More analysis of the Dundee by-elections
Just a quick note to let you know I've written a short analysis piece for The National about the SNP's victories in yesterday's two Dundee by-elections - you can read it HERE.
Just to explain, Iain was responding to two troll comments from KC, which I've since deleted. I hope KC's masters are paying him well, because no-one can deny that he puts in the hours.
I doubt he is getting paid well. There is quantity but the quality is severely lacking. In fact when you read his posts you would tend to think I’m glad I’m not like him.
From the article, regards the British parties failing to overtake the SNP during transfers:
> Curiously, that can be partly explained by the fact that the number one destination of vote transfers from the Workers Party was the pro-independence Alba Party.
It's not that curious, really. Galloway's lot are quite distinct from the Butchers Apron waving bigots of Reform and the other unionists who are all shoulder to shoulder with Netanyahu, up to their knees in you know what.
Scottish independence isn't the only issue motivating every voter in Scotland. A lot of people are furious with Israel, too.
Don't forget that George Galloway is a Lochee lad. And his party's candidate there was an old school mate. Plus Galloway used to be Dundee Labour in the days when the city was red. So there's a lot of really local stuff in Galloway's party vote, and in the transfers.
You seem to be captivated by a subject you claim to view with disdain. Odd.
