Let the chaos begin.

Good riddance.

Haven't a clue who to vote for up here at next election time. Usually between SNP and Labour, last few times been SNP but their policies almost seem intent on reducing their share of the vote and right now Labour aren't a viable alternative. It'll never be Tory is all I know. Utter shambles atm and Humza is a total clown who was never fit to lead the country.

 

[Metal Biker]

I'll applaud if he announces it. Another politician who let the power go to his head and thought his word was law.

Pretty much the same, in a Scottish election I’d probably vote for the SNP constituency vote and Green, if they had any regional list candidates. Probably still SNP in a UK election - anything to avoid either Labour or Conservative having a large majority.

Can't bring myself to put a tick next to anything linked with Patrick Harvie or particularly Ross Greer's name.

Politics are a mess. If Labour stuck to their roots on the 2014 indy campaign rather than shifting to the right in a shameless vote grab, they'd be absolutely cruising it by this point.

Alba party? Honestly, fuck knows.

 

[blueinsa]

Officially quit.

I still think we will see a vote of no confidence in the government as well this week. Whether it’s successful or not I’m not sure.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I’d gladly support Welsh Independence too but we couldn’t survive on our own.

 

[BlueAnorak]

How a party can destroy itself.
The SNPs actions over the last 3 years are a classic example of what not to do.
More importanly, will the Greens support the SNP in the upcoming Labour vote of confidence?

 

[Gray]

Pity they did not get independency.

They would be complete morons to push it to an election. The stupidest possible thing they can do. If they fall for the opportunist Labour power grab effort, they could lose the few seats they have, they can't possibly be that daft.

Same goes for the tories pushing for an election they will lose seats in.

True. But the main perception is the greens hold the balance of power. The tories you would expect to do anything to get one over on the snp even if it means their own losses. But you are right of course.

Labour are the only ones that stand to hain anything, hence they are pushing it, self-interest and nothing more.

Good, he's a ****

You live in Liverpool?

 

[blueparrot]

Good, he's a ****

Based on what? I don't think he's been the best leader,I don't think he made the best decisions. I've seen nothing to suggest he hasn't done his best, meant well,or to suggest he's a ****.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

I remember waiting for Labour to do something about Brexit. Still waiting.

Very few people actually care about the Union. They support it because it’s there.
I genuinely don’t understand why Scottish independence gets so many English hot under the collar. After all all that subsidy would stop. Can’t be the hassle of borders, after all they voted for that in Europe. Problems with trade. Ditto. Maybe it’s down to just good old imperialistic ‘your ours’. Maybe some could explain.

I wouldnt says it hot under the collar and certainly nothing to do with imperialism (wishful thinking there?)

Maybe it's because we (England) are always made to play second fiddle to the other nations by our esteemed politicians, always the least money spent and worst representation with no say on whether we would want to be separate from Scotland. Just a thought?

Lol. Love it.

Surprised no one has started the ENP yet.

They do have the EDL to be fair.
