And how does that relate exactly, to my point regarding the 52% of the vote.

Stay on point, do not go off at a tangent.

Those who lose elections always tend to whine on about something that is off the point. The only vote that counts in a General election is the one that gets MPs elected. Lumping Labour and Lib Dems together to make some daft totals conclusion is pretty desperate and irrelevant.

Its hilarious. Prior to the election being called we were fighting off the Hard Brexiteers who had no regard for Parliamentary Democracy. Now we are fighting off nutty Labour supporters who think the votes should be totalled up in a different way. Stay away from the cranks I say.

There it is, the voice of reduced comprehension.

Of course "the people" have spoken, but there are "the people" of a particular persuasion that think they are "the people" and no other people exist.

Over the years "the people" of 63 countries have spoken and said that they would no longer be imprisoned by a dictatorial government, why should "the people" of Scotland not have the option to make it 64.

Make no mistake the battle has begun, but unlike the Irish a hundred years ago it will be a battle of words rather than violence. Johnson is between a rock and a hard place, he will fight like a cornered rat as he knows full well he would be faced with removing the Crown of Scotland and Balmoral from the Queen, success on the other hand will highlight the dictatorship of Westminster.

As a result of brexit, it is a war that the UK cannot win, "one nation conservatism" can only ever apply in England.

 

Feel free to post the usual childish comment, no doubt something warm and smelly will prevail.

If the timing turns out to be bad then it wasn't such a good idea as market participants will tend to tell you. However, the conspiracy theory nuts' emphasis on the action taken by Brown is mostly peddled by the gold bugs who seem to pop up now and again.

Maybe because Scotland was part of this "dictatorial government", as you put it.

In market trading a decision to buy or sell might appear quite appropriate at the time but not so later.

I hardly call selling off half of the nation's gold reserves a "market trading decision". Especially at 275 bucks an ounce! Most inappropriate - a loss of about USD 15B at today's prices. Typical of Broon the Buffoon.

Well maybe, but if we can return to the subject at hand on this thread, one thing that needs to be clear is that anyone who wants to sell the idea that on any time scale into the future, any disillusionment with Boris (quite probable at some point) will lead to members of the electorate wishing they had voted for Corbyn needs to have their head examined.

Let's see if they can come up with a way of preventing the result of the election from being implemented. A 'people's vote', so to speak...

Been taking lessons from a creative accountant? The whole brexit fiasco was based on population share.

The SNP came first or second in EVERY seat in Scotland, but no doubt you think the conservatives did better than that in England.

 

 

 

The Conservatives certainly did better; returned to power with a sizeable majority that endures there is no chance of Indyref2 in the near future.

 

SNP only hold any sway in a hung parliament - and that is only because that small country has a disproportionate number of seats.

Not possible. However there is an ongoing attempt to change perceptions of the voting outcome by lumping together UK totals of the opposition parties to spin a different story. This is just a deflection from the real story which is the collapse of the Corbynista project. Until that gets sorted out Labour are condemned to lose the next election as well, irrespective of alternative vote counting.

In order to guarantee independence we NEED Johnson to refuse another referendum. Will be the best thing to ever happen to the SNP.

Why should people worry about your 52% figure when you did not have the moral fortitude to honour the 52% figure in the referendum.

A word of encouragement to you, I don't think you'll have anything to worry about Johnson refusing you another referendum.

Fortunately it is not up to the views of those trying to defend the brexit position, like several other issues recently it will probably end up in the courts.

During the 2009 Kosovo hearings the UK went on record that international law prevailed and countries had a right to independence.

The only decision Bojo has to make is how nasty he wants it to get.

That is a foregone conclusion but the Section 30 must be rejected before the matter can be taken further, process must be followed.

This would then be followed by a consultative referendum which does not require Westminster approval and the result of that would then determine the next step.

Good distortion, you should be asking why people want to dispute the figure.

Does anyone know who this guy is, Labour doesn't need an enquiry into what went wrong, they should just watch this video, he's good, "it's true"

Don't have to try. That total is bogus and irrelevant. The issue now is not parading around suggesting that the election is not democratic because of some made up figures. In the short term the argument re government is whether Boris flirts with Hard Brexit again. The Labour Party has no part in that discussion while Corbyn is still there as leader of the opposition or the Corbynistas continue their control of the Labour Party afterwards. Does anybody think the Labour Party still (if it ever did) represent Remain?
