tartandon Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 If Scotland did get more control of the BBC north of the border, I'd bloody commercialise it. Do away with the pretence of impartiality. Scrap the indirect tax that is the licence fee. Do any other countries levy a tv licence fee on their citizens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I would be surprised if snp dont take kirkcaldy/cowdenbeath from the red tories as the support in this area for nicola`s troops is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 http://election.pressassociation.com/Declaration_times/general_2015_by_name.php I expect that quite a few of the Scottish constituencies - especially in the ones that had large Labour majorities - will be later than 2010 for two reasons. I expect turnout - while not being at the same level as the indyref - will be higher and I also expect there to be more recounts as previously safe constituencies become closer. On the turnout level, I was looking recently at some of the turnout levels in Scotland, specifically in some of the traditional Labour strongholds. I was aware of this but hadn't realised how bad it was in certain areas, in Glasgow, only Glasgow South had a turnout higher than 60%, Glasgow North was just under 50%. Most were in the 50s or low 60s. I'd be prepared to bet that turnout will be a lot higher than that although I'm not quite sure what it means for individual parties. I'm assuming that the various seat prediction websites have modelled turnout but have they done that across the board? Traditional wisdom was that a high turnout suited Labour, but that was across the UK and usually reflected the Tory vote turning out whatever the weather. Post the indyref dynamic in Scotland, who knows what anything means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 A low turnout in places like Glasgow North suits Labour. People just think, 'what's the point of voting anything else, as Labour will always get it?' I would expect turnout to be a lot higher than normal in places like Glasgow North this time as for once, there is more than one realistic choice.

peever1745 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I see some people refer to the 2010 results but lets remember that nobody thought Glasgow would have been a yes city. A lot has changed since 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect turnout to be a lot higher than normal in places like Glasgow North this time as for once, there is more than one realistic choice. That's my view as well although I would caveat that by saying a low turnout *suited* Labour in places like Glasgow North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think the SNP will take Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath. Yes support was high there, and Brown got a lot of personal support.....much of it will now go to the SNP I suspect. I'd be amazed if the SNP took any of the Borders seats....too many ya-hoo Tory farmers around there who hate the SNP with a passion. Every single other seat is up for grabs, but I suspect that Labour will (just) hold onto a few in the central belt, including Skeletor's.

Squirrelhumper Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I see some people refer to the 2010 results but lets remember that nobody thought Glasgow would have been a yes city. A lot has changed since 2010. I live in the city and was extremely confident of a Yes here. Probably gave me a false hope. I'm from North Ayrshire and despite the bad rep it gets, I was disappointed by only 49.5% voting Yes as it seemed to have more support locally than that. I blame Kilwinning and Largs.

I have been down in Cupar quite a lot lately and was surprised to see the amount of support for the SNP. Tactical voting could win the day though.

Och Aye Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm worried the same suspects on here are getting overconfident again. Aye even tho the Motherwell and Wishaw seat is in the People's Free Republic of North Lanarkshire. I'm not over confident as it's one of those places where you could put a Labour badge on a cabbage and it would be elected and I definitely don't want that post Indy feeling again. One thing that's different though is there are much less political sign's being displayed in people's windows for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
