You mean Salmond? The ex-leader.

He's in Westminster already doing the job. He's well-known enough to get on the media and strongly supports her.

I didn't mean anyone in particular, Salmond certainly wouldn't be PM even in this fantasy scenario. I expect the SNP will have a smaller pool of names to pick from in any case come 9th June - the Indyref2 agitation will have seen to that.

Angus Robertson is the SNP leader at Westminster at the moment, not Salmond btw

Not really. She isn't an MP so won't be ending up as Prime Minister. However, i'm sure she could install a puppet who would in turn keep Corbyn and Farron in check.

Tories worried about backbenchers having too much power so want a smaller majority.

How about a tenner on Mrs Crankie? Labour / Lib Dem / SNP coalition with Sturgeon as PM to keep the Scots happy.

Stranger things have happened recently!!

No idea - maybe the SNP?

Would Labour try and use it to gain more votes???

No - Corbyn wouldn't do it because he doesn't think it's the right thing to do, Irrespective if it helps him win

[SueEllen]

Does anyone have a comparison between the who hold each seat in each constituency and which way those constiuencies voted in Brexit?

It doesn't work.

I'm in one of the parliamentary constituencies that is made up of parts of two different council areas. There are actually quite a few in London. This means while both boroughs voted to remain the percentages were different by about 10 percentage points.

Which party is going to stop Brexit?

[VectraMan]

or do you not vote based on brexit but based on which party you want in - whether they want to brexit or
not?

Because lets say you normally vote labour and labour are going to campaign to stop Brexit - do you therefore vote tory in the next election?

and vice versa?

A lot of the labour seats are in strong holds so unlikely to lose them. The tory seats are at risk from lib dems and labour - May will probably win but I don't think it will be the margin she wants and possibly even less than she has now.

I hope the latter.

I hope she gets a kicking like Zac Goldsmith, who also used Lyton Crossby, did.

13 years labour had and they failed to kill our businesses.

They sat back and allowed the FTV scheme and a supposed "skills shortage" drag rates through the floor though.

But I guess it is much less trendy to point things like that out, much better to just blame it all on the "nasty heartless Tories".

[sbakoola]

I rest my case m'lud...

BBC - Earth - Sheep are not stupid, and they are not helpless either

[vetran]

How many people did IR35 actually become a burden to, before the Tories started messing with it ?

Just because they were incompetent doesn't mean we have to prefer them to the Tories.

With self employment & Ltd use growing then they have to do something. Someone has to pay for gratuitous New Labour splurges.

[Whorty]

But no one has addressed the really important issue.....


What odds can I get on Corbyn being the next pm. Is it worth a tenner of my hard earned cash?
