See I told you they were the new champagne socialists.

Sadly their budget only runs to Cava....

New levels today.

Well someone has to come up with mad left wing policies while Labour gave gone all communist.

An absolute spanner who incredibly reaches new levels of spannerism every time I see him on TV.

They have 8 elected MPs one of whom is in Scotland.

8? Sounds more like a flatshare than a political party...

Actually I was thinking I didn't know Siberia had a cricket team.

Australia don't have one either, but don't tell them...

[SueEllen]

And Siberia is closer than Australia, but which do we celebrate more when we beat them at cricket? I know what you're thinking, ridiculous post, but no more ridiculous than yours.

What's the problem?

I've heard both views from different people.

Also Edinburgh is far nearer the NE of England than London.

How good of you to speak for an entire nation. I'm sure you have the research to back up all of your claims about how all English people feel.

Or are you pulling "facts" out of your arse?

That does tend to be the way things are done around here...

I can sort of see an argument whereby "some" English voters might be tempted to vote SNP if it meant getting rid of the whining Jock types permanently (i.e. through indyref 2,3 or whatever). Other than that, the SNP have no relevance in England, and they know it.

And the SNP are seen as being more authentically left than Labour, or at least the PLP.

The SNP are NOT hated. The English generally like the Scots and respect their patriotism and desire for independence. A feeling which is not reciprocated by the Scots to the English. Some people dislike the SNP for sticking their oar in "England's business" but they are the people who actually pay attention to the news i.e. a small minority

They may well be "upset" but they'd have to be seriously unhinged to vote SNP.

More so than to vote UKIP? More so than to vote Leave in protest?

SNP (the nationalistic part aside) comes across as being far more authentic and grounded than the PLP. For that matter, most of the Scottish political leaders seem better than ours.

[Mordac]

They are quite popular and Sturgeon is well respected; both in particular by Corbyn fans. As an alternative to Labour when then cheat Corbyn out of his leadership, SNP could do well - the NE in particular will be VERY upset if JC gets pushed out and will be looking for a protest vote.
