| 62. Author: Socks Date: Tue 28th May 2024. 23:14 Going back to the timing of the election, it really is a bad time to hold it in Scotland and one aspect that might not be considered is finding enough people to staff it. From what I heard, it was a struggle to get enough people in Fife last time in 2022. The nature of this one, where nobody had any idea until last week, combined with it being held at the time when most people will be unavailable, means that staffing will surely be harder than normal. If you`ve ever thought it might be interesting to be involved in it, it would probably be a good time to contact the elections office at your local council. A 16.5 hour day might not seem very appealling, but I`ve done it the last few times and quite enjoyed it. Reply |

| 65. Author: Wotsit Date: Sat 1st Jun 2024. 07:45 The changing direction of Scottish politics since devolution never ceases to amaze me. 1990s me would never have imagined a Tory defending the current Labour leader in an attempt to have a dig at the SNP. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |

| 67. Author: DBP Date: Sat 1st Jun 2024. 11:31 Because you can hardly get a cigarette paper between Tory and Labour threes days! I’m over in Ireland just now and dipping in and out of the north (in the border area) and it’s just dawned on me, could you imagine telling some young man from a nationalist area that he had to join the British army!

| 68. Author: Wotsit Date: Sat 1st Jun 2024. 12:49 Lots of Irish nationalists joined the British army back in the day, then left after basic training. The assumption with training young men to fight is that they will then choose fight for your side.... The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 69. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 1st Jun 2024. 16:31 DPB, fortunately they will have the option (actually they won`t as Labour will win the election) to instead of spending a year getting military training they can spend a dozen hours or so a month helping out in community health care settings. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |

| 73. Author: Tenruh Date: Mon 3rd Jun 2024. 22:28 Anyone prepared to predict how many seats our glorious SNP will win on 4th July? I`ll guess 15 but will be happier if they get less.

| 75. Author: Tenruh Date: Mon 3rd Jun 2024. 22:41 Dave_1885, Mon 3 Jun 22:30 You`re not paying attention if you think the SNP are a pro Indy party.....give me an example of what the SNP MPs have done in 10 years to advance independence. Think of the man hours alone they`ve spent down there what have they achieved.. Reply |

| 78. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 4th Jun 2024. 00:13 Has there ever been a political party that hasn`t broken a `promise`? Most of them are aspirations rather than promises and quite often they are not deliverable. Reply |
