salmonbuddie Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Is that you making a sensible post now? I'm just confused.... Ah well, any excuse, I'll post it again So they're irrelevant BUT needed to form a coalition. Despite being on record as saying they will never do so. At least you're consistent. You continuously trip yourself up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 If I had to choose between her and Alexander, I'd still vote for her. Indeed , I used to have a great deal of respect for the man (he has sent me a Christmas caird fur the last seven year) , which came to an end due to some of the lying remarks he made just before the referendum , which made me think he'd sell his country doon the water for the sake of the British Establishment and all in sail in it. .

thepaisleypanda Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Who ever has the most seats could run as a minority. It has worked before in other parliaments. Now that I've answered your question, answer mine. Why do you lie? Wrong! In the event of a "Hung" Parliament - the present incumbents get first dibs at forming a co-allition! As the SNP have stated they will NEVER do so with the tories, this may prove impossible for Cameron. In such event, Milliband would have to go begging to Sturgeon which, would involve a lot of trade offs for Scotlands benefit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the Labour party don't want to cede to the SNP demands then they can attempt to run as a minority government so cockles1987 is not wrong.

thepaisleypanda Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 No he wouldn't because the blue and yellow tories formed a coalition that had a majority. missing the point - if Milliband can side with SNP to get over the 50% mark are you suggesting he wouldn't??

Stuart Dickson Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 The latest poll data from yesterday suggests that Labour and Conservative will both win 281 seats each with the SNP likely to win 41 - insufficient to gain a majority as a two party coalition. UKIP appear to be getting squeezed as those who suggested they would vote UKIP are returning back to the party they would traditionally vote for. I suspect that the same thing will happen in Scotland as traditional Labour voters move their support back from the SNP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) They COULD, but they wouldn't! If that was the case, Brown would have still been PM! Wouldn't couldn't? The fact is, given SNP have flatly debunked any collusion with the tories, a majority labour party CAN attempt to form a minority government on a bill by bill basis. Whether it would be successful is in doubt but they COULD try. This was the very point made by the poster .

FYI, "Tartan Tories" was never funny. It isn't even clever. It's condemned by its own banality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 So, what is your preferred "likely" outcome? Don't expect an answer to that one.

Stuart Dickson Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Elections are really just a waste of time. There should just be a lottery every 5 years and whoever wins should be PM. They can then get their mates to be the cabinet and the rest of the people who live in their street can be the other MPs. When you look at the mess governments of all hues make then I don't think it could really go much worse. We could get an impartial outsider to organise the lottery to ensure it isn't fixed - pity Saddam's dead, he would have been perfect for the job. No surprise at all that a Scottish Natsi should state his admiration of yet another despot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post didn't mention enough Scottish slang words used to maximum patronising effect. You managed "watter" though so it wasn't a completely wasted post.

bluto Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Why is Scots patronising? Do you suffer the cultural cringe? I certainly don't. It's my own, my native tongue, and that's how I talk... so it's easy fur me tae slip in and oot o it. I suppose it's any excuse to engage your brain - and to not answer, as ever, a straightforward question. From that pov, my post WAS a waste of time. I lowered myself, I condescended, I hadn't learnt my earlier lessons. I should never try to engage with you as my equal.

Kemp Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I would have thought Labour would have stopped using words like "despise" for the SNP. It is their idiotic blind hatred for the SNP that has led to them becoming a political irrelevance in Scotland. Still, Jim Murphy is on the case to promote beer at the football and Israel's right to bomb whoever they want, so I'm sure they will come good soon!

thewhiteman Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I am seriously phukin embarrassed to see our club being associated with one particular political party in the national media today, pictures of a political party leader in front of our stadium and club badge and with the club mascot is out of order do the club back this particular political party ?
