Scottish By Election

Massive result and hopefully a sign of things to come. Britain needs the Scots to back Labour. Too many English will unbelievably still vote Tory regardless. Usually those middle aged and comfortable in life.

Perhaps Scots are also starting to see any problems in Scotland isn’t because of a 300 year Union. It’s because of the SNP.

I think that's how the Tories will soon it too. Sunak lied about "separatism", to use a typically Tory violent word, being on the wane.

They'll ignore their collapse and spin it as an SNP failure. Which to be fair it was

I’d predicted that some 6 months back and got shot down in flames by a few on here who were basically calling me a liar. I spend a lot of time in Scotland for work and the amount of resentment towards the SNP has increased substantially over the last 18months.

Single issue party with a few bawbies thrown at the voters to hide the sheer incompetence of the SNP which matches the English Tories. For HS2 read Cal Mac Ferries

Also the Edinburgh tram. That started getting built in 2012 and took ten years. It was massively over budget too. Although in context public infrastructure projects usually tend to go well beyond what the initial budget was set at.

Agree about the tram - Refused to speak to any of Manchester or Nottingham about how they did theirs and lessons learnt. I do like it now though:)
 
The SNP meltdown will be in full force come the time of the election. people are seeing them for what they really are.

They lost their deposit too I think :LOL:

Absolutely hammered, good signs.

The 4% is made up of 5% rich people, 25% who think they're rich, and 70% gullible idiots.
 
Yes the SNP vote collapsed but some of that will be down to many wanting to see the back of the tories who lost their deposit.
The tories are toast

Losing their stronghold in Scotland massively hurt labour’s vote share as that’s the irony the snp have helped the tories get elected.

The Edinburgh tram system is an Edinburgh City Council project, not SNP. The SNP might have improved the management of the project if it had been more involved. As it was, the (SNP) government did provide some funding but refused to get involved in the management of the project.

The tram project wasn't well managed, but it was much more complex than Nottingham or Manchester because it runs through a UNESCO heritage site.
