YouGov MRP mega-poll shows SNP on course to hold the BALANCE OF POWER at Westminster - and the right to hold independence referendums MUST be their price to keep Burnham as PM


An audio podcast version of the above video can be heard HERE, and will soon be available on Apple Podcasts HERE.

  1. In his latest whine, Wee Stewie is trying to gaslight the SNP into thinking they have to be nicer to Nigel Farage if they are serious about independence. He's not exactly subtle, is he?

    1. His hatred of the SNP is visceral.

    2. Campbell should concentrate on politics in Somerset. He and his puppets like Clerkin are irrelevant to Scotland.

    3. IFSY and Campbell are an item. Explains a lot.

    4. People say Farage is a scumbag. Fair enough. But actually Rick Stein and Andre Rieu are the worst people in human history.

      It explains a lot of what goes on inside the head of an anon troll like 6.07pm. Most of these anon posters are nowt but lowlife Britnat trash.

  2. If the branch office has anything to do with it, they'll let Farage into Downing Street before they'll ever agree to a section 30 and crow to their mates in the sewer rags about how it's all the SNP's fault.

    1. They just voted and conceded Scotlands right to decide. That is a step forward.

      Delete
    2. The right, yes; the mechanism, no. The branch office will insist on shifting goalposts and ridiculous hurdles in an effort to chase the SNP away from the negotiating table. That allows them to claim that the SNP don't negotiate in good faith and let Fagash into Downing Street.

  3. I honestly dont think Labour would stake one cycle of government as a bet when they could actually lose Scotland.

    They'd never be forgiven for allowing a referendum if they lose that many seats as a means to stay in power.

  4. No UK PM is ever going to grant a referendum, and be forever remembered as the person who was responsible for the breakup of the UK.

    2. Thanks to Sturgeon, nobody other than a UK PM has the power to hold a referendum.
      That's her legacy, right there.

    3. A village in England just held a referendum and declared independence. Is it just the English that have the right of self determination.

    4. They'll only concede one now if it's overwhelmingly obvious Scots want one and not allowing one would cause civil disobedience. They're not going to give it for the sake of a normal electoral cycle. There is a path to state hood for us but I cant see if on anything less than 50% of the vote in an election and basically all the seats in a Westminster election. Its not going to happen on 30 odd percent of the vote in an election.

      LOL - a 'referendum' that has zero legal standing and changes nothing. It's about as significant as if I declared myself King of the Scots.

  7. Possibly the most important story since and because of the joint Cardiff Declaration, is from the Herald:

    "Russia cites Scottish independence in United Nations"

    https://archive.is/jlZM9

    "Russia's foreign minister cited Scotland in a speech about the right to 'self-determination'."

    and one of the reasons is put by a comment below the line there:

    "Let's be controversial here. Scottish independence supported by Russia. Scotland becomes independent. Russia infiltrates Scottish politics and installs a puppet government. Faslane taken over by Russian Navy nuclear submarines, thereby dominating NATO. Russia invades Europe."

    A bit over the top, maybe, but in the old-fashioned cold war terms of "spheres of influence", that is something the West would not like to happen, and perhaps the best way for them to prevent even the remotest possibility of that happening would be - to recognise Scotland's right to self-determination themselves - and PDQ at that.

    A lot could happen before the next UK General Election. Interesting times.

    1. Russia installed a puppet government in the US and it doesn't seem to have allowed them to base their nukes there or to invade North America.

      Delete
    2. I fear US infiltration and domination much more than Russian.

      America is, without doubt, the most invasive, aggressive, belligerent, ruthless and most colonial country on this planet, outside Israel.

      Not Russia.

    3. Ridiculous post from anon at 9:50am!
      Presumably this clown has no problem with the tens of thousands, including many women and children, killed in the Ukraine war.
      You make a complete fool of yourself by saying the US is worse than Russia.
      What a plonker.

    7. OMG! RUSSIAN influence in Scotland! And I thought it was - in no particular order - England, the US and Israel who dominated when it came to foreign influences in Scottish politics and government.
      Anybody who falls for the war mongers propaganda that the RUSSIANS are seriously influencing Scottish politics wants their balls bounced.

    8. Who do you think is paying wee stewy

      Delete
    9. Campbell? I don't know if anybody's paying him, but if they are, I'd look to MAGA in the US (Farage is basically British MAGA and is v close to Trump and co) or possibly Israel as he has been genocide apologisining - maybe even JK Rowling or Elon Musk.

  8. Where are you getting the seat projection numbers from? YouGov didn't do any seat projection in the poll....?

  9. Labour are a british nationalist party. They will side with anyone other than the SNP or Pleid.

  10. More SNP Delusional thinking. They cant trust any toxic Brit Nat party.

  11. I think the suggestions was from James rather than a direct policy from the snp. Anyway it’s based on one poll of maybees ayes and maybe naws.

  12. James, it would be helpful if you published a link to the polls you're quoting from.
