Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent. -
Stop The Willy Waving
Let me give you a flavour of the political transformation the Green party seeks. There would be no prime minister of the kind we have today, no secretaries of state. Instead, parliament would elect policy committees which in turn would appoint convenors. It would also elect a first minister, to chair the convenors’ committee. Parliament, in other words, would be sovereign rather than subject to the royal prerogative that prime ministers abuse. Leaders would be elected by the whole parliament, and its various political parties would be obliged to work together rather than engage in perennial willy-waving.Comment

Polls were conducted in 16 constituencies with over 1,000 people in each one.
The swing from Labour to the SNP across Labour-held seats is 25 per cent, which means majorities of up to 50 per cent could be overturned in May. If we apply that across Scotland, May2015 estimates that the SNP would win 56 of Scotland's 59 seats.

For what it is worth the polls suggest there will be a massive drop in conservative voters in Scotland, I just don't see that ever being the case. The Conservative voters in Scotland not they have been whittled down to the last stand mob like myself are very loyal, I can't see any drop whatsoever in conservative vote numbers from the last GE to this.
It has been agreed that only a 3% swing to labour will reduce the SNP seats to 20. I see that as a more realistic number they can get.Comment

I just love your ****ed up mind though where you want the Torys to win the election but Labour to win as much as possible in Scotland. Like being a provo unionist. It doesn't add up.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment
