Scottish Politics / Independence - Vol 12

[Klippie]

Tactical vote cast this evening...at 7pm the polling station was very busy, good to see actually, people out using their right to vote.

Now the wait begins...I've got everything crossed the SNP get a tanking.

Sadly I’m a morning lark that gets ~9 hours sleep a night. So I’ll have no idea until 7am.

I would normally stay up till 5/6am on an election night but unfortunately I need to be in the centre of Edinburgh by 8.30am tomorrow to pick up a hire van so I doubt I will make it past 2/3am. I really, really hope I wake up to the SNP on less than the predicted 19 seats.

Overheard on a tram in Edinburgh today:

Are you voting?
Naw fk that, they’re aw fannies
Aye me neither
I was always Labour but Starmer is a fanny. Can’t vote SNP cause of sturgeon stealing all that money. Lib Dem are even bigger Fannies. Green are tree huggers. Reform is ok but they’re just for England so I cannae be arsed.

Verbatim.

A more educated class of ned in auld reekie.

Tells you something about the man on the street though.

I'll echo the comments about it being really busy at polling stations, could barely get parked, had to queue when I was inside. Good to see, and hopefully it'll knock the SNP into oblivion.

Well the deed is done... tactical vote in Glenrothes to prevent Pedro Grunt's cooncil buddy from replacing him as the SNP incumbent. The Liebore candidate doesn't seem much better, but I'd return a pot of petunias as MP in preference to an SNP cult drone. Meanwhile, the petunias would think "oh no, not again..."

I have a very pleasant bottle of malt on standby to toast every seat the SNP lose... one loss = one nip. There's 28 nips in a standard bottle, I'm hoping that I'll have run out of whisky by 7am and be exceedingly inebriated.

I thought it was 20, so I bought 2 bottles. Better safe than sorry.

You could have a double if any SNP candidates lose their deposit...

[Roderick Spode]

Right ladies and gents, in preparation for the closing of the ballots and the start of the counts, eyes down for a full house of lost SNP seats...

Username checks out.

[hidetheelephants]

Wow, that'll be a fker of a result if that transpires.

[hiccy18]

Bigger loss for the SNP than even the Tories, how big of a protest vote is that?

[Silverbullet767]

If the SNP get less than 10. I can see me streaking in the street, tie around my head glugging a bottle of whisky.

Angus Robertson what a .

Exit poll wipes you out oh it's clearly a vote that people are fed up with the tories.

fk off you prize tit.

I’ve just switched from BBC Scotland to iPlayer. I can’t spend the next few hours watching him drivel on about the Tories. You have potentially just lost 38 seats….this isn’t a verdict of the Tories in Scotland, it’s a verdict on the SNP.

[Ecosseven]

I'll delighted if the SNP get 10 seats or less, however many seats in Scotland are on a knife edge and could go either way. It's possible the SNP may get a lot more than the 10 seats forecast although hopefully no more than 20. It's still a good kicking. thankfully.

If they are down to 10 Swinney must go?

Arran and Wensleydale.

I’m about to go to bed. Refuse to watch any of the coverage. Possibly the most pointless tv broadcast, especially before any results.

Here’s hoping for the obvious.

[Essarell]

Blackford blaming the Tory’s

[hidetheelephants]

Sturgeon has a right torn face on her.
