Again, it showcases the ridiculous nature of British politics and how tribal it is. The SNP in Scotland is essentially the only thing that can stop Conservative creep in this election, yet you have the others all screaming about this. Now, fair enough for the Tories to do so. Labour, on the other hand, whine because they feel entitled to Scotland, despite basically ignoring it for years. The Lib Dems are in some ways even worse, with Farron admitting that 99% of the SNP manifesto is fine, but they want to destroy the UK! (Never mind that Lib Dem policy for years has been federalism, which the SNP would likely readily have accepted as a compromise in a non-stupid-Brexit scenario.)
Argh.
Quote from: Modern Panther on 08 June, 2017, 01:43:18 PMunfortunately any decrease in SNP support will be used by the Tories as evidence of less support for independence even tho' the mandate was there at the last scottish electionQuoteNot if you live in Scotland it isn't. There's a whole independence subtext
Whilst the Labour and Ruth Davidson Parties are selling the election as "vote for us, or Nicola will insist on referenda every three weeks until she wins", the truth is independence has pretty much nothing to do with this election.
The SNP won all but three seats in Scotland in the last GE, and the Scottish Parliament voted in favour of a second referendum being held - and the government at Westminster ignored it. It's not like the SNP winning every seat in Scotland will make any difference as to whether or not the PM decides Scotland should get another vote. It's simply that the Labour party in Scotland have not a single policy they stand behind, and the Tories in Scotland have only one issue - to disagree with everything the SNP say.
