The SNIP

[Colonel Bogey]

If they are sooooo wonderful and everyone likes their policies soooooo much, well the Remain one anyway, why don't they put up (or shut up) in the whole of the UK? Then the poison dwarf could then rule over us all and the Remainers would have a real party that has always wanted to Remain to vote for?

The clue is in the S of SNP...

It wouldn't stop them putting up candidates in the rest of the UK though?

Sure, you can form the chrisd party an go against them if you want

Not much appeal outside of Scotland though. Same reason Plaid don't stand outside of Wales. They don't aim to appeal to the whole of the UK, their target audience is very specific. Like them or not there is an honesty to it.

Why would they sit in England? What a bizzare thought process you must have. Though that said, "poison dwarf" for someone of average height probably sums you up, you complete fud.

 

[USER1999]

If they sat in more constituencies, they would have more MPs potentially, and could vote through independence for themselves.

Clearly wouldn't happen, because any danger of winning seats, the Westminster parties would have to admit the lie that Scotland is subsidised.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

If a party in England adopted the general political practice of the SNP I am absolutely certain that they would romp any election. (Ex independence of course )

Now this is what I was thinking. I don't like them or trust NS, BUT they have consistantly said the same thing over and over etc etc. This, I think, gives them some credability

What? Free stuff for all and we get some other mug to pay for it? Labour are behind in the Polls on that Mandate

I agree, free education for all, paid by the taxpayer is certainly popular.

As have the LibDems, especially in the 2017 election in which they got truly hammered.

The libs are called the Liberal Democrats, yet say they'll do all in their powers to remain in the EU.
Where does the 'Democrat' bit fit in, then?

After the liberal bit.

 

[Slime]

After the liberal bit.

No, that's merely where it's placed ................................ it just doesn't fit in, certainly with their Brexit stance.
The Liberal Hypocrites seems to fit better in that regard.

Surely they'd be the Illiberal Hypocrites.

Well they may hold quite a bit of away soon enough

Last time they held any "sway" they made a complete Horlicks of the opportunity...

But in the end they didn’t really hold any “sway” and were dead ducks in the coalition with them being screwed over by the Tories - bet they wish they could turn back the clock to 2010 and make a different turn
