General Election - December 12th, 2019

[lazerblue]

they've just won 48 seats, independence is a shoo in.

Not if the shoes are on the wrong feet, ask Diane Abbot

 

[The perfect fumble]

Smiths classic,i had you down as too old for them.......... ;0)

I'm feeling it today.

"We never win at home....

And we never win away"

 

[Chippy_boy]

You both have a track record.of getting it right all the time.............

Yes Fumble was spot on in mocking me saying Boris would trounce Labour and get a majority of 50.

He was spot on in saying the Tory vote could not possibly go up and that the only possible outcome was that they would lose votes to the BXP.

Ha, you think your average Scot will want to stick with us and the fucking shower of shit we've just put in power for the next 5 years?

If there is one party the Scottish don't trust it appears to be the Labour party, and SNP seats don't equate to independence at all.

 

[George Hannah]

In your moment of triumph you still fuck it up.

No triumphalism from me - the only consolation in this car crash result is that the British public have made it abundantly clear what they think of Corbyn/McDonnell/McCluskey and those misguided acolytes like you who supported him.

 

[blueparrot]

Yep. And a Tory England will help the cause. Question is does Sturgeon parly this into full independence or more devolved powers and greater autonomy and independence on a bit by bit approach.

If she doesn't feel she can win an independence vote I doubt she would go for it and use Johnson's refusal to grant one as an explantion to her supporters. What she will push for in that case would be to be treated equally with N. Ireland and want a bit of their feet in both camps deal.

I'm past caring if Scotland wants to commit economic and international suicide.

If it's good enough for us don't see why they shouldn't have a go too.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Do the Scottish people want independence or is it just a Queen Nicola thing?

In my opinion a united Ireland would make far more sense.

I’ve always thought Scotland would be independent before Ireland ever re-unites. Said it, well... decades ago.

I still think this is likely, but am not convinced still, that Scotland would go for it yet.
Depends on what Boris/Cummins does over the next year.

 

[Metal Biker]

If it's good enough for us don't see why they shouldn't have a go too.

Becuase they'd be leaving two unions.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I don't know think if we had a vote today it would narrowly be to stay. If we get a hard Brexit, which mays be less likely now, then we would vote for independence but it's still fairly even at the moment.

Give it a year. Not convinced it won’t be a hard Brexit yet.
See who takes real control in cabinet.
