Itv leaders debate.

Sooo, if the current % points remain the same come election time, Labour have a 0.6% advantage and maybe a lead of just a few seats. The lovely Nicola said that she would support Labour. Ergo a vote for the SNP is a vote for a Labour govt.

And back to the original question, why not just vote for Labour and give them a workable majority?

SNP are the "trendy" party with some factions of the Scottish electorate so they will take seats from Labour, if Labour don't get their act in gear then we may see a minority Tory government.

I think Sturgeon did more harm than good with her remark on a further referendum after the 2016 elections, "the people will decide"!!! Well Nicola the people did decide, the people said NO THANKS to independence so please put this independence talk away for a generation as was promised.

I'd agree with that first paragraph. Trendy in the same way the Greens used to be for some.

Second one is spot on too, I can't understand how she can't rule out a referendum on independence but would not support a referendum on EU membership.

I'll say it again, hypocrisy.



She'd be arguably as good a political operator (by that I mean just as sleekit) as Salmond was if she could curb her constant need to (as Jim Murphy so eloquently put it) start making a point 'and then go off on one'. I'm no fan of the woman, but that really makes me switch off. Learned behaviour from Salmond imo. The high pitched squawking does her no favours.

Still can't believe she said Labour would prefer a Tory Government, before Murphy jumped all over it and she stuttered and stammered her way around it. And, no, it wasn't a slip of the tongue. That's what she said. Clown of a woman.
 
And they're off again. Davidson and Sturgeon trying to shout over the top of each other (and everyone else).

UKIP representative not coming across well imo.

The chair is not very good either.

How many of these 'town hall meetings' are scheduled?
 
The Greens seem keen on turning off the oil tap asap.

They kept quiet on that front during the referendum debate when they and their snp bedfellows were banging on about £113 per barrel. Did they not?

Nice round of applause for the lady who tells Sturgeon she does not speak for all of Scotland. :thup:

The Greens, Harvie, making an arse of himself ruling out forming a coalition (red line issues) with this, that and the next thing, until it was pointed out he was ruling himself out of supporting any party that supports capitalism. Cue, much back tracking. :rofl:

And this, fellow Scots, is responsible for voting on decisions that affect your lives.
 
'Nicola, you've went from being deputy leader of the big yes campaign to being the leader of the mibbes aye, mibbes naw party'. Jim Murphy on Sturgeon refusing to rule out asking for another referendum. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hilarious, you'll get a few votes for that Jim :rofl:
 
The SNP have certainly opened up debate on Trident.

QT last night gave it quite an airing.
Quite sad to see Labour politicians strongly supporting WMD.
Trident is the 1914 equivalent of the cavalry.

Debate, what debate is that then? Oh! "We want to scrap Trident" :blah:


More of a point worth debating is all this "English Oil" that we have found, could be three times the amount taken from the North Sea under the Weald. Guess the SNP will see it as reason to send more English Bucks over the boarder.

While Farage appears to have done a pretty good job of removing the potential embarrassing faux-pas candidates/members - his 'extremist, nasty or barmy' purge - it seems he wasn't totally successful - a UKIP Councillor (who had defected from the Tories)recently blamed the floods in Henley on (presumably God's wrath at) the passage of gay marriage law.

As proving anything that 'hasn't been flushed out' is impossible - at least until it has been flushed out! - applying the metrics for Quality/Faults (N have been discovered (recently), that would imply there are about M still to be discovered) would indicate, to me at least, that there are a couple of embarrassing ones still in there. Whether they are found/reveal themselves before May 7 is the question. I'm pretty certain that there will be journalists ready to pounce on any faux-pas, or even actively tracking them down!

Well, it seems there's still work to do on the 'flushing out' front! http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ukip-candidates-secret-life-porn-5483805
 
I briefly read something on this earlier today. I have to say I see no problem in him being a 'porn star'. Good luck to the guy if that's how he earns/earned a living.

Having a big 'wullie' (hes a porn star so that's an assumption) shouldn't negate your ability to falsify expenses and abuse your office (should he be successfull).


After all Salmond ran a country/big coonsil and he's a big knob! ;)
 
My old chum Benjamin Franklin once agreed with me when I told him insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting it to come out different, so why does The Labour party insist on attacking The SNP when the net result is an increase in support for The SNP?

You seriously have to consider their ability to Govern with such blatant inability to canvass.
