Also remember:-
Some candidates standing as 'independents' are doing so because they were chucked out of the SNP, so do not vote for an 'independent' unless you know he or she is very clearly pro-UK!
What if you want independence?
Also, remember to "vote til you boak" - give numerical order to your votes as far down your list as you can handle, to make sure your priority is recorded as those that you really don't want in stand less of a chance.0 -

Who are you referring to? I think you are miss-informed
vote for who you want.
I'll be voting for people who are willing to stand up and be counted in fighting for the good of the people of Scotland, not any puppets who's a sub-servant and whos interests do not lie in Scotland

How many times are you going to post that image?
Keep it up & I may report you for spamming; I removed it from the quote.
Oh BTW, we know just what you think.
Not very much it appears, based upon recent evidence.
And upon your diatribe above.
Still, not long until we get an indication of how many seats the SNP will lose.

I may even look to put it in my signature if allowed.
As a point of interest, you never made any comment on the poll you asked me to link.
Care to comment now?Independent Scotland in Europe 56.7%
Conservative government out of Europe 43.8%

You don't know what that is as has repeatedly been proven.
Why comment on a poll?
We all know how reliable polls are by now.
Besides, the results will be here soon enough - and that is what matters.
The abject fear radiating from your posts is almost palpable.
Now THAT really is humorous.0 -

Not the best planning to create confusion between council seats and MP Elections.
Whats going to be more interesting is if Theresa May somehow fails to get the mandate she is hoping for.
Some of the policies seem ludicrous.
From Rape Clause to Increasing tax & National Insurance.
From maintaining foreign aid at the expense of securing our pensions.
It may be very interesting General Election and potentially not the white wash most are predicting.:wall:

David Cameron agreed
I agree Scotland could stand on it's own feet, of course it could, many nations have come through from far more difficult circumstances.
The issue though is I don't believe the Scots will leave the UK only to get into bed with Brussels. The independent UK will be a great success, the Scots will not want to lose out on the opportunities before us.0 -

I agree, I take polls with a pinch of salt, but you asked specifically for the link (no doubt, doubting my credibility or the facts that I stated), hence I was expecting a comment from you.A_Medium_Size_Jock wrote: »We all know how reliable polls are by now.

I'm sure I read you citing polls before, but it appears you don't care to comment, because you don't like the results.
Currently however, your incorrect that we will soon know the results.
The Westminster government has yet to agree to the democratic vote of Holyrood parliament and agree to a second referendum.
How can we therefore see the results?A_Medium_Size_Jock wrote: »The abject fear radiating from your posts is almost palpable.

LOL, no fear at all from my side.
Indeed, there's hope and potential in this General Election that TM does not get the mandate she desires and albeit I accept the likelihood that the Conservatives will win, I hope that it forces TM to stand down as she is a very poor leader (in my opinion).
Remember the last election was polled to be a hung parliament with a coalition and the conservatives did better than the polling suggested to squeeze through a majority.
What if the results this June return a hung parliament?:wall:

Maybe, maybe not.
There is a growing consensus that the majority would prefer to be independent in Europe rather than Conservative led in the UK:wall:
