The total votes of all those that have voted and will on Thursday again vote for Unionist parties have exceeded and will again exceed the total pro Indy vote.
So the minority can march their erses off all they like….


And has been well documented c 30% Labour, 12% Lib Dem and 8% Tory voters in Scotland are in favour of independence, that’s why the polls are still showing c50% in favour. Not quite as black and white as you make out.

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Good point, never really thought of that...let`s face it when we`re independent we`ll still have rebranded Unionist parties but no Indy parties.
The present mantra of let`s rid Scotland of the Tories is pure nonsense as Scotland has no say in the English Parliament vote.

I always thought the celebrated psephologist, Sir John Curtice, only commented on polls and kept clear of policy but tonight on Newsnight he was quite critical of the lack of detail in Labour`s economic plan. He was getting quite animated in a discussion with Harriet Harman.


I took his reaction as showing how annoyed he is about the way that politicians are treating the electorate just now. I`m far from happy with the way Labour have positioned themselves but getting the Tories out is priority #1 in my seat.

Starmer better not mess it up.

What`s the background on the Reform candidate for Dunfermline and Dollar? Suggests he lives in Cowdenbeath but he`s got what looks like a Dutch name and appears to be from England? Has he been helicoptered in to cover the seat or is he a genuine local? I`ll be disappointed if Fife is getting yet another faux-Fifer* put up for election.

Sounds like another one of those bl00dy immigrants, coming over here, trying to steal our MPs jobs. If only there was a Political Party that could stamp out their likes, and make Britain Great again, they`d have my vote I tell thee

It`s a bit ironic, isn`t it? It could be he`s new to the area but there`s so little info on him and all the references seem to suggest he was in England until very recently. Nothing wrong with that if he`s just moved up and wants to play his part in the community but the cynic in me thinks he`s not actually local.

Apparently Glasgow North is the same. Complete randomer and they can`t find anything about her.

I could see the controversy if it were a high profile politician parachuted into a safe seat.

But someone that nobody’s heard of in a seat they can’t win? I can’t see the problem.

Don`t think the SNP candidate in Dunfermline and Dollar is a local . Might be wrong of course.

He`s the local councillor and pretty sure he was involved in the Royal Bengal. But apart from that...

Well the Tories have tried that with a certain Mr D Ross and looks like it will back fire massively 😂

Latest poll, Swinney just 5 MPs short of the amount needed to go into negotiations with our masters.
