Scottish Politics / Independence - Vol 12

[Mercdriver]

[Roderick Spode]

Only awake a couple of hours, bit of a fuzzy head... my policy of one SNP loss = one nip had to be abandoned after the first dozen or so, in the interests of my health and wellbeing.


Anyway, a further synopsis of the SNP financial strife... can't wait. Hope they are utterly bankrupted.


The most welcome list of the day for me - all the useless nodding donkeys who will no longer be hoovering up expenses and wages from the public purse. A few notable highlights but all very pleasing.

A party so hard up that despite their Short money and big salaries and big indy supporters on public payroll they are reduced to crowdfunding to pay to get leaflets printed.

What do you expect financially inept with Scotlands money, why would they be better with their own money?

Well, while you, my fellow Scots are celebrating the demise of the Nasty Party, please have some sympathy for this exile in W Yorkshire.

Labour are the party of the moment in the majority of locations. Here, our last MP was Labour as has been the case for many years. So a Labour victory is a given you might think. The Asian population is around 38-40% of the area, Dewsbury and Batley.

Here are my results:



So a 41% vote for an Independent who has come from nowhere. Labour vote drops by 36%. The rest of the votes seem to mirror most other constituencies. Just a little curious given the national result and the last local elections were tainted by missing postal votes and voter fraud plus the same in parliamentary elections, which has existed here for a long time.

Plus the leader of our council had to resign for lying and a Labour councillor was sent to prison:

"Clr Pandor's resignation comes just a week after his judgment was called into question at a full meeting of the council. It was alleged he “wilfully misled” the council over the suspension of Batley East Labour councillor Fazila Loonat, who was jailed this month for lying over a speeding ticket.27 Jul 2023"

Enjoy your 'freedum' up there as I fear more of the same ste down here.

Given how a similar independent almost won is Jess Phillips seat going by the same anti gaza war shtick, then when didn't win, her followers loudly good and chanted stopping jess Phillips winning speech.

I winder if the likes of GCHQ will keep an eye on these candidates and that new MP.

Livers at the ready.
It sounds like the SNP are not winning the last outstanding constituency.

The infighting starts. Swinney support for expenses cheat blamed for loss of Falkirk. Who knew? using your power as FM to try and protect your friends from justice loses votes.

Do tell. I can't see anything in the news.

Thought the counting was not restarting until tomorrow?

I've been soaking this up all day...it's wonderful, this evening some nice cold liquid refreshment to top it all off.

I can't wait for the next FM questions...the Tories are gone, Westminster is empty, will we see the first attack on the new incoming Labour government, someone has to get the blame for the SNP's catastrophic election result.

While on the subject of loosers has anyone heard anything from our old mate Dumza...was he sidelined for the election.

And let's finish up with a bit of entertainment "Its not my fault" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvMQ1FnkESA&ab...

There is this. Libdem officials think they have won. Keeping the Scot Nasties to single figures would be outstanding.

I think she actually believes every word that comes out of her mouth.

Perusing some of the Twitter echo chambers is always good sport. Apparently the loss of 38/39 MPs actually strengthens the cause of independence, despite there being zero swing to Alba or ISP, and if the Yoons disagree then they simply march & take Holyrood by force

It shows the exact problem

The SNP now will totally fall apart as panic sets in about the Scottish election and the possibilities that will bring of them being out of power and off the gravy train.

Every argument the SNP brings up now about Westminster and UK policy can be countered by Labour easily because of this result and the SNP will no know where to go what to do or who to take them there...

More importantly where will they sit with over 400 Labour MPs?

I almost expect the SNP to splinter into several different factions.

Now that Labour are 'those gits at Westminster', the SNP can rebuild as the only alternative?

The SNP may have self destructed, but whining-jock special-case-ism is alive and well and looking for an outlet.

That was a trully wonderful interview with Cherry, and as always Nippy failed to pick up on the real reasons Independence is floundering, yet again blaming it on Westminster. She really is a disgrace, and why ITV thought it appropriate to have her on the show in the first place is questionable at best.
