269miles Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Why should that happen? DUP are pretty close to Conservatives in thinking. Much more so than the pathetic illiberal undemocratics. Maybe a DUP NI Secretary to be announced. That would get it right up the IRA loving Corbyn and McConnell. Perhaps not on Brexit though, but we'll see.

Jambof3tornado Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 And that should include all the people of Scotland. They've ignored the wishes of the majority of people here by looking for any excuse to push for another Indyref, if it wasn't Brexit it would be something else, of that there is no doubt. They said they would engage in dialogue with No voters, to take into account how they feel and how they could maybe sway them to vote Yes, they have done none of that, instead playing continuous grievance politics. They held a consultation last year into how people felt about another Indyref, but didn't like the results of it so it quietly disappeared, so suddenly it was no longer 'The will of the Scottish people', but 'The will of the Scottish Parliament'. They continually ride rougshod over the majority of people in Scotland, instead pandering to the very vocal minority. Hopefully this result will make them refocus and concentrate on more important matters, and maybe give Independence a rest for a bit. Good post.

jambos are go! Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The fact is that the SNP and its obsession with pushing for Independence against majority opinion has led to Scotland delivering almost certainly a Tory led UK Government. Take away the 13 Tory seats and a progressive alliance could have prevailed. Shades of them ushering in the Thatcher era by bringing down a Labour Government.

FWJ Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Accept a 21 seat loss for the SNP. Cant accept folk in Scotland voting for the risablle filth that is the Tories. Turkeys voting for Christmas. Labour winning those lost seats would be fair enough (did in East Lothian) but the only half decent news is that May is on a shoogly peg noo. Serious question PJ - I've always thought East Lothian would be natural Tory territory, but it seems to be a Labour / SNP marginal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the idiot Dugdale is to blame with her utterly stupid nudge-nudge wink-wink vote tory stop SNP campaign. SLAB could have snuck that (distant) 2nd place in Scotland if they were not rammed full of Blairite muppets like Dugdale. Chuck in the usual scum like the OO getting involved along with idiotic farmers and fishermen in the NE who mistakenly think that May wouldpass on the subsidies and concessions they currently get from Europe.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If it all goes pear shape for the May at Westminster, which is highly likely and another election is called then it could be even worse news for the SNP as I can see most seats in the central belt going back to Labour if there is a chance they could win.

Mikey1874 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 It will be interesting I think possibly the main positive is the high turnout of young voters.

JamboX2 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Will be bitter sweet when the Tories really kick in with scrapping human rights, spy charter, reduce civil liberties, privatisation, bigger tax cuts for their chums, sell your grannies house to pay for her treatment, more foreign wars to create even more refugees and even more austerity. Reap what you sow. Indeed. Reap what you sow could be the SNP campaign. After all, they have majorities in held seats cut back by quite a bit.

skinnybob72 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 So Cameron took us out of Europe with a needless referendum in order to prove how hard he was. May has blown her majority in an attempt to prove how strong and stable she is. In 7 years the Conservative Party have done the whole country up on the backs of self interest from two individuals, and they want another go. **** off and let the peoples party negotiate Brexit on the basis of job protection, a Europe wide trade agreement and a deal on labour movement. Cameron didn't want the UK to leave Europe, however there were significant numbers who did so he gave the people a vote - and they voted to leave. As he had effectively 'lost' Cameron resigned and his successor is leading us out of Europe. It's called democracy - you get a vote but you don't always get what you want. Meanwhile we had a vote on Independence which the SNP lost, however they are now using the Brexit result to have another bash at independence. Last night's results suggested - to me anyway - that a significant number of Scottish voters do not want Independence and have voted in numbers against the SNP.
