The "Blairites" never accepted the leader and his direction. They openly criticised their leader. It was, and still is, a fractured party. Better to look at the election before and the massive gains Corbyn made to see how a level playing field showed that a "real" Labour party could benefit from real labour policies. ETA. Not that I helped their cause because I will always vote SNP UNTIL we get independence. It's only after this I will choose which Scottish party will deserve my support. When I look at Corbyn gains I see the worst Tory campaign in living memory and the worst Tory campaigning prime minister ever in May. On SNP watching the debate between Neil and Wilson I posted previous should IMO be cause for concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour lost because the public weren't interested enough in their policies and they didn't trust Corbyn to run the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a more significant reason for Labour doing poorly at polls is that the Press and other media are firmly funded to stop them getting the message out - or simply distorting the message. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the SNP. After Independence is achieved they will be either insignificant or non existent so how anyone performs against a media bully is neither here nor there. I believe in the ideal, not individuals in the party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 It seems wee Nicky is starting to lose the crowd. Scottish independence and SNP support dips slightly in new poll A new poll has shown a slight dip in support for both Scottish independence and the SNP. Research by Survation suggests 52% of Scots back the country leaving the rest of the UK – a drop of two percentage points from November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree it's so easy to manipulate the masses, How could anyone possibly know they are being lied too, It's all over Youtube and social media that the Governments of the world are controlled by aliens (Lizards] disguised as humans. You can't tell me Big Donald and Wee Boris are not related. 🐸 🐸 both have blonde wigs too And this one, There's a worldwide cabal of Satan Worshipper's that are ruling the world, I even read both of these facts on Facebook so it must be true ? but I'm not sure which one to believe ? It could be both mind if those Lizards believe in old Nick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
