Scottish Government moving the goalposts

Robertson's campaign manager, usually found poncing about in tartan mini dress and full make up.

Got into a bit of bother for condom tasting in front of the general public on the royal mile.

That party is a cesspit.

The female predetor has been brushed under the now bulging carpet.

7 polls in a row now favour unity.....latest 57%.

Although I'm pro independence I don't fancy it with the SNP running things, I suspect that's why the polls are swinging toward staying in the union - well played the Tories up to now but if it all blows over and people find out there was no cover up, no breach of codes etc. and realise that no other party has policies to help Scotland it could change back very quickly.

I'll still not be voting SNP though.

I listened to Ruth Davidson at FM Questions today. I've actually always liked Ruth, she doesn't (well never used to) mess about or mince her words, an excellent orator and obviously pretty clever with it. However, today she was using words like 'alleged' and 'reported' to describe things that she's trying to purport as absolute fact. She's just toeing the party line of course which is to bring down the Sturgefuhrer and her cronies but you can't be using these words to try to back up what you say is a statement of fact so she's losing in my view and she just gives Sturgeon the opportunities she wants to bat her down and look good.

I think there's deep problems in the SNP right now and that they are now bad for Scotland. Nicola and the guy on Skye in particular are self serving and two faced but then they are politicians. The Tories won't bring down the current clearly corrupt Scottish Government unless they come up with some actual policies that appeal to people like me that would welcome independence but no longer trust the SNP. Those policies must be aimed at giving Scotland its independence form Westminster rule. They are proposing no policies, all they have is the linesman shouting SNP bad at every opportunity - not a popular guy and not a great strategy.

As it stands I will not be able to cast any vote in the May elections because I don't want to feel responsible for either of them being in power anywhere. SNP will be back and possibly with a bigger mandate simply because no alternative is being offered.

I agree with your analysis of Ruth Davidson and the way she is approaching the way the SNP have behaved. I think there are principles involved and they can't be fixed by Holyrood on it's own unless there is a minority government which argues with Westminster that there should be changes made to the Scotland act.
Think the Conservatives will lose votes to Lib Dems and Labour in seats where either of those parties is second to SNP. Might gain votes from these parties where they are second to the SNP.

SNP I don't think are getting a majority.

Greens look like they may lose up to 3 seats.

Minority govt, vote by vote basis.

Or unionist coalition......would be guid.😁

Odds on SNP majority are 8/15.....this was 1/6 a month ago.

No majority 11/8.....I've had a few bets from 9/2 down to 2/1.

Why do you think that SNP will not form a majority government? Polls seem to me to be a bit simple and I don't think understand the subtlety of the Scottish voters mentality. For every wee wheeze the union supporting parties can think up, I think the SNP have an equally thoughtful and creative mindset. Just look and compare the insightful posts from Islay on one side and Taintedice on the other.
