General Election

I think Boris is the most dangerous man to lead the country, that also said i think he will win with ease.

I think we are post democracy already personally, targeted ads at individuals, foreign money interfering in our elections and the blatant lies from Tories and Lib Dems.

I don't see how we can ever hold free and fair elections again whilst playing dirty wins and i'm very confident it will.

conservatives are going to win, and its bonkers.

all he says is "get Brexit done". that's it, he has nothing.

nothing reassuring, no numbers, facts, nothing.

idiots voting for a party that hates them, that has caused child poverty, an absurd rise in foodbanks, and tax breaks for the rich.

these people need educated.

SNP to, hopefully, get independence and get away from toxic Westminster and no more Tory rule in our country.

I don't see a scenario in which Boris lets Scotland have another referendum at all.

Although it's always baffled me slightly because without Scotland, it becomes increasingly difficult for Labour to win so it would benefit his party.

Might get better weather with independence...

Boris will win, and my only hope is that the SNP do well enough that the Scottish Parliament can have the numbers to force his hand on Indy 2.

He wont like it, but a big enough margin in Holyrood, and enough pressure added to the forcing of Scotland out of Europe might just be enough to let the predominantly English voters who back BJ be the ones left with his mess. Hell mend them for voting him in.

I have always supported Scottish Independence, mostly from a POV that we should as a Nation not be treated like a colony and be told what to do by a govt that sits in another country. Now I support it not only due to that, but also from the fear that we will have in charge a man who despises Scotland, has made it the butt of his jokes and who will happily allow my country to be all but an irrelevance to his cabinet and govt.

This rhetoric facks me off no end.

Scottish voters have greater representation on average than English voters. Scotland has around 90,000 constituents and England has about 110,000 constituents per seat so actually whilst Scots moan and whine that they aren't being listened to, your vote means more than mine.

You're a region with a population smaller than Yorkshire and half the size of London, why on earth should Scotland have the same say as England?!

I will vote SNP

In all honesty if I lived in England I'd likely vote Tory. Much like we lambasted folk for voting No because they didn't like Salmond it is hard to justify not voting for a party based on the buffoon in charge if the party policies are closer to your thinking than Labours

i want out of the union.

but...

doesnt change the mess that thousands of familys and children will be in for the the rest of the UK.

its horrible, though tbh its genius. by blaming outsiders the tories have got their biggest enemies to vote with them.

Brexit will happen and we'll be taken out of the EU against our wishes, then we'll no have the baws to vote for Indy

so with that in mind I hope everyone in Scotland who votes no is subject to a lifetime of pain and misery

Interesting that the SNP have started using paid ads on Facebook targeting Labour voters, particularly in the central belt. Their data must be suggesting that they're at risk from people moving to Labour, which suggests that Corbyn's message is getting through. I wonder if that will be replicated across the UK.

It's been a very presidential style election in the UK with the leaders being front and centre and we've seen little of the rest of each sides cabinet.

Scotland is a country, not a region.

And why should we have an equal say? Because we're a political and economic Union. A family of nations, if you will. So in any Union, each partner should have equal say, should they not?

We are not a region dafty, we are a country.

We have been governed by Tories for a decade without them ever once winning an election here.

SNP for me,

The past few weeks have been absolutely painful to watch from both Labour and the Tory's.

Anyone who votes for Comrade Corbyn deserves a spell in Carstairs.

'We're going to provide free broadband for the whole country and it will only cost £20bn."

BT Chairman: "It would actually cost around £100bn"

"We're going to introduce a 4-day working week"

Really - and how exactly is that going to work?

"We're going to ensure that the lowest paid will pay less tax"

Actually - you are going to ensure that they pay on average an extra £400 extra a year based on your figures.

"We're going to compensate the WASPI with £58bn"

Again - where are they getting this money from. McDonnell said 'there are ways and means' or similar. What a load of utter drivel.

'We have evidence that the Tories are going to sell off the NHS to the USA - here is a redacted document providing the evidence"

I think it was Guido Fawkes who had saw the document and commented that there was absolutely nothing in the document to suggest this was happening. Trump himself the other week said that the US has no interest at all in the NHS.

His own Health Minister confessed yesterday that Comrade is a danger to the security of the country.

McDonnell this morning on BBC News "It wiz peyoor banter"

Erm - no it wasn't, he was talking earnestly.

Seriously - anyone who votes for this man will deserve everything that happens thereafter when the country is on its hands and knees and we're catapulted back to the 70s and Winters of Discontent.
