Ok So Who Is Shitting Themselves


Recommended Posts

I am utterly crapping it about the GE results. I just cannot face another 19th Sept feeling. Although nothing will ever match that feeling, if the results in this election are way off what the opinion polls suggest I just can't face the thought of what things will be like.

I have a similar feeling of holding my breath as I did on the 17th Sept and am utterly dreading the wait for the results!

I know quite a few of the candidates too and that makes this election so different to any other I have lived through. I just want things to go well for all the people I know who have worked so hard.

Nervous because I don't think I could take another unionist gloatfest like we had in the aftermath of the referendum. That said the optimism for this one is different from the hubris many of us (me included) indulged in in the run up to 18th September. The same Tory/Labour lies won't catch us out a second time I'm sure.

Compared to the referendum this is a pre season friendly...

Agree. Didn't sleep well for days prior to the referendum, felt sick after for a few days.

Any more than 50% of the seats is a huge success.

What is your baseline expectation of seats percentage-wise?

Concerned that we will get a very unstable period of government. Likely to be a minority Labour Govt that will be unable to push through legislation without a weekly vote of confidence.

I am really looking forward to the possibility of a minority government not propped up by some lapdogs and then maybe we can finally learn to do some grown up politics where people work together instead of this pathetic adversary politics we do so well!

at the end of the day we're going to get some shitehawk Westminster government ruling us no matter how many seats the SNP get.Personally i'd like to see them get nearly 50 seats just for the shits and giggles not because I'm a Nat.

FIne under a PR system, rubbish in first past the post. Stable and long term coalition politics work better. NZ is a decent example. They have had a minority govt for decades.

Consider 30 seats for SNP as a baseline.

If you think that's good, you may be a 'glass half full' nationalist, or a 'glass half empty' unionist.

If you think it's bad, you may be a 'glass half empty' nationalist, or a 'glass half full' unionist.

Baseline expectation for SNP should really start at 6.

ive said before 27 seats for snp is my prediction, which i think would be excellent, but i hope for more.

27 seats for the SNP would mean a severe collapse of SNP votes and every polling firm would be made to look foolish

Im not expecting to win them all or even 50, although i obviously am hoping

If the polls are correct, and no reason to suspect they are not as they have been static for 3 months, then it should be over 40 minimum

Sorry but anything is better than the last "stable coalition"
