....Perhaps the sensible people of Scotland have had enough of the nationalists.

I don't believe it was ever really afloat. I think people vote SNP for want of other options and that gives a false impression.

Difficult to say, membership numbers dont reflect voters in an election.

Looking at the candidates on offer though its pretty poor. Just like the rest of the UK.

[Old_Geezer]

It may not directly reflect voter numbers but it reflects disillusionment in the party, and that is likely to be countrywide and mirrored in votes too.

[youngmafbog]

The SNP vote often seems to be a vote from the two party choice. And I can see why people do that given the state of the two 'main' parties.

Its all quiet from the pro indy members.

As per usual the elephant in the room was/is the Brexit vote.The leadership of the SNP was anti-Brexit.Their voters voted with their feet and voted for Brexit.The SNP,the Brexit party in Scotland.

[THECORBYLOON]

"Their voters voted with their feet and voted for Brexit."

SOME SNP voters voted for Brexit and even if they had they all voted to remain, the UK would have left still.

[ynnafymmi]

The SNP-the Brexiteer party in Scotland.29% of their voters voted for Brexit,compared to 27% of Scottish Tory voters,compared to 19% of Scottish Labour voters.Aye,you SNP have a lot to answer for.The Tartan Tories.

"The SNP, the Brexit party in Scotland."

Here's the last time you posted this deliberate lie:

So a bigger percentage of SNP voters voted for Brexit.Are you nationalist separatists embarrassed about that.Blooming heck,a welders torch couldnt touch your brass necks.

[JimF]

No, you see, a third of SNP voters voted for Brexit, which means that two thirds didn't. You do see that, right?

Back to the question-"Is the ship sinking".Its already sunk 3T.Scotland used to be the shipbuilding capital of the world.There are two rusting ferries being"built"on the Clyde.Millions of pounds over budget.Five years overdue.If the SNP cant build a couple of ferries,how the hell are they supposed to build a prosperous forward looking Scotland.

[ynnafymmi]

Three quarters of Scottish Tory voters didnt vote for Brexit,four fifths of Scottish Labour voters didnt vote for Brexit.As i said,the SNP,the Brexiteer party in Scotland.

[ynnafymmi]

I noticed Murray Foote has just resigned.He was one of the SNPs head honchos.He stated that he was lied to by the leading honchos in the SNP.Another civil war in the SNP can only be a good thing for Scotland.A war amongst the nationalists can only be a good thing for us poor benighted Scots.

[THECORBYLOON]

YNNAFYMMI, did the fact that some SNP voters voted for Brexit make a difference as to whether the UK left the EU or no?

[ynnafymmi]

Possibly,TCL.The fact that a lot of the SNPers come on here claiming the SNP was anti-Brexit is now seen to be a lie.The SNP,the Brexiteer party in Scotland.By a long way.

[THECORBYLOON]

"Possibly,TCL." You've been telt before it would have made no difference but that fact doesn't sit well with you, does it?

[ynnafymmi]

No,the fact that more SNP voters voted for Brexit(percentage wys)makes me angry,loon.As i said, down in England it was the English Tories who voted for Brexit,up here in Scotland it was the SNP who voted for Brexit.A plague on both their houses.Looks like the ongoing civil war in the SNP has already brought a plague on them.Good.

[THECORBYLOON]

As it didn't make a difference, there's no point worrying about it.
