How Badly Could This Backfire?

If the SNP campaign on a single issue surely they'll lose a lot of their current supporters. Not every single SNP voter wants "independence" so if she is making it clear that the election is a de facto referendum surely they'll vote for another party, probably the Lib non dems or even the greens as both Labour and the Tories seem to be universally disliked in Scotland. So she'll struggle to get 50% of the vote, even last election where they won most of the seats they only got 45% of the vote so I think it could go badly wrong.

Scotland does not get a subsidy from the UK government and DEFINATELY not a Fin english subsidy,Scots pay more in tax to the UK treasury than we GET BACK under the Barnet formula.Free prescriptions and free bus passes for under 22s are part of a sensible progressive social system in a caring country unlike England where they treat people like garbage with poor housing poor public services while making sure that TORY cronies and the ABOMINATION that is the HOUSE OF LORDS get money to salt away in Tax Havens.ROLL ON SCEXIT GO FOR IT SAINT NICOLA.

You been on the Buckie again,MONEILL?

[Peter Pedant]

no sorry the scots NHS gets a £1000 per head more than the south. Not many scots and spread out ( so health care for the same standard hem hem ) is more expensive

5m scots supporting 56m angles - chrissake give it a rest mate

[Peter Pedant]

no: loo-loo juice doesnt explain such erratic statements of finance

[perseverer]

TTT, your link is to a newspaper article from June 30th. What effects the latest developments would have is anyone's guess.

[ynnafymmi]

Looks very like we will have a referendum about 2035,persey.I cant wait,can you?

[perseverer]

I have posted on here several times that I am a Scot and against independence, plus by 2035 I may well be dead and buried.

[ynnafymmi]

"dead and buried",nah.See you outside the polling station in 2035 and me and you and TCL and Gulliver can go for a few shandies later.If MONEILL is coming with us make it a litre of Buckfast.

[MONEILL45]

Not Buckie that is an english drink.Good malt whisky like a MACALLAN 12yo or a BALVENIE 14yo or even a GLENDRONACH 15yo.I only drink quality not English s;;t.SLANGE

[THECORBYLOON]

I think you mean, "slàinte"...

[JimF]

"your making a fool of yourself."

Come on, don't give them excuses...

[Gromit]

TTT,
53% don’t want a referendum.
47% do, or are not bothered if there is one.

Conclusion - the SNP are going to get annihilated in the General Election.
Dream on.

gromit: "Conclusion - the SNP are going to get annihilated in the General Election.
Dream on. " - err nope, I am suggesting that she won't get the 50% to "win" her de facto "referendum". No doubt SNP will still win most of the seats but the overall vote percentage will drop.

[Gromit]

TTT,
So if the SNP win most of the seats, how exactly is that backfiring for them ?
