It's ok. You're hurting because you've been exposed.

I posted 2 months ago that the conservatives would get "almost" 45% and the SNP would get 50 MPs.

If "exposed" is getting it more right that all the polls well...

The one you continually quote but fail to add this time for some unknown reason.

2011 SNP got 45.4% in the Holyrood election. 2016 46.5%. There is no trend.

I'll give Alex Salmond credit, he was a master politician, knew the Catholic vote was key and worked the church. Was aware that the unionist vote was key so never got too religious when the cameras were around. 3% reduction in copr tax, free prescriptions and free tertiary education.


So now Sturgeon has no "get out of jail" cards to play.

You were wrong.

Given your track record of "prediction" it's a dead cert.

You were wrong.

The only thing you can say about this election is minority parties will gain a record number of seats. That fragmentation is, ironically, seen across all of Europe

Did you use ML to get that?

Just without the humour.......and the good. he's got loads of smilies though.

Got a job lot at the Pound Shop...

Spuddy is the best of all the cretins. Good humoured rather than angry.

It's a hard call on here for who is the most irrelevant poster; most days Sarg Spuddy would get my vote, but then along comes Bean. Bean is just so strange a poster, constantly changing and deflecting as he struggles through a thread in an attempt to desperately gain any kind of advantage (which he never does).

I guess with posters like Bean and Spuddy, their whole tactic is to bore people from a thread and then claim they have won. They add little value to any thread so probably best to just ignore them and not get dragged into a pointless debate with them (says the bloke who got dragged into one with Spuddy the other day!! )

FFS Don't get him going again. Can't you see he's mad as a box of frogs?

Fake news!

Oh, and the SNP will be throwing themselves at TV cameras for weeks shouting about mandates.


1.6 million voted for independence in 2014.

1.45 million voted SNP in 2015

0.977 million voted SNP in 2017.

1.25 million voted SNP yesterday and they were up against Swinson and Corbyn.

The SNP are going backwards [forwards] and they know it. All their chat from now on is about keeping the supporters on side.

You win the Internet today. Well done. I think you said a majority of 60, which is pretty close as well.

[minestrone]

Tories will get about 45% of the vote.

Corbyn will get brutalised.

SNP will get 50 MPs and talk tulip about mandates for the next 5 years.
