If the u...One political earthquake follows another. If the unionist media wasn't so laughably biased then the staggering and colossal rise in the SNP membership would have been given the prominence it deserved and a poll like this would not have seemed all that surprising in the wake of it. Fact is if it was any other party but the Yes parties who had experienced the kind of massive surge in membership it would have utterly dominated the political discourse. Imagine for a second if the tories or labour had experienced more than a tripling of their membership in a matter of a few very short weeks. You think that wouldn't have been 24/7 across every newspaper and TV news outlet in the land? Course it would have. They reap what they sow and this proves that they can spin the Eggman and Labour's meltdown all they like because the political reality is way, <i>way</i> ahead of them.Mick Porknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-21165472297643267202014-10-30T20:39:30.200+00:002014-10-30T20:39:30.200+00:00What if the Tory voters, who have been on the rece...What if the Tory voters, who have been on the receiving end of tactical voting in Scotland for decades are seeing a chance of revenge?
