Scot Goes Pop: The Final Fundraiser is underway (you can read more about why I anticipate it being the final one HERE) and it's already pretty close to halfway to its target figure of £1700. A million thanks to everyone who has donated so far. Card donations can be made at the GoFundMe page HERE, or if you prefer to cut out the middle-man, direct PayPal donations can be made to my PayPal email address, which is: jkellysta@yahoo.co.uk
It looks like snp won't budge from a 30% floor to 35% average with greens on 10% ish.
ReplyDeleteRemains to be seen if a campaign will have an effect but sans campaign snp seem certain to be the most voted for party.
There isn't much focus on the election yet though. I think a campaign focusing on snp longevity in govt could affect them. But reform could also spur snp waivers to stick with them.
Labour would have been a shoe in if the UK election had come second to the Scottish imo
It took Starmer's excruciating government to "tarnish" the Labour brand, or whatever the political journalism word is for a thick covering in shite!
DeleteThose low %ages for SNP and Greens are a damning with weak praise. What kind of mandate does 40 odd percent for pro-Indy parties win us? Just the kind Swinney wants: less Indy, more Wheesht.
John Swinney will bring forward a package of measures in Spring 06 to address these issues.
DeleteWhat "low percentage for the SNP"? You mean 37%? You'd be hard pressed to find a party anywhere in western Europe doing better than that.
DeleteIfs is just upset as to how the election is looking.
DeleteMy point was "Does 45% look like a mandate for independence?" It didn’t in 2014. The fact the British parties are still polling 55% even in these dismal circumstances is galling. This is what we get when the leadership doesn’t believe in independence, doesn’t want to push it, and certainly don’t want to be held responsible for it.
DeleteWe have nothing to celebrate here. We'll still be exactly where we are when PM Farage arrives.
"My point was "Does 45% look like a mandate for independence?""
DeleteThat's a totally irrelevant question, given that the average pro-independence vote in the polls this year is 50.3%. You're doing a KC, and it's not helping anyone.
Re: unpublished anonymous comment by KC. Nice try, KC.
DeleteIt's really hard for one party to muster all the support for a single issue especially if they've been in power for 20 years with all the skeletons and familiarity breeding contempt.
DeleteMore like 35-40% range now, surely?
ReplyDeleteMore in Common, Westminster voting intention, field work 19 - 23 Dec.
ReplyDeleteUK headlines; RefUK 6% lead over Tories (Labour trailing by 1%), -3% week on week.
Farage’s fortunes fall precipitously on the Wiki, best fit graph. In this time of peace & goodwill to all men, racist scum ain’t in fashion.
Scottish sub-sample (115)
Con 12%, Lab 17%, LibDem 14%, RefUK 19%, Green 5%, SNP 31%

ReplyDeletePolice are looking for witnesses.
Have a great Festive 'thing' James and thanks for the content this year.
ReplyDeleteYes. Me too. I agree with a LOT of what people say on here. A lot. Not everything, but a lot. I've been saying that sort of thing for years. Every since I was in Aberfeldy.
DeleteSuperb
DeleteIf I was to bet for next may I'd go
ReplyDeleteSnp 29%
Reform 17%
Labour 16%
Tory 12%
Greens 10%
Fib dems 8%
Were in the land of no-one being very popular.
Pro Indy vote will be around 45% so I'd add 3% each to SNP and Scottish Greens.
DeleteAnon 1043. I think you are showing your britnat troo’s.
DeleteJust happened to pick up the news on BBC radio 2. Headline news. England won at cricket over Australia. Who says the bbc is biased!
DeleteFolks are always wanting to know what I think about things so here's the heads up that I'll be writing on here much more often in tge new year. Deep breath. Helmets on. Charge!!
DeleteAnon at 9.16 am ... yes, and according to Radio 4's news at 7 am, 8 am and 9 am, the most important thing happening in the world was ... England winning a game of cricket. I don't know how the BBC manages to remain so utterly clueless.
DeleteNational: "Swinney ‘duping’ supporters into thinking he can win majority, says Anas Sarwar>/i>"
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I think that should read:
"Starmer ‘duping’ Scots into thinking Sarwar is a leader, says everybody"
Depressingly Steven Flynn says that if the SNP get a majority at the election then it is likely the Labour party will replace Starmer. He says it will strengthen the SNP mandate to hold a referendum. So that's it then. A lot of us knew it but now surely, we all know. There is no secret plan it's just back to begging for a section 30. Business as usual, thanks.
ReplyDeleteAs part of the agreement for the bayeux tapestry being sent From France to England next year the French will get in exchange the Lewis Chess pieces. Can I suggest the Brit museum send them back to Scotland thereafter and to Lewis in particular. This is all part of part of an "Anglo" French agreement. While they are at it they can send the other stolen goods back to Greece such as the "Elgin" marbles.
ReplyDeleteRefUK are on the slide even with Farage friendly Find Out Now.
ReplyDeleteWestminster voting intention, field work 24 Dec.
UK headlines; RefUK 12% lead, -3% on last week, Con, Lab, & Green unchanged, beneficiaries LibDem, SNP, & others.
Scottish sub-sample (136)
Con 13%, Lab 7%, LibDem 9%, RefUK 22%, Green 13%, SNP 34%.
It seems polluting my YouTube feed with ubiquitous targeted adverts featuring the stultifying personality of Anas Sarwar is having unintended consequences. A man with a character so dull he couldnae even hack it as a dentist.
