| 2. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 19:29 Horrendous news as that means that Sunak has been tipped off by the Illuminati that they have decided it is the turn of England to win the Euros and the Prime Minister has decided to cash in on the euphoria that will generate. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 3. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 19:33 On another note though my respect for Swinney has just taken a nose dive after hearing him mumping about how this shows utter contempt for Scotland as it`s taking place during the school summer holidays!

| 5. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 19:53 What`s the argument against it happening during school holidays? And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |

| 7. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 19:56 It was a bit pathetic that they could even organise some sort of canopy or , you know, announce it indoors. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |

| 9. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 20:14 I`ll be on holiday then as well so I`ll have to apply for a postal vote. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 10. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 20:38 If he`s hoping to cash in on English success at the Euros he has miscalculated. The quarter finals start on 5 July. Reply |

| 14. Author: DBP Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 22:47 It’s not the done thing - parents on holiday, volunteers on holiday or with childcare responsibilities and the majority of voters, aka holiday makers in Scotland, take advantage of cheaper prices to get away during that time before the English schools break up So a bit rubbish really as many will miss debates, information, interviews and likely even the polling day itself There would be cries of foul play if it was scheduled for the English school holidays, evident by the fact that they hasn’t been done in about 80 years Post Edited (Wed 22 May 22:49) Reply |
| 15. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 23:14 I wonder if anyone mentioned to Sunak that the proposed date clashed with the Scottish school holidays? Reply |
| 16. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 23:22 But it also means schools can be used as polling stations without disrupting the kids’ education. The SNP literally asked for a summer election at PMQs, so it’s not a good look for Swinney to whinge about it. Reply |
| 17. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 22nd May 2024. 23:41 You could have a summer election without it clashing with the school holidays in either England or Scotland. Reply |

Yeah, but it’d have to be in June then, and it’s too late for that. You need about 5 weeks notice I think. Reply |
| 19. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 23rd May 2024. 00:54 You could have it in early September after the English schools go back. I see tonight some Tory MPs are so incensed by the decision they`re thinking of getting Sunak dismissed so Parliament can`t be dissolved in time for a 4 July election. Reply |
| 20. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 23rd May 2024. 05:32 Tad Allagash, Wed 22 May 23:22 Schools used to be used all the time for elections, a single Thursday closure wouldnt affect any kid in the slightest and would also educate them to why voting is important (despite politics being a scam). This will just open up the way for conspiracy theorists again when the Tories get demolished as a “its vote rigging as Scotland all used postal votes” etc. as surely if you have a holiday booked you may apply for this process.
