I'll get my kit off if the Tories in Scotland get 50 seats. Loathe that shouty, no policy hag. Offers nothing to Scotland except embarrassment. Wish she'd get lost and get a seat doon there. 

[Whatever]

 Vote cast for Owen Thomson (SNP) ❎

[Jeff]

First time I've ever voted Labour

[Pans Jambo]

Looking forward to tomorrow to see what government England voted for us!

If you don't like cuts to public services in Scotland, you'll be voting for a party that will ensure we retain more of the economic wealth generated here then? 

Your maths are incorrect..  independence means tax rises and austerity  - it’s that simple. if I’m wrong point me in the direction of anything credible which suggests otherwise.. “Internet articles written by Indy fanatics don’t count”

 

The truth  is the SNP have never published one which, the reason is because it would destroyed like the 2014 one inside 5 minutes..

 

If there was an economic case the SNP would have made that case again and again and again because independence would be a home run.

 

they are no better than boris and co in this regards, happy to lie to the population to ensure they achieved Indy, at any cost!!

 

ive squandered my vote voting for the Lib Dem’s - the tories are liars happy to see us poorer after brexit, the SNP are fanatics who want Independence no matter the cost and no matter the lies they have to tell to secure it, labour are laughable and would bankrupt the country inside 5 years with their crazy spending policies.. I don’t massively like Jo Swinson - but the bar is low

How can the SNP tell us what our economy would be like? We don't know our finances as those idiots in WM won't tell us and I wonder why? It's all speculation and they wouldn't be in power after achieving self governance. WM has created a 2 trillion debt!

Does anyone know how it’s going

roxy - we know what the GDP of Scotland is, despite the technicalities of “who” signs the cheque we know what our spending is, it would be very simple to make assumption on how much we would save by removing Scotlands share of spending in the RUK and very easy to make some assumptions over the supposed growth we will see after independence.

 

the truth is in the short to medium term we’d see massive spending cuts and tax hikes.. 

 

that’s why the SNP will not present their view on the economic future of Scotland, even before the referendum in 2014 they produced it at the last minutes and it was torn to shred within about 2 hours because of the ludicrous assumptions it contained.. (all forgotten because we said no)

 

it would kill the independence movement overnight.  (Except for those who want self determination no matter the cost- I respect that even though I don’t agree with it)

Spending in Scotland is a a big part of the reason that debt exists.  You may not like it but it’s true

Same for me. Couldn't vote for any party led by Boris, couldn't vote for any party led by Jeremy C and although I believe Cherry will win my seat, she has done absolutely nothing for constituency and doesn't deserve my vote. Voted Lib Dem for first time as they seem like best of a bad bunch.

 

Have to say polling booth was busiest I have seen for a long while with steady queue before and after me.

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

My gut feeling is that labour will nick enough to have a go at a coalition. What about you dudes?

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

I voted green btw (in England)

Do you just listen to the SNP? I've read all sorts for and against. What cheques, what are our finances, what do the SNP know? I'm getting on a bit so I've had enough of the too poor stuff so I will take self governance and all its glory. I also respect your decision to feel differently it's just frustrating that we can't get the propaganda in our favour.

Nah.    Heavy chance of a Tory majority.  Slim chance of a hung parliament but enough for the Tories to buy the DUP again for a working majority.    Tories not being able to form a C&S government is a very long shot.

Think Boris will get his majority, 5-10 seats, its difficult to gauge / understand the mindset in leave constituencies when you live and work in one that voted 70% remain

The reason there is no propaganda On “our side”  is because there’s no substance..

 

if my family were going to be better off then I’d vote for independence 100%..
 

ive never see any evidence for that.. 

 

 

[Malinga the Swinga]

Much as I would settle for a hung Parliament, can't see anything beyond Conservative win with majority of about 25 to 30 seats. Would love to be wrong and see that smile wiped off Boris's ****ing smug fat face but reckon the English in North East are so desperate to 'Get Brexit Done' that they don't care about unemployment, they don't care about education or the downfall of the NHS, they believe that coming out of Europe will resolve all their problems and issues.

[Cade]

Economists can't tell you how much better off you'll be in three month's time never mind projecting something like Independence 20 years into the future ffs

 

The question is simply: Who do you trust more to make decisions that affect Scotland? Westminster or Holyrood?

 

 

[Victorian]

Scotland could be really important.    SNP exterminate the 13 and things get interesting.      Tories snaking in via Scottish seats = a ****ing nuclear option nightmare.   

[Shanks said no]

Houghton and Sunderland South likely to be first to declare around 11pm.

 

Labour will win it but their majority will give an indication what has happened to the brexit vote in the North East of England.

Keep your eye on Wales. Reckon Labour are in for it.

 

Choice is simple, no matter what the well of say. 

 

 

[Victorian]

Wales is a really funny wee world.    Proudly Welsh,  proudly patriotic,  proud of their language.    Reject Plaid.   Vote to be a region of England.   Vote to leave the EU but moan like **** about Wales being an afterthought of Brexit.     Some do want independence but Wales is 100 times as far away as Scotland from being independence sustainable.

 

Odd people.

They are coming, believe, the small towns, the countryside, the city's, the suburbs. From the high rise in the ghettos, from the homeless on the street's. People will come.

Candidate says surge of support could lead to a Labour win in South Swindon

[maroonlegions]

Billionaire right wing newspaper owners telling the poor that a man who cares is dangerous and they and  the few  like them who hoard their wealth  are the ones to be trusted. The biggest con in history.

The seat I work in. I'd be very surprised if it changed hands. It's certainly closer than Swindon North but both have been won by the Conservatives 3GEs running. Prior to that, Labour won both 3 GEs on the trot, all with Blair as PM.

Forgetting of course that after the first, it won't be virginity that is being offered any more. Unless they're planning to go for all ten at once.

Aye.

Hoping for the best but fearing the worst. I’m predicting a Tory majority of 27 😢.

Dunno if I'll stay up for the election results. The thought of they tory ****s getting another Majority with Boris at the helm depresses the shit out of me. 

 

The UK deserves everything that it gets if they vote for that prick. Hopefully the rest of the Scottish remainers grow a set and realiae how much of a ***** they made of it in 2014

Do you not think if people had known Cameron would announce a referendum in 2015, more would have voted for independence?  

[luckydug]

Sadly I think the Con party will get a majority of around 50+

Might be a blessing in disguise if Scots finally get the message that the only way we will get democracy is by getting Independence. 

Boris will destroy the Tory vote in Scotland in the same way Thatcher did. 

[redjambo]

The results of the imminent exit poll will probably determine if I stay up or not... If we're talking Tory landslide, I'm off to bed.

[Victorian]

Shit

[Shanks said no]

Tory landslide

[Sooperstar]

****ing hell.

[Malinga the Swinga]

That's it for me. Country is ****ed wit the most dishonest and treacherous PM the country has ever known winning a huge majority. Corbyn simply has to go with a predicted worst ever result.

 

[gjcc]

55 on the exit poll. Blindfolds ready folks. Ruth’s getting her dirty rat oot.*
 

 

 

 

*if it’s accurate of the true result.
