AlphonseCapone Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Now what will be interesting is what these Tories do with their new positions, will they actually make a difference to the people who elected them or will it be a case of the people getting their fingers burnt?

Boris Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Correct, but what is interesting is the seats they are winning eg Aberdeenshire/ Perthshire are target seats in the General Election. A fair point.

markphmfc Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 21 seats (as it stands) isn't a great sign. I expected some losses however I expected gains. This is a bit of a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 21 seats (as it stands) isn't a great sign. I expected some losses however I expected gains. This is a bit of a disaster. Swings and roundabouts. The overall share of vote will be interesting. I suspect the Tories to take a few in Edinburgh. Only two councils have changed hands though, one SNP and one Labour moving to NOC. There is a Tory vote out there, and despite what has been posted previously, the key driver is an anti snp protest vote. If it was a ringing endorsement of Tory policy, I'd be very surprised.

So not just a case of tories gaining labour voters So are you saying that no labour voters voted Tory in the seats lost by the SNP? Or even ranked the Tory higher than the SNP? Remmember the electoral system will have something to do with seat distribution, so to map exactly over to westminster (for example) may yield different results given FPTP, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course its not an endorsement of the Tories. Its a pummelling of the SNP. Once Indy gets booted out then, and only then, can we return to normal voting patterns. In the meantime everything is an IndyRef. The Council elections, and the GE in June. Its Indy thats overshadowing everything. Thanks Nicola Sturgeon.

ToadKiller Dog Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Lib dens seem to be going nowhere . Green not picking up as much as expected . It's not great for SNP but not that bad either much of a standing still in council terms .for a a party in charge it's not a major decline .did some of the Snp support sit on their hands Tory's have done well the only talk about independence tactic has worked well and got support out to their side but will see if that holds in the GE with a higher turnout and a Fptp system . Labour the biggest losers stupid campaign largely trying to out unionist the Tory party never going to win ,they should have attached the Tory party in policy or lack of . Interesting times . But this is a council election not a GE or holyrood it's easy to over read the results . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Ga Ga Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 SNP is down one seat overall A "Pummelling". The "end of independence" EH NO again. their currently down 17 seats and counting!

SNP and Labour should now concentrate of attacking this Tory governments policies of their time in government so far. They cannot let this general election become a battle of debate about independence and BREXIT . The Tories would love such a debate battle rather than be held accountable for their attacks on welfare and the NHS.
