If Sturgeon really wanted rid of the Tories then she wouldn't be trying to her best to destroy the Labour vote in Scotland. She knows that the longer the Conservatives run the UK, the stronger the SNP becomes in Scotland.Quote:

I have worked in Glasgow as a Driving Examiner,and the Scots hate the English with a vengance !
It's the Barnett Formula.
Do you know what? I couldn't care less. I'm all for the SNP influencing the outcome if it pushes a Labour minority administration leftwards. If that happens, it will have been on the basis of a democratic vote, and not a little influenced by the aftermath of the independence referendum. I was against Scottish independence, but the way English politicians have treated Scotland since — bearing in mind what a close-run thing the result was — has been utterly contemptible. So, too, is your last remark.Quote:

The Scots should hate the English with a vengeance. It was the thieves in the city who sold every trophy in the cabinet for a fiver and most recently, expected to be bailed out by the taxpayer when they looked a bit dodgy; so that they could pay bonuses to them. Also, given the MP expenses scandal, Scotland has even more right to be ticked off.Quote:

What's this "our economy" you speak of? Are you part of the band of thieves running EC2?
I don't want to see UKIP get any seats. Their value to the country is that they do an excellent job of stirring the proverbial about a limited number of issues - something which is easy to do if you don't have to make any decisions or compromises.
The SNP are riding the bandwagon for as much as they can get out of it but they risk finding that the result is an attempt to resolve the West Lothian question in a way detrimental to them.
Has any one managed to work out what the Green party are for? How do they intend to keep lights in our homes, the wheels of industry turning, etc?
They seem to base themselves on being a vote for all the hippies out there and anyone who has to support green issues, even though voting for them will not achieve any of these goals.Quote:

Still nothing but SNP on the election news slots. Why is it so much about them?
We have the referendum and surely thats a once in a generation or two's thing. Annoys me.
They have quite a few councillors, who like to turn residential areas into 20mph zones.Quote:

Because they launched their manifesto today and it's quite likely they will be the third biggest party at Westminster after the election.Quote:
