Caledonian Craig Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think the local elections a couple of weeks ago are a good indication of what will happen in the general election. The SNP vote share will hold firm though may lose around five seats. The mainstream media will jizz off swearing the Tories are on the march when in all reality all that will have happened is that the yoons are voting tactically throwing more votes behind Tories so whereas Labour and Tory used to cut each others throats taking votes off each other that will be less of the case this time.

ErsatzThistle Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 2 minutes ago, Ally Bongo said: Latest from ringpiece McDougall I really want to fückin beat that smug, arrogant cünt McDougall so much. Kirsten Oswald is the most progressive MP East Renfrewshire has ever had. She's stood up for pensions, the welfare state, constituents in trouble abroad and has voted against replacing WMDs and airstrikes in Syria. I'm quietly confident she'll get most of the working class vote in Barrhead anyway. Murphy wasn't the only right wing zoomer we've had in East Ren as MP. Some may remember the recently deceased Allan Stewart (MP for here between 1979-1997) who once attacked some tree huggers with a pick axe and had to be restrained by the police. And further back there was Betty Harvie Anderson (MP between 1959-1979) who was one of the most determined Scottish Tory voices in the House of Commons against any form of devolution such was her contempt for her country.

I don't think that's an outlier as other polls are showing a similar movement, Corbyn is obviously a long way back but in a lot of ways, he doesn't have to win to win. May called this election with the expectation she would increase her majority - and in fact was looking like a landslide. If she doesn't significantly improve on the 2015 result then calling this election backfires on her. She'll probably still be PM and will have a majority but she's played her ace card and been trumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The cynic in me believes that after the bad press the Tories are getting after their manifesto they need people to believe there is a real chance of a "coalition of chaos" to shore up their vote Lets have some polls showing it's possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seeing as so far it's been presidential for May with a nasty manifesto, can't see how they can turn it around if people flood back to labour.

The Tories (and their pet press) have relied on the message that Corbyn is useless and unelectable. Anything that weakens that narrative is (on the whole) not good for them.

EddardStark Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 2m registered to vote since election was called. 150k since the Tory Manifesto was announced. The highest proportion registering are those classed a young people. I think Labour and Corbyn have run a great campaign and hopefully it can at least reduce the apocalyptic forecasts.

Glad folk on here starting to warm to Corbyn. Please don't equate ScotLab branch office with the real thing. Look at the size of JC's rallies; when was the last time you saw people of that number show up for political rallies? How many does the supposedly popular May turn out?
