Why then is Scotland's GDP so far below England's?

Its a very good question.
In a union where we are supposed to be so much better together, why is the UK's GDP growing whilst Scotland has shrunk?
I'll need to look a bit more into that.

Pict, you've attempted to play the man again but appear to have fluffed and scored an own goal

My post you responded to was about additional votes, I mentioned nothing about the share of the vote.

If you want to reference the post where I talked about the share of the vote and indeed showed an understanding of the figures and statistical analysis, may I point you to my response to AMSJ

Same thing.
You're avoiding the point as usual.
I don't care about Labour share etc etc etc.

Again then:
Is SNP vote share decreasing?

I've not looked at the figures, but if we were to take your post as the reference



I would not get my knickers in a twist over a potential 0.03% variance, especially given the statistical rounding that also appears to be shown.

Digging in a little deeper, the figures appear to show that there is a variance of 0.0203945% rounded between the 2012 and 2017 council elections.

All within the realms of expectation given that turnout was 39.6% and 46.9% respectively

Do you realise that a 0.0203945% variance equates to 385 votes out of the 1889658 cast?

So I'll agree with you that statistically, the share has very marginally decreased, but in reality and within the realms of statistical analysis, the data points to a plateau in my opinion.

Now, given all that said and the SNP remained pretty flat, the conservatives failed to get the same share that Labour did in 2012

Labour achieved 31.39% in 2012
Conservatives only achieved 25.3% in 2017.

Indeed, if you look at Conservative and Labour combined in 2012, they achieved 44.66% of the First Preference Vote
In 2017, they achieved 45.5%.

The council elections only saw a swing from Labour to Conservative with SNP remaining flat.

The gap between the SNP and the second largest party of councilors has widened in 2017

That's one heck of a load of waffle.
Jock asked you:
"Do you deny SNP vote share is decreasing?"

Will you answer?

You do that.
In this all together union where Scotland is the only net exporter why is GDP not growing?

So you dodge the question. I had expected you to defend what you had written, instead I get an SNP slogan.

Par for the course.
Sad, eh?

Look over these pages & see how many questions go unanswered - that or the old trick of "drown it our with multipole posts" to move the questions away from the leading page.

These posters think no-one notices.
Increasingly they do, making many of the pro-indy posters in this thread look like a right bunch of unmentionables.
On the bright side it furthers favourable opinions of the unionist segment.

I did indeed.
I asked Shakey too IIRC.
I will try again:

For Shakey, ISTL and sss555ss:
Do you deny that SNP vote share is decreasing?

Oh such a helpful post.
What a surprise coming from you, an agitator the equal of the rabid pro-SNP acolytes within this thread.

You don't ask ISTL or Shakey to stop trolling?
Why is that, Mayo?
:whistle:


BTW, I posted " For Shakey, ISTL and sss555ss".
One down, two to go then.

How far do you think that 28% of the vote against 40% is going to get you in a FPTP election ?
