Do you think a lot of their voters actually care or is the cause of independence more important than any wrongdoing they've done? Support for Independence is reducing, Now 35-39% (Depending on who you ask). Personally, I think the SNP is done and people will jump to ALBA maybe but that party commands 1% of the vote. Independence was over in 2014, just because the SNP say it isn't, they need a carrot. They have run out of money also and the 600k really has gone from the accounts. I don't know as I'm not a Scot and don't live there, but I suspect you'll see some vote share decline but not enough. The irony of the SNP is that if they achieved their flagship policy it would almost certainly destroy them. What does a single issue party do when that isn't an issue anymore? Agreed, it was always like a pyramid scheme to make some people money and give false hope, but a lot of people made a living out of it. The only logical step now (hopefully) a Sturgeon arrest, almost everyone else has been nicked. She signed it all off I guess, her fingers have touched it all. It was always going to collapse as its built on lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their defense, nobody from the top echelons of the SNP has been arrested or held in a police cell today.

chrisp65 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 I mean, my reading of the figures its actually at 29% but hey, if it’s 29% then I think that’s the highest its been in my lifetime. A few years ago I was bitching that the BBC would report it as 9% when it was 12% and it was at 20% by the time they finally acknowledged the 12% stat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 All quiet on the SNP apart from the Police are apparently looking at money left to SNP in wills as part of their fraud investigation which is always a look political parties look to be involved in as it says "Class" They will change their name at a certain point, I mean they have too ? Everyday there is a story. A bad story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Guess the labour supporters have to thank the SNP for their great collapse as this lets them back into government along with the tories mess.

chrisp65 Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Its a small sample size, it doesn’t translate in to votes so easy, all manner of caveats, but 10 years ago that figure was between 4 to 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Sinn Féin having a very good day in the local elections in NI, as a political machine they are hugely impressive but are going to only let people down when they hope for progressive improvements in society. This goes for in the 26 counties where they are likely to lead the next government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65871857 Quote Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the SNP. Police confirmed a 52-year-old woman was taken into custody as a suspect and is being questioned by detectives. On 5 April, officers searched Ms Sturgeon's home and the party's headquarters in Edinburgh. They also arrested her husband Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive, who was released without charge. A luxury motorhome was also seized by police from outside the home of Mr Murrell's mother in Dunfermline. Almost two weeks later, SNP treasurer Colin Beattie was arrested and released without charge. Mr Murrell and Mr Beattie were both treated as suspects and were taken into custody for the legally defined period of up to 12 hours of questioning before being released pending further inquiries. Under the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016, police can release a suspect for further investigation, but they can be re-arrested at a later date.

Marka Ragnos Posted June 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Is the Nicola Sturgeon arrest a big topic over there? It's shocking to me. Still not clear on any actual criminal allegation apart from money missing from a "ring-fenced" campaign finance account, but that could all just be incompetent accounting, right?

Nope, I'm more shocked it took this long. The shocking thing is that she wasn’t there long. It’s no longer shocking because it’s been rumbling in for a while since her husband got arrested. Theres no such thing as incompetent accounting, especially at this level. Motor homes bought as a campaign battle bus that never saw battle and was stored on the mothers drive, is not incompetent accounting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
