maroonlegions Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 There is absolutely no chance of Labour winning. It'd be a wasted vote. The best thing to do is vote SNP en masse which leaves Dugdale no option but to stand down thus bringing in a pro/sympathetic-independence supporter. May will then continue her march towards the reintroduction of fox hunting, abolition of human-rights, continued sanctions on the poor/disabled and then elderly. It will leave voters in Scotland with two options - independence or a lifetime of nasty Tories. Lesser of two evils, strategic voting. Could do a job.

maroonlegions Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Agreed. However, the difference in the polls translates to a massive majority for them, people in numbers will not vote for Corbyn. If a portion of Scotland votes for Labour rather than SNP to 'keep the Tories out', then it strengthens the union and provides Kezia (who is absolutely useless) impetus to carry on as leader. Scotland has been told to vote Labour for generations as the only way to 'keep the Tories out.' Never worked when we voted Labour en masse, they'll always get in on the back of English votes. Having a horrible Tory government in place with an absolute majority to do as they wish is what will provide independence. I have always held the notion that it will be Tories like May who could very well be responsible for the people of Scotland turning to the SNP and voting for independence to get away from vile Tory Draconian polices up here. There is still a general hatred of the Tories up here and if Scots do not see a strong and viable challenge to the Tories from Labour then they will vote for a party who are a strong and viable challenger. Oh the fecking irony for the Scots Tories up here if the above came to pass. Edited May 13, 2017 by maroonlegions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official OGA Reserves for the UK, based on audited analysis submitted from the Operators and used for fiscal projections are 6.2 billion boe. Link available to the detailed reserves tables if you want it Spacey, but you wont like the answer. Or more exactly, you wont understand it. The fiscal revenue to the Govt for 2016 was negative due to the low oil price and Companies writing off decommissioning costs against tax. The reason this panel is being set up is about 20 more fields have recently had cessation of production submissions sent to the OGA and the Govt need to do everything they can you avoid this or the 6.2 billion wont be achieved, hence the panel. WoodMac current forecast is about 5 billion now. The only way the Govt whether UK or Scottish can help the oil industry is even more tax breaks, but given the Govt are effectively subsidising the Industry at present then it will be unlikely. The UK Govt could afford to subsidise the Industry but the Scottish taxpayer in the case of Indy can't. So suck it up Spacey. From the perspective of oil Reserves your Indy dream is a complete crock of garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut doug Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Thank you for taking time out during a Hearts match to post a lengthy response that serves to reinforce the point I was making. And, again, the ORIGINAL question avoided. Are you a Hearts fan or just some cybernat infesting this Board? I did not compose this during the match. I composed it before the match and posted it 11 minutes in .I was disturbed as people arrived to see the match. I don't have to explain myself to you though, nor do I have to prove my Hearts supporting credentials. Nevertheless I will point out that I have been a Hearts supporter all my life. I do not have a second team. I reckon I have attended around 1,000 matches at Tynecastle and hundreds elsewhere. I spent at least some of my formative years in Gorgie. My family associations go back to at least the time of Bobby Walker and many members of my family are season ticket holders or regular attenders. I noticed previously that SM was challenged on the same basis. Do you have to think the same way as you do to be regarded as a PHM? I'm not infesting anything btw. Your turn of phrase is quite demeaning not just to me but to many I believe. I am entitled to my views and I am entitled to express them on here. It's not me who goes on about Nazis, Paedos, Tims and the like. I don't make up obvious lies and slurs to support my prejudices. All I do is challenge some of the misrepresentations made especially when I regard them as deliberate smears. I still haven't answered your question because I still don't know what you are referring to. I have pointed this out three times now. You still haven't explained why you put quotation marks around words that you claimed to be mine, when you knew I had not said them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who usually go down that road are either afraid or are hiding something that they know is unpopular in its content. Or they do not want to be held accountable , in her case the accountability of the 7 years of the polices of this present Tory government of which she was the home secretary. Was she responsible for failing to upgrade the security on NHS computers at the cost of saving ?5 million from the NHS in light of the recent cyber attacks?? She is running scared of any kind of open public debate outside prime-minister"s question time in the House of Commons. What or why is she so scared of in regards to an open public TV debate??

Same betrayal? As its a snap poll the parties generally rush pre-vetted persons into seats to contest them under the time constraints. Given the SNP are defending 54 seats there's less scope for it. But in Shetland their sole councillor, recently elected, is standing against Carmichael for the Orkney and Shetland seat and former MSP candidate for Edinburgh West Toni Giugliani is standing. Patrick Harvie is currently up for election in Glasgow North also. Done across all parties. Don't get your seethe and anger at all this.
