GB-wide YouGov poll: Greens STAY AHEAD of Labour, and SNP lead by 8 in Scotland
Later in this video, I also provide some more information / offer some thoughts on why YouGov may be systemically underestimating independence support in their full-scale Scottish polls.
James, just caught up with your exchange yesterday with the "Alliance to Liberate Scotland" whacko nutjobs. What a bunch of f*kin toddlers they are. I don't know how you manage to stay so patient and polite with them, I tip my hat to you.
Toddlers whackos too right. Spoiler alert, folks: no party headquarted in Barcelona and led by old dude called BARCELONA BOY is going to "liberate Scotland", OK
Hold noses, join SNP, push for change in independence policy and appropriate new leadership. Meanwhile, maximise SNP votes to keep out 'reform' and keep the pressure on Labour.
Anyway, the moment after the election when Swinney announces that "with a heavy heart" he's doing hee haw about independence so we'd better just buckle ourselves down, bottoms up for Farage. That moment will be clarifying.
With two months to go Reform!!! Eeek!!! appears to be the SNP's main, and possibly only new policy, if that even qualifies as a policy. I can't see them getting 27% of the electorate to bother to leave their houses.
Just takes one wee poll to be out of kilter with most others and show a slight drop in SNP support, to have all the Wing-Nuts and ex-Alba cretins crawl out the woodwork and spring into life.

DeletePointless Swinney continues to be the union's most effective asset in Scotland.
ReplyDelete12.56 ya nob!!!

ReplyDeleteTried that. SNP constitution effectively prevents any change in leadership that the present leadership do not consent to.
Delete8.44am - does that mean Swinney is a dictator and the SNP are not democratic?
Delete8:44 is correct. The Brit wing of the SNP bolted the door to the cockpit shut.

DeletePuir wee anon at 844am. Never thought of becoming leader of the pack? Too hard?
ReplyDeleteNational: "Labour pledge £10m for new Scottish colleges 'but only if SNP pay the same' "
ReplyDeleteI think the ScotGov should do the same:
"SNP pledge £67.9 billion for 2026-27 budget 'but only if Labour pay the same' "
Thanks Starmer, and your pet muppet Alexander.
Herald: "Bomb disposal squad called to RAF Lossiemouth after 'suspicious item' found "
DeleteDouglas Alexander was heard to mutter "Don't you know who I am?"
Lets say snp say No. I would assume Labour will still give £10m bribe to colleges- which is our money anyway.

ReplyDeleteThey will be forced to crawl back soon enough.
