Orraloon Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks. I'm colourblind and thought the grey was green Could be worse. Imagine what it would be like if you also thought blue was green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Suspect the red on that map is Glasgow South West (fatty Davidson) and Glasgow NE (Willie Bain)? It's East Renfrewshire and Glasgow North East. Glasgow South West has an SNP lead of 3% based on the polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Clyde1998 - if that last sentence were true and continued until May 7, then I would have that count on a continuous loop. Along with Curran's/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) These polls look fantastic, but there's tons of work to be done. Those Glasgow majorities - some are absolutlely massive. These polls highlight the options of tactical voting for the hardcore SNPOUT Unionisits too, although I don't think there are enough of them to have a viable concerted effort of stopping the SNP and some will end up cancelling each other out by not knowing who to vote for e.g in Gordon - Lib Dem or Tory? I seen someone on Twitter suggesting that in I think it was Argyll/Bute, Skye for Unionists to vote Tory to keep the Nats out. Both seats are currently held by the Libs! Although Labour are absolute disaster, so there's hope that these polls could well hold up. Instead of promoting their plans for power, policies, or what not - they just keep repeating either 'vote SNP get Tory' or 'these polls are great news for David Cameron'. I'm still struggling to believe these polls, but quite/hopeful of what Iain MacWhirter said in that maybe voters have simply transfered their 2011 Holyrood voting intentions in to WM.

popkean1314foreva Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If the SNP take the D&G and Dumfriesshire seats I will be utterly amazed. As a junior SNP member in the mid to late 90's I attended the Annan Branch meetings, 5 was a good turnout, me plus 4 ageing activists no longer with us who had given their all for independence their whole life's. I will raise a glass to them if we win either one of those seats. According to the e-mail I received yesterday the newly re-formed Annan branch has 150 members already and its unauguaral meeting is set for Sunday 5th April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jockodile Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I truly believe once you go Yes you never go back. It is like you seen the world in a different frame. These poll results give credence to that, but id caution that our old friends the MSM will throw the kitchen sink at the SNP in April. No complacency, we have 6 mps, polls can energise but only 1 matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) A lot of right-wing, uber Unionists...with the help of the right-wing press...are pushing the idea of tactical voting. I simply can't see your average Labour supporter going along with this...it all sounds too hate-filled, machiavellian...too 'Loyalist'. If Scottish Labour are seen to be promoting it, or joining in, I reckon it'll kill them off completely. Their erstwhile supporters will flock to the SNP in droves.

The former Conservative prime minister said it was "shameful" Labour had not rejected a deal with a party "whose principal aim is to break up the UK". The SNP, forecast to make substantial gains in May's poll, said the comments were "embarrassing" for Labour. Ho fukking ho - better together mind....democracy my erse.

I used to go an and read the comments page and quite often comment on it, but I think they deliberately put stuff on the comments page( uni trolls) to enrage the 'cybernats' and they all go and respond., And therefore give the Hootsmom more hits which they then use to their advantage. The more hits the more advertising etc... if the Cybernats stopped posting replies to the Scotbuts Trolling the numbers would drop considerably.. methinx.
