| 41. Author: pacifist Date: Sat 4th Oct 2025. 14:49 If you want independence SNP 1 and 2 is the most logical way to vote. It covers all the options. If the party loses a fptp seat, the lost seat can be replaced with a strong list vote. The opinion polls have given the SNP 63 seats and 66 seats. It was an SNP majority in 2011 that led to the referendum in 2014. Salmond and Cameron signed the Edinburgh agreement. So, if the SNP can win another SNP majority the pressure is on a weak labour government not to refuse another referendum. The unionist vote will be all over the place with the arrival of reform. Multi parties scrambling over the same votes. Reply |

Why do you think the supporting electorate has abandoned them , could it be because they`re constantly lied to ? What`s their fallback position? A little blog below explains why the SNP will win the constituency vote and what the outcome will be if the SNP vote transfers over to the list also. Now most SNP supporters hate WOS but below is the facts and that`s not going to change. What`s going to happen next year is the SNP will have to go into coalition once again with the Greens so nothing changes with more devolution and no interest in independence. It`s sad to say but it`s all about personal gain at the least effort. Ans don`t forget the destruction caused with this combo before, ships, bottle banks, and men becoming women.

A decade of them fucking the economy even further couldn`t be tolerated. There`s also little point in the SNP at Westminster. You could have every Scottish MP in Scotland and SNP one and it wouldn`t make any difference to how the country performs. Holyrood is different. A minority SNP government will always be borked by divisive Labour and Lib Dem MSPs. It`s been going on for years where those idiots push for pointless changes to bills. Thank God Jackie Baillie is going as she`s one of the main ones who will needlessly object. Reply |

Mags Hall would be an excellent local representative but Slater and Harvie did a lot of damage by being perceived to be obsessed with gender politics rather than actual green issues. The Bute House agreement also felt too much in favour of the Greens. Reply |

It`s hard to reflect over what has happened to the SNP over the last 10 years, membership trashed, and policies which has split the independence movement .Another 10 years of devolution while the country burns.
