Labour and the SNP

[Hobbit]

On BBC news this evening, the Scots moaning that they didn't vote for the Tories!

Well, get this! - we didn't vote for the SNP!!

And many didn't vote Labour or Libs and the Greens and P Cymru... we're in a democracy but the SNP obviously don't subscribe to that, prefering to ignore the will of their own people who didn't vote for independence.... and still rattling on and on about independence. At best, a broken record.

And plenty of Scots didn't as well, that's the thing about UK (and other) elections, not everyone gets what they want.
Don't rise to their bait, that's what they get off on you know, division, don't help them achieve their aims. :thup:

Our Alex and Nicola have very short memories - didn't they lose their referendum?

Why didn't they both feel obliged to resign?

One of them did tbf...........knowing full well he'd most probably be a shoe in for another wee stint at Westminster mind you.

The fat poultice has done ok for himself with his divisive, sabre rattling nonsense. Lego heid will no doubt follow suit.

Why was he an idiot?

charismatic, no.
leader of a party, no.
Leader of a country, no.
believable, no.
best leader of the Labour Party leading up to the election, no.

only he and the blinkered unions who thought they could manipulate him thought that he was the best for the job. Bet you diamonds the unions try it again

So how does that make him an idiot?

only he and the blinkered unions who thought they could manipulate him thought that he was the best for the job. Bet you diamonds the unions try it again

(and the 9+ million people that voted for him)

Yup instead of the 20 million they needed to form a government.

dont think they voted for HIM they would have been voting for the PARTY,like most LABOUR voters they are like sheep put a red rosette on a turnip up here in the north and it would win.

I thought David Starkey's comment last week about the SNP was erm, interesting

Does anyone take any notice of what Starkey says ? The man is a total fool.

Interesting that the folk shouting democracy were not so keen on it when it looked like the SNP may have had a deciding vote at Wastemonster.

Re the refurbishment of Westminster, is it true that Carmichael will be responsible for the leaks.

 

[MegaSteve]

I would have thought that doing a deal with the SNP would be a major plus for any new Labour leader.
The alternative seems to be 20 years of Tory government and a break up of the Union.

Lot of support for Labour in London...

And they [Labour] should think long and hard about doing a deal with a party who's former leader has declared "Londoners need to be punished"...

He's hardly a fool.

Lol -

A party with 51 seats should have a deciding vote in Westminster??? You obviously wouldn't recognise a true democracy if it drove towards you in a big red bus with its lights on and horn blaring.

Crack on Doon, great entertainment as usual...:thup:

By 51 if you mean the SNP then they have 56 seats in Westminster - but I guess that means they also have 51.

Would this be the same as the democracy that the SNP are not so keen on after losing the independence referendum and now keep saying that maybe it won't be a once in a generation thing and maybe they'll give it another go in a couple of years?

Wow! I'm impressed. Perhaps I could give you another hair to split.

That aside, your point is?

Just correcting your typo.

A lot has happened in Scotland since the referendum vote, maybe you missed that.
'Most dangerous woman in Britain', pre election leaks outed etc.
