Exquisite end-of-year poll puts SNP / Greens on course to retain pro-independence Holyrood majority


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

  1. The 2021 election already delivered what you would call a pro-independence majority in Holyrood. Since 2021 there has been three pro-independence FM's.

    What has been "achieved" is the SNP confirming the WM puppet parliament of Holyrood cannot legislate for independence referendums (without WM consent) and the SNP / Greens happily accepting that as the end of the matter.

    So, what would be the use in voting SNP (or Green) if your only motivation for doing so is Scottish independence?

    1. So what's your wizard plan, Anon? Voting for the far-right anti-independence party Reform, presumably?

    2. My motivation for independence hasn't waned despite the brits trying their best over many decades to cause doubt. Best people to govern Scotland are the Scots. Now away and lock yourself in your wee holiday home. Enjoy Hogmanay and Nere'day. 2026 cant come quick enough.

    3. Different Anon here. I don’t think I'll vote at all. My vote is not a hostage to empty threats that THIS TIME WE REALLY MEAN IT.

      Swinney and Flynn have already blown the ruse and confirmed in interviews the plan is to ask for s.30 and hope it works for once. The top secret plan is to let Wee Ginger Dug and the National cry them a river as they continue, quite relived, in devolved office.

      Again in 2032, chaps?

      No I won't vote for that. I won't vote for Sarwar / Israel / Farage or anything else I despise, either. So I won't vote. That’s all that’s available to me. And 100,000 more of us who reached the same conclusion in 2024.

      The responsibility for a plan doesn’t rest on you or me. It rests on Swinney and the SNP. No plan, no vote.

  2. Proves that predicting the future is always difficult. If you think where we were this time last year SNP is looking better as well as Greens. Labour Lib Dem tories and reform are rats in a bag fighting over who can be more right wing. Greens are looking ok. ALBA and your party are wasting time.

    1. I rather have a pro-Indy majority with SNP + anyone except Greens. The extreme left are as bad as the extreme right. Centre left or centre at a push please.

    2. I prefer predicting the past. If you know what happened you can tell people after. It's great

  3. I think the Greens will suffer when Ross Greer goes on TV and TicTok and people realise he isn't Zack Polanski in any way whatsoever.

  4. We should get great thunder on board. Shed work wonders with the youngsters.

  5. Is Reform likely to have enough candidates ready in time for the May election? Or are they going to have to rely on more Tories jumping over?
