  1. I was thinking that in some ways it's a pity the trolls are not here to witness the (above) fruits of their labour.

    Then I remembered of course they are here; jist cannae post.

  2. Adds up to 97 and 94 respectively. YouGov says 1 and 6% chose other parties.

    I'm really curious about that 6% Other. That's equal to the Greens' share, but it's probably split between Galloway's party and the two new pro-indy parties.

      Has the full figures.

      3% SSP
      1% Brexit (yeuch)
      1% "some other party"

    2. A list pro-indy party obviously falls under 'some other party', so is on <1%, even with the keen promotion it's had from the unionist media as it attempts to split the indy vote.

    3. Beautiful to see the Brexit party behind the SSP. Whatever happened to them, either?

  4. Excellent news. Rant of real joy follows.

    BEGIN RANT

    When the tension between people's lived reality and the messaging from the infosphere they swim in becomes too great, eventually something snaps and they have eureka moments, epiphanies, the scales fall from their eyes, they see the light, call it what you want. The more blatantly They lie and the more They treat us as if our heids zipped up the back - by They I mean our Westminster pols and the slavish Great British Meeja Machine which feeds us an unvarying diet of “British” (i.e., English) exceptionalist crap - the more people wake up to what They are actually doing.

    Once the omnipresent Britnattery is seen for what it is, it can’t be unseen, and we get another non-volatile voter for independence.

    END RANT

    P.S. I would tell you I miss the trolls, James, but I'd be lying.

  6. Alex Salmond is as unpopular as Boris that should kill off the small independence parties ambitions
