General Election Thread 2015

A massive part of the swing to SNP came post-referendum, when a lot of people realised how stupid they'd been to believe the (particularly labour) promises. If the referendum was held again tomorrow, it would be a 'Yes' landslide.

Totally agree lol

So how come Scots don't want independence but nearly all want the independence party in Westminster? Makes no sense.

Baffling isn't it. I blame the suffragettes.

I don't actually, I blame the Tories and labour for complacency.

If the conservatives get anywhere near that then I will be happy.

I knew they would do better than expected but not counting chickens yet.

conservatives > labour + SNP

is really what I want. I'll settle for that.

I actually doubt that, the economic case has been fooked considerably, a fairly easy argument now.

Anyways, not about that tonight.

This. If I had a compelling alternative, I'd vote for it.

Economics be damned, a yes result on a fresh referendum will come within the next 10yrs IMHO.
