Before anyone bites my head off, the headline is merely a running in-joke from the comments section.
The Sunday Times paywall was proving more of a barrier than usual to finding out the full Norstat poll results on Saturday night, but I've now caught up with the remaining results, which are basically leadership ratings and questions about the Scottish Budget. The leadership figures in particular bolster the impression that the 2026 election is now very much the SNP's to lose.
Net ratings for party leaders:
John Swinney (SNP): -7
Anas Sarwar (Labour): -17
Russell Findlay (Conservatives): - 25
Kemi Badenoch (Conservatives): -29
Keir Starmer (Labour): -32
I think the public, both north and south of the border, have now made up their minds about Starmer, and his personal ratings are likely to remain thoroughly dismal for however long he stays on as Prime Minister - barring some kind of freakish event akin to the Falklands War or the pandemic. So that means he's going to be a millstone around the neck of Labour in Scotland going into the election, and to offset that effect they would really want to have a very popular leader at Scottish level. Instead Sarwar continues to trail Swinney and by a bigger margin than before.
It's been ages since we last saw a head-to-head Swinney v Sarwar "Who would be the best First Minister?" question from Redfield & Wilton, but if a poll like that was conducted now I would be amazed if it didn't show a big Swinney lead - remember that even Humza Yousaf usually led Sarwar on the head-to-head, despite being behind Sarwar on the net ratings.
So far at least, the Budget has proved to be very shrewd and effective in terms of its political impact, with overwhelming public support for four of the six specific measures that Norstat polled about. The two more controversial items were ending the two-child cap, which is supported by the public but only by a margin of 38% to 27%, and free bus travel for asylum seekers, which depressingly is opposed by the public by a significant margin of 48% to 25%. Interestingly, after the UK Budget, polls showed that voters were in favour of Rachel Reeves' individual measures but didn't like the package as a whole, whereas in the Norstat poll more respondents think the Scottish Budget will make themselves better off than think it will make them worse off, and a plurality think it will also make the country as a whole better off. So that looks like a comprehensive success story for Shona Robison and John Swinney.

John Swinney 2.0 is proving to be a surprising success. We're also fortunate at the moment having Sarwar and Starmer as Labour leaders. Both are pretty insipid but Sarwar is particularly devoid of charisma. Anybody who polls less favourably than Useless really should go and do something else for a living.
ReplyDeleteI hope he doesn't, obviously!
Swinney is blessed by a breathtaking lack of talent opposing him. All three of the Brit establishment parties are in the doldrums, and their leaders are almost lab-engineered to be unappealing.
DeleteReform is the threat. Swinney’s well placed to fend them off with his earnest dullness and appeals to tradition and conservatism. I think England would be safer from the Farage threat if they had a leader both as dull and as believable as him. He’s your man for keeping the deckchairs well arranged, no matter how much the ship is tilting.
But will he and his fellow Sturgeon-picked loyalists take us one inch closer to independence?
Sturgeon, sturgeon sturgeon. We are moving to 2025 and some folk are stuck in their grievances. What are the writers doing for independence. SFA.
DeleteThe We hate Nicola brigade is strong on here. It’s always someone else’s fault.
DeleteAs long as her loyal hand picked stooges are in charge of the SNP, we aren't getting any progress AT ALL on independence. So yes, it is her doing. Her legacy.
DeleteWhat can anyone do to push indy forward when THE SNP IS AGAINST IT? You answer that one.
It’s you complaining. You tell us.
DeleteIt's a rhetorical question. The answer is obvious: fuck all.
DeleteThey need replaced with independence supporters in charge of "the party of independence" again. Until then, we're snookered.
If we stick to our guns on civic nationalism, we can’t dispense with it when it comes to other countries, including England. If we call our migrants ‘new Scots’, well we should consider England as reciprocating with ‘new English’. If all people living in Scotland, voting here etc are ‘Scots citizens’, then in England these are ‘English citizens’ we’d hope right? To suggest otherwise, and that Scots can’t become English in the same way English folks can become (new) Scots if they want to be, would be anti-English.
DeleteAs for self-id for protected characteristics, I support this. There is no choice. Being LGBT etc isn’t genetic, nor is being Scottish. You can’t prove people’s identity, so you have to take what they say at face value. So people can live anywhere in the world and still see themselves as Scottish, self-identifying as that, and I completely accept them as that 100% (not least because if I e.g. retire to France with Mrs SS, it would be me). Except, like Stuart Campbell, if they oppose self-id for protected characteristics. Then they can’t be Scottish unless they live in Scotland. It’s that or they see Scottish as genetic blood and soil, which makes them a right-wing racist. Must be one of the two, or they need to support self-id.
Is your master plan to put everyone's gender self-ID on their passports or something, Declan?
DeleteDeclan Skier is Ross Anderson and I claim my free prize.
DeleteRoss Anderson is according to Scottish Skier his real name. Skier posting his nonsense on SGP again. As if he doesn’t post enough on the Wee Dug site.
DeleteWonder if there's any politician currently with a net positive rating.
ReplyDeleteCeline Gottwald would probably be in the +20s
DeleteDid they include Trump that poll, by any chance? I can’t stand the eijit, but his Tik Tok juju must be working magic going by how popular he seems to be among the younger folk I know. Must be a breeze when you’ve Elon on your side.
DeleteHow does Elon help? Twitter is still popular but not so much with the younger demographic, I wouldn't have thought?
DeleteTBF, I don't watch Tiktok so I really don't know how its algorithm operates. I just assume Elon's bankrolling whatever it takes to reach the folk Trump has attracted. I could well be wrong, but someone is.
DeleteI remember exactly how awkward it was for folk here in Scotland to tell me they actually quite liked Trump eight years ago. They'd try to figure out if I'd ridicule them first. (I actually don't. I'd much rather hear people's honest mind, in person.) Now though, there's no such coyness. They show me their phones and say "watch his dance, it's mad, she'd never do that, of course he was going to win!"
Some fair fraction of folk seem attracted to him for the spectacle and the chummy, "authenticity" he gives off. The usual strengths of a rising pedagogue. Notably, these are exactly the folk who have no opinions whatsoever on complex policy, so however he's reaching them it's working just as nicely over here.
I ask them about Farage, as well of course. Not so cool as Donald. They like how they're buds, though.
Demagogue, rather. Though the way teens are coming round to him—the few I know, anyway—maybe excuses my mistake!
DeletePedagogue? That's last thing Trump is.
DeleteSorry. Too slow.
DeleteI don't think much of Trump at all. What's interesting is the network around him, pushing this senescent diddy so hard down normal folk's throats that he's back in charge of the world's superpower again, more popular than ever, despite instigating a revolt that almost killed his vice president.
DeleteThat's remarkable. In fact, it's utterly incredible. You couldn't make this shit up. So who exactly is? That's what interests me.
In the US the Democrats basically focussed on the wrong issues.
DeleteTrump focussed on the economy and securing the border whereas Harris focussed largely on democracy and painting Trump supporters in the same light as the Nazis which isn't exactly the best way to win people over. It was like they were determined to just stop Trump for its own sake whereas Trump was talking about making America great again.
When it came down to is most people care more about the money in their pocket and they felt like Trump was speaking more to them.
Do the Liberals have a leader?
DeleteIt would appear Swinney is confounding the lot of you. IFS and his pal are unusually quiet. The sad wee anon posts of Steady hand blah blah blah should be causing embarrassment to those who put them up, but I suspect they are just hearing a loud woooshing noise. Entertaining.
ReplyDeleteAw, missing IfS are you? Diddums.
DeleteDinnae worry. He'll be back to call you a tosser again soon enough.
They complain about how often IFS posts then try and goad him into a response when he hasn't posted. Of course, they never have anything to say about independence or even politics in general.
DeleteDo you really not grasp the pretty simple point being made? IFS first to badmouth, but never concedes that SNP may actually be doing relatively well. What a pair of muppets.
DeleteYet he has said nothing here while you're on bad mouthing him with nothing to say about the subject of the blog. You don't do irony, do you?
DeleteTalking of irony, did you notice he refers to 'sad wee anons' while posting anonymously himself 🤣
Delete10.12am. What would you post about if ifs stopped posting ? You come across as a complete waste of space.
DeleteThis was hilarious in your head wasn’t it?
ReplyDeleteI call him the Andre Rieu of the political world. Trashy, vulgar, tasteless.
DeleteObviously you are feeling down based on the independence vote upturn.
ReplyDeletePunched the air when I seen this poll. John Swinney is clearly the best First Minister in the history of devolution.
ReplyDeletehe's a crazy boy - does 40 in 30 zone; puts salt and sauce on his chips - he doesn't care
ReplyDeleteMan man, no vinegar? Crazy.

DeleteSG did well with expectation management in this budget. Too many times in recent years there has been a familiar sense of dread that tax bands were about to be pushed up again - see even a performative easing of tax rates by a tenner and a bag of sweets has been well received.
ReplyDeleteWait, where can we claim this bag of sweets?
DeleteShona Robison will spit in every 50th bag of sweeties. Are you willing to take those odds?
DeleteTbh, the biggest improvement has been the Scot Gov going more than a week without scoring a massive own goal and being silent about the trannies for a change.
ReplyDeleteYou've only gone and given them a challenge!
DeleteStrange that the folk who have real issues about other folks private parts tend to be the right wing Brit nats. Never stop worrying about it, it seems and asking questions.
DeleteYou really think the Isla Bryson bùrach didn't damage the SNP? Are all your pals queer theory graduates, perchance?
DeleteAnon at 1.28. A tiny proportion of the population are directly affected by or exercised by this. BBC and MSM aided by the useful idiots, amplified this issue as they could see the damage it would inflict on SNP. The tactic worked. The issue seems (fortunately) to have been set aside for the present by the present SNP leadership. Leave it.
DeleteNo argument that it's an immensely toxic issue, far best left alone.
DeleteNow, how about independence, John?
Anon at 2.14. We are in agreement, but like you I am struggling for a clear way forward.
DeleteAnon 148: you comment “ Are all your pals queer theory graduates, perchance?” Answer : no. Question: why are so many right wing posters like you so concerned about sex? Must be very fraught in your household.
DeletePalestine for Queers! chanted literally not one person ever.
DeleteI asked if you move in identitarian, bourgeois circles, anon, to emphasize the point I made about Isla Bryson. How far did you have your fingers in your ears through that affair?
DeleteThere is mainstream cut-through on this stuff. The "them/they" anti-Kamala ad was very effective. I've even had non-political friends mention it to me over here, as their "liberal" mate who they "knew it would wind up!"
Anon2:07, if only a tiny proportion of the population are exercised about trans, why do you say the media amplify it because they know how much it would damage the SNP?
DeleteIt seems to me that the SNP have a chance to be the government after the 2026 election. But it is not guaranteed. I believe they will have a much better chance of being in power if Swinney declares it a de facto referendum.
ReplyDeleteSo why would Swinney not declare it a de facto? It seems a win win on the face of it. A chance of a majority yes vote and at least a better chance of more SNP MSPs and still being the government after the election. If he does not declare it a de facto the only logical conclusion can be he is scared a majority yes vote actually occurs and he would be expected to do something about it.
He's concerned that the electorate currently care more about bread and butter issues than the constitution. Also after losing so many MPs in the General Election that could be seen as too big of a risk that he's not willing to take.
DeleteIf you want a bold risk taker John Swinney isn't your man.
2.47pm. Thank you for your reply. I fail to see how it is a risk. The main point in my comment was that it is a win win. The SNP will get more votes. Yes is 54% in that poll. SNP is 37% and 32%. Seems obvious to me. What you seem to think is that of the 37% SNP a lot will not vote SNP because they don’t want to vote for independence. Strange.
DeleteMy opinion is they lost a lot of MPs this year because of their failure on independence. The SNP had previously promised a de facto for the UK GE.
If we lose, as is quite probable, a de facto referendum you can forget even being allowed to discuss let alone advance Indy plans in public forums and broadcast media for the foreseeable future. The BBC and the MSM control the narrative, and it will be a simple narrative. Third Time Lucky?!! No way. You had your chances. Please look at the reality outwith our bubble.
DeleteThough putting indy on the back burner moves it downs peoples priority list. If it's not an active issue or a potential active issue why would the electorate give it any considering in their voting intention?
DeleteAlso more importantly you don't increase support for independence by not focusing on it.
Anon at 3.46. I don’t disagree but that’s the quandary. Part of me wants a de facto referendum and the other part knows we could be killing off Indy for the foreseeable future. And we lack an inspirational leader. Look at some of the supposed Indy supporters on here. Can we rely on their vote? I doubt it.
DeleteI mean, if the SNP were to propose holding a Constitutional Convention bringing together all sides of the Yes movement to discuss and hopefully unite behind a shared strategy there would likely be a lot of initial scepticism. Though, if all parties emerged from that largely aligned and singing from the same hymn sheet, I think most people would be willing to set aside their differences and fall in line for the greater good.
DeleteThe greatest frustration so far has been the lack of olive branches or a willingness to cooperate with others. Instead, there has been a consistent demand that the SNP is in control and that everyone else must simply fall in line behind them.
It's Latin. A language spoken by the Romans.
Delete4.49pm heard of Google?
DeleteDe facto means in effect.
Eg Some would say if the SNP keep doing nothing about independence then de facto they are a Britnat party.
“Killing off Indy for the foreseeable future” don’t see it. Sounds like a pathetic cowardly approach.
DeleteHa! Good one!
DeleteSo why would Swinney not declare it a de facto? It seems a win win on the face of it. A chance of a majority yes vote and at least a better chance of more SNP MSPs and still being the government after the election. If he does not declare it a de facto the only logical conclusion can be he is scared a majority yes vote actually occurs and he would be expected to do something about it.
DeleteWhether he's scared of that or not, there are valid reasons that a de facto referendum is a non-starter for a Holyrood GE.
For one thing, it requires a one-line manifesto. What happens if the SNP win on such a manifesto and are expected to form a government for which they have put no programme to the electorate? The time for a de facto is a Westminster election - it's actually perfect for it, since they're basically pointless in every other way - not when the SNP are vying to be in office.
Swinney is just as likely to call a de-facto indyref as Anas Sarwar.
DeleteWhy? Because they are both British. Simple.
Anon at 5 pm. Try to contribute to the conversation, instead of nasty personal abuse.
DeleteKeaton, I am sure you are an intelligent person so it was surprising to read that you thought a yes vote would mean “no programme to the electorate”’. The programme would be to
Deletepursue independence. Remember it’s the founding principle of the SNP. It’s not nonsense like self ID.
You are placing devolution as a hindrance to independence.
The country doesn't want a referendum right now, no matter what the Yes movement says. As the OP above says, fronting it above the bread and butter issues now would kill off any chance at a more appropriate time. If Swinney is gaining support, it's because he is where the country is and that's important. The country isn't interested in seeing a performer and a flash fireworks personality or bloviating entertainer. They want some peace and serious getting on with the day job stability for a while. There is no cowardice in thinking country as a whole right now and engaging with others of the same mindset. It's what the country needs because world events and its consequences rolling up on these shores means no Scottish Government in current circumstances can be equipped in any realistic way to make radical moves on anything which requires sustained reliable ready available SPARE risk protected finance. Labour can effect a poor oot any time they take that whim - ScotGov doesn't have nearly enough behind any sofa anywhere to make us match fit for any independence referendum event. The Yes movement can bloviate braveheart and ignore that - but the OP is correct. Front it now - we lose. End of. The smart folk in the Yes movement know that - but for the sake of keeping popular support - won't say it in so many words, but they know.

A comment btl on that National Swinney article ends with this:
Delete"We are world class when it comes to falling out with each other and, until that stops, we have zero chance of achieving independence."
Indeed.
I think you don't appreciate the anger about Swinney's treatment of Salmond. If you can't empathise with that and only obey a self imposed convention we will never get independence.
DeleteIt showed absolutely no respect for Salmond and his family.
DeleteIt's not about respect it's about anger - a word takes a second, guy might even have regreted it or have touretes, good manners are impeding the independence movement.
DeleteIf only it was just discord and rancour that was holding us back.
DeleteFace it: there is no progress possible as long as the SNP leadership is against it.

DeleteHe deleted comments a few weeks ago which condemned so called football fans ruining the minutes silence on Remembrance Sunday in respect of our war dead, so no great surprise. I agree with you @4:21, its disgraceful beyond belief.
DeleteAs an ardent supporter of independence, I can't help but feel that support for independence will marginally rise while the actual prospect of independence is off the table. Once it becomes a realistic option, I think support for it will drop.
ReplyDeleteBased on what? The only historical experience we have suggests the opposite. When independence was seen to become an actual possibility in 2013-4, support shot up to the 45-55% range where it's pretty much stayed since
DeleteFitzyFan. I'd say you have a PhD in Logic and Philosophy. Am I right?
