Not at all,,not everyone hates the snp,, the only saving grace we will have is communities i away from the coast not related to the fishing,,my close social group and to an extent my family are mostly snp,,, but from such a strong position over the last 30 years the drop in support is staggering,,,i can put a bet on that the snp wont get above 25% of the council election vote,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two with the highest percentage in troup and banff are know independent,,, this will be a disasterous council election for the area also we will be lucky to get 25% first choice altogether,, i hope im wrong, a bit depressing Edited January 15, 2017 by hampden_loon2878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm sure that if the SNP lose a couple of councillors in Banff but take control of Glasgow, they won't be too troubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your boss maybe entitled to a rebate from the SG he obviously hates so much. By all accounts Local authorities, unions and even the business community like the new system and all monies raised in the area stays in that area.

Charles Ritchie is an absolute arsehole, he told his apprentices to vote No or they would lose their jobs. There is a video somewhere online of debate which took place in the palace in Peterhead. He made a complete and utter arse of himself. He's nothing more than a greedy bag of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all taxes there are winners and losers. Over 100,000 small businesses in Scotland who pay less that £10k a year in business rates will now be exempt from paying any business tax at all.

Toepoke Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Utter apoplexy from the unionist commentators at the Greens siding with the SNP. Although it wasn't exactly a United front, Tories saying they were taxing too much, Labour too little. Murdo Fraser seemed on the verge of meltdown with his derogatory comments towards the Greens, must've still been raging from the hammering the Queen's XI received last night...
