Deutsch Par Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 With the way that the political landscape is just now, do you think that certain parties will keep pushing for the potential of another referendum? I'll put my cards on the table and state that I do see one coming within 10 years and it's almost certain that I will vote the same way as I did last time and that was for Scottish Independence. Ideally I'd like to see a Socialist Independent Scotland but let's not run before we can walk, eh? I have also decided to make the polls anonymous.

AdamAntsParsStripe Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I think within 10 years as well but this is solely dependent on the SNP retaining their popularity.They are sure to wipe the floor this May but can they sustain it come 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutsch Par Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I don't think it will be difficult for SNP to sustain their popularity tbh. Most Scots will never ever vote Tory and Labour are no longer trusted. It's easy for the electorate to lose trust but it takes a hell of a lot of time and effort to regain trust, hence why the Lib Dems are now considered a joke party after Clegg's U-turn of student loans and SNP taking nearly every seat in Scotland at last election.

Vinnie Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Scotland's MP's are pretty much all SNP. Not sure if that's disillusionment with Labour and LibDems, or simply a growing surge of patriotism. What it does suggest, is that there is a greater will to see change in Scotland. Not necessarily enough to gain independence, but perhaps just more pressure on Westminster to be less London-centric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamAntsParsStripe Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 The SNP are experts at playing the long game and the last three polls put independence in front but I think it is not enough just now. NS wants a regular poll of around 60% to make the case. This might be clever so long as her party are storming the elections but without a majority in Holyrood post 2021 it will be a hard task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Can't recall a time when a party with such a bad record in government has enjoyed such popularity in the polls.Speaks more about the opposition (or lack of) than anything else though.Scottish Labour are an absolute embarrassment just now.
