    The one needing to grow up is you, because I very clearly posted:

    Nicola Sturgeon must be worried at how many seats really are at risk.
    She's suggesting that the whole outcome of the General Election could rest on how many seats Scots give to the Conservatives.

    I see IDontUnderstandWhatALightIs is still trying to derail threads.
    :(

    What a surprise that you ignore the very topical part of my post and instead yet again try to derail the thread with your nonsense, there was no comment about Sturgeon's belief from my post at all from you.
    Now how about YOU play the ball not the man?

    Perhaps so but the possibility exists.

    Anything is possible, but the poll is over 2 weeks old and we saw in previous posts that possibly the support for Scottish Conservatives dropped from 33% to 25%.

    Let's see next week.

    "Possibly".
    Polls, huh? Not exactly in agreement with their forecasts, are they? Well the latest ComRes national poll says
    The lead of British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party over the opposition Labour Party was unchanged at 12 points ahead of a June 8 election

    Why would they need to twist anything? The best estimate was 17,000 attended, the police saying 15,000. Given Glasgow alone has a population of around 600,000 that's not exactly such a big turnout, because let's be honest here even Hearts (yes I know it's an Edinburgh team) get more support than that on average.

    That's a small fraction of the people of Scotland.

    I just hope that you will see the light on Friday when SNP will loose so many seats because of this, then hopefully you and Sturgeon will shut.

    Is it "no one in Scotland" though ?
    How many seats do you think the SNP will loose ?
