Red faces for the Lib Dems as Panelbase poll finds Nicola Sturgeon is more popular than Jo Swinson ACROSS BRITAIN

Just a quick one, because I was amused by a little detail from the latest Britain-wide Panelbase poll, which is bang up to date because it was conducted between Wednesday and yesterday.  Respondents were asked to give their views on the leaders of the five largest parties (Conservatives, Labour, SNP, Liberal Democrats and Brexit Party).  As you'd expect given the diet of bile about the SNP that the right-wing press routinely serve up for their southern readers, Nicola Sturgeon's ratings are nothing to write home about.  24% think she's doing well, and 39% think she's doing badly, giving her a net approval rating of -15.  But that's still enough to slightly outperform Jo Swinson, who 22% think is doing well, and 39% think is doing badly, giving a net approval rating of -17.

If Ms Swinson is less popular even than a filthy Jock separatist, maybe she isn't quite the Messiah her party have been taking her for.

It goes without saying that Ms Sturgeon is also more popular throughout Britain than Jeremy Corbyn (who has a net approval rating of -39) and Nigel Farage (who has a net approval rating of -28).

    1. Wait! So what you're saying, Anon, is that Nicola Sturgeon is the SECOND MOST POPULAR LEADER ACROSS BRITAIN OUT OF FIVE? Is that what you're saying? Wait! Gosh!

      As you know, Nicola Sturgeon is far more popular than Boris Johnson in Scotland, which is what actually matters from an electoral point of view.

    2. Knickerless is not popular with the majority Unionists and she is prepared to sell out Scotland to the EU.

    3. There's 11 million across the UK giving her the thumbs up.

      Well over double the entire electorate of Scotland.

    4. Over half the Scottish electorate do not support the Nat sis. What others have in mind is irrelevant.

    5. It was a UK-wide poll, so English voter opinion is relevant even though you hate them.

    6. No point in having a UK poll for a Scottish only vote.

    7. My point was that the UK - mostly England, obviously - loves Boris the Blusterer most of all.
      Seems like a pro-indy argument to me.

  2. Knickerless probably gives Barnier a better blow job than Swinson although both are EU grovellers and a shame on the Scottish nation.

    1. 44% in the subsample. Fairly typical.

    2. That must be Scots who have left Scotland for England to work but still hold a grievance against the English.

    3. Opinium have the Tories at 36 in the subsample; was 30 in their last. So they seem to have them higher than anyone else

    4. Your Deltapoll has things the other way around, so cancels it out :-)

      But aye, opinium subsamples tend to show higher Tory, lower brexit. Might be a prompting thing.

  4. 10% of the population every developed country in the world are educationally sub average, in England that makes 5.5 million so that means they outvote the entire population of Scotland
    Now you see why America is in the state it's in and why smaller countries are more nimble at managing their morons thus making them more successful
    You can spot the morons in Scotland, they live on their Mums internet all day then go to football and wave political flags thinking it's a *British* flag and won't be told there's no such flag exists

    1. The morons in Scotland wave EU and Irish Republican flags. They have never accepted they left their former homelands are came to the UK. They could leave but wil not.

  5. The Scottish cockroaches are infesting every part of the internet with their *Britishness* loyalty to a people who don't and will never consider them British
    Their great leader Boris Johnson calls them a verminous race and somehow the loyal Scots Britishers think that doesn't mean them too

  6. My theory is that the English can't stand that fake accent either.

  7. James, some of the comments are beyond offensive. I know you moderate a lot of them, but you may need to put in pre-moderation for the duration of the election.

    1. No, you're not away out leafleting. You are a blowhard fantasy merchant writing drivel on the internet in a patronising Harry Lauder-style mishmash of standard English and badly spelled faux Scots. Comic.

    2. Never seen a leaflet in his life. Stuck to the sofa with the remote control in one hand and a fag in the other. Can of Tennents nearby. Overweight wife in her dressing gown boiling up mince for the breakfast. Off to cash the children's allowance later so they can go to the bingo.

    3. Erm, for the thick as pigshit folks out there... you know you can get the radio while out and about right? There's one in most cars. Your phone will also happily provide it too. Even 'antique' personal stereos from the 80's can do this.

    4. Oh, and speak English please, instead of mixing in french words in a patronising mishmash. Is English lacking as a language to the extent you can't express yourself properly with out relying on others to fill the gaps?

  11. Today is the day we remember those that fought and died for democracy and rights of people across the world to have a Section 30 if they vote for one, free from the fascists who would deny them that.

    Lest we forget.

  12. I'm sure when I did O grade maths, 'sub average' would have equalled 50%.

    1. I'm not quite sure what you mean here, but it's perfectly possible for less or more than half of a sample to be 'sub average'.

      For example, yesterday's poll:
      SNP 42%
      Conservatives 22%
      Liberal Democrats 13%
      Labour 12%
      Brexit Party 6%
      Greens 4%

      Average share of the vote = 16.5%
      Parties with a sub average share of the vote = 4/6 or 80%.

    2. You've probably done this already, but I put those figures into Electoral Calculus and got: SNP 50 seats, Lib 5, Con 3, Lab 1.
      Libs retain their 4 and take NE Fife; Con lose 10 but retain Lamont, Mundell and Bowie; Lab lose all but Edinburgh Sth.

  13. "John": For the avoidance of doubt, if you keep trolling this thread, I'm going to keep deleting your comments. You'd be better advised to stop wasting your own time.

  14. I enjoyed the blog as usual, but I cant help wondering what kind of person would come onto a pro-independence blog just to have the piss ripped out of them. The jokes they come out with are childish at best and just shit as usual.

    1. Some people have a sense of humour which is severely lacking in the Scottish Nat si movement. We Unionists can cope with the constant moaning and hard done tae crap from you Nat sis.

  16. How funny to note how things have changed. Not so long ago, spending the day watching the TV was called watching the TV. Now it seems to be called leafletting (with two "t"s for some reason). Odd.
