    And so it begins. The same yellow bellies who shat it in September will go back and vote Liebour when the moment of truth comes. I predicted we'd lose the referendum from Day 1 and I am predicting right now that Liebour will retain most of their seats in Scotland come May. We don't have enough people with the stones to vote for something different in this country.

    We lost the referendum, therefore I dont see how folk think the SNP will win a landslide.

    Will do well to get 20 MP's in.

    In terms of 2016, I've vowed not to vote because I'm completely disillusioned with mainstream politics.

    Has UKIP got any chance of gaining seats in Scotland?


    Even if not are people starting to get worried about the prospect of them in power down in Westminster

    Torn between Greens and Labour, probably edging towards Greens.

    Think they might gain a few but nothing substantial, their main aim will be Westminster and the main campaign for them seems to be down south to all the BNP and EDL mutants and all the brainwashed muppets as well that love to blame the immigrants.

    UK's Labour could lose "safest seat" in Scotland to nationalists -poll

    [​IMG]Reuters - UK Focus – 2 hours 19 minutes ago


    LONDON, March 5 (Reuters) - Britain's opposition Labour party could lose its safest seat in Scotland, that of retiring former prime minister Gordon Brown, at May's election, according to an opinion poll which showed huge swings in support to the Scottish National Party.
    Five constituency surveys commissioned by Michael Ashcroft, the former deputy chairman of Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party, showed swings of between 20 percent and 28.5 percent from Labour to the Scottish National Party (SNP).
    The polling highlighted the crucial role that the rise of nationalism in Scotland will play in what is expected to a be the most closely-fought national election in decades, with the Conservatives running neck and neck with Labour.
    Last year Scots voted in a referendum by 55 to 45 percent in favour of staying in the United Kingdom.
    "Labour losses in Scotland could offset their gains from the Tories (Conservatives), leading to something close to a dead heat," Ashcroft said at the presentation of the polling on Wednesday night. "For every two seats they lose in Scotland, they have to take another from the Conservatives to compensate."
    If realised in May, the swings shown by the polling would hand four of the five seats surveyed to the SNP.
    The Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath seat held by Gordon Brown in 2010 with an 23,000 vote majority would fall to the SNP, the poll showed. Brown has already announced he is stepping down from parliament at the election.
    Previous polling has shown Labour could lose as many as 35 of the 41 seats it holds in Scotland. (Reporting by William James; editing by Michael Holden)

    Snp have them all running scared down south,running round like morons making pacts to make sure the party that scotland votes for has no say or power in uk politics.

    We could end up with anything from a labour/tory coalition government to a rainbow government of tory/lib dems/greens/ukip...ect ect.


    From a simple tv debate to being in power running the country they are trying to keep the snp out.
    What a shambles this country governments are turning into.

    As we get closer to the vote the more the snp are gaining,i for one hope the people stay strong on voting day and how funny it would be if there was more tory MP's (0ne) in scotland than labour.
