  • Further proof of SNP misrepresentation:
    Alison Brooks accused the SNP candidate for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, Paul Monaghan, of “misrepresenting” her after her image was used in a party leaflet.
    The leading doctor was left fuming after the SNP took credit for her work, claiming they were supporting her as the chair of the Caithness Maternity and Gynaecology Group.

  • Come now Pict, as a defensive stance I reflected the accusations of trolls back on to those who cast the assertions.

    Need I also remind you that 8 posts in a row (I stopped counting at that point) you directly targeted me with no topic of conversation.

    Its laughable from someone who has previously said they were themselves targeted.

    Have a nice day now. :)
    I'm having a great day, despite you polluting posts with your withered attempts at deflection, condescension and downright malevolence.
    See the above posts.:D

    Oh, I hope these haven't spoiled your evening?
    :)

    If not <--- Sturgeon goes to courts or calls a Holyrood election standing on an independence ticket, as do the Greens <--- Scotland votes ( legally ).

    Scottish Labour is imploding as I write over Tory/Labour coalitions in councils. So there will be lots of spare votes coming from that direction too.

    Sturgeon goes to court <
    and loses
    Sturgeon calls illegal vote <---- and loses

    The one thing you are correct about is that Labour in Scotland is imploding although use of the past tense might be more accurate but you will need to wait until the GE to see which party benefits. It ain't necessarily yours.

    I thought the picture would help visualise misrepresentation.
    what a great evening, elsewhere in the news

    Scottish unemployment falls below UK rate
    It takes the jobless rate to 4.4% - below the rate of 4.6% for the whole of the UK.

    Well done the SNP, keeping Scotland working

    Scotland will vote either way since it's already been initiated from Holyrood, not Westminster <--- Scotland votes

    And in any case I was replying to string's repeated misunderstandings about the timings of any future vote. <35% ? I guess that's what you're hoping for, am not sure it's the most likely scenario though.

    Shakey think you need to check in with HQ and find out what the party line is in indyref2 at the moment. Doesn't sound as if it is being passed down to the faithful.

    Wrong Shakey, the way you have described the schedule you foresee is exactly what I thought was in the SNP minds. I had no misunderstanding as on that score.

    My queries were about exploring how sincere the SNP were about giving Scots the information they need to make an important Referendum decision. But the SNP don't care about anything outside their spiteful little tunnel.

    So I can't say either I'm surprised to find the SNP is not sincere at all. Just a bunch of unprincipled chancers.
    There's no referendum planned for this year, or at least until the latter part of 2018. Am sure you'll know all you need to know by then when there is a definite vote on the horizon.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    An election is perfectly legal, and what's more Westminster transferred the powers to make it so last year. As well as full control over the franchise ( ie 16-17 year olds, EU nationals etc ).
    Scotland Act 2016

    The act gives extra powers to the Scottish Parliament and a Scottish Government,[1] most notably:[2]
    • The ability to amend sections of the Scotland Act 1998 which relate to the operation of the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government within the United Kingdom including control of its electoral system (subject to a two-thirds majority within the parliament for any proposed change)
    If Sturgeon dissolves Holyrood, the other parties without the Greens don't have the numbers to form a Govt = Holyrood election. Want to guess what'll be in the SNP + Greens manifestos should this scenario occur ?
    The one thing you are correct about is that Labour in Scotland is imploding although use of the past tense might be more accurate but you will need to wait until the GE to see which party benefits. It ain't necessarily yours.
    It'll be a bit of both. With the SNP already in front by a fair margin over the Tories, another few % points won't hurt.
