....is it all over for the SNP? Personally I hope not, Labour will benefit from SNP woes.

[10ClarionSt]

I'm sure Labour are working on it! We need those votes!

[ToraToraTora]

yes 10cs I agree, Labour can't win without Scotland.

[10ClarionSt]

As you know, I've been saying for sometime that Labour won't win Scotland. They still won't I don't think but there may be signs of a few gains, which always helps. We'll see.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes 10cs but if they can wrest a few seats from the SNP that will help them enormously.

[anneasquith]

It’s time now for Labour to pull there finger out and get some votes in Scotland .

[Gromit]

Large majorities tend to be adjusted at the next election.
The SNP haven’t been great so voters WILL show their displeasure.
And in England all those red wall seats that the Tories won will return to Labour. As for the rest of the country, the present government have been a shambles for four years, and I expect the electorate will vote accordingly.

As the cult of personality comes to an end chaos must ensue, it's how these things work.
We'll have an extremist of some flavour in place shortly, depending on whose boggle-eyed supporters are the most vocal/have the most dirt on the other two.

[Gromit]

If the number of party members is being used as some kind of indicator of election success, I should remind the OP that the Conservatives have less than half the members that the Labour Party have.

[gulliver1]

Gromit at 13 09 You are quite correct . Membership and support for the Tory Party is falling at an an alarming rate.

[Gromit]

Indeed Gulliver.
The Conservative’s have just increased their membership fees for new members from £25 to £39.
Apparently the increase is because donations have plummeted.

[ToraToraTora]

I see Gullomit is back with his mate Gromiver!

[ynnafymmi]

Now that Murrell has stepped down,i wonder if he will get a £600,000 payout?.....Oh,silly me....

[ynnafymmi]

@12.11.I always had you down as a nationalist,anne.Welcome back to the socialist fold.

[tomus42]

Party membership is irrelevant. Jeremy Corbyn supporters actually thought he had some hope of winning an election because membership increased under his leadership.

The electorate decides election results, not party members.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes party membership is not directly relevant but it does point to internal issues in that party. That in turn can lead to reduction in support at a coming election.

[anneasquith]

Ynni, you know nothing about my politics. On the other hand your head is full of mince .

[ynnafymmi]

Nah...rowies....

13 38 Once again, TTT replies with a very juvenile answer ,which implies that I touched upon a very raw nerve with my reply to Gromit @ 13.17.
You must calm down TTT .I only commented on the fact that The membership and support for Tory party is falling at an alarming rate . Please don't let my post spoil Your night out at The Con Club.
