Anime_Otaku posted:It's going to be a battle, if Scottish Labour broke away and set themselves as a pro independence party that might win some of us over, but as it is I'm SNP until independence is achieved, and I'm far from alone in that. This result is really a product of realpolitik, the Tories are not really so popular in my view, but I'm in West Dunbartonshire, which returned Martin Docherty to WM again after being strongly Labour (the MSP is Labour's Jackie Bailie still) prior to the referendum. Quite honestly as long as Labour keeps voting with the Tories in Westminster, they don't have much chance. When you say voting with the tories do you mean actual votes that have happened or a likely position against another referendum for Scotland? I can see that a safe SNP seat voter would be unmoved but I would like to know how a SNP voter in a constituency that went Tory feels this morning.

jBrereton posted:You reckon we'll go the month without a fresh election? This DUP thing is going to be intolerable for a whole number of people. Seem to remember hearing someone on the BBC, a snarky tory who kept his seat, having a go at the chair of the thing congratulating him on his 11th (?) consecutive election coverage, and that he was looking forward to the 12th before the end of the year I don't reckon the tories will stick to this 5 year term, they're going for another before the year is out.

Junior G-man posted:If Sturgeon hadn't called the second referendum but just stuck to anti-austerity, anti-Tory campaigning this election, I doubt she'd have lost half the seats. I'm hearing rather the opposite analysis is taking place in some SNP circles this morning (parents are both members). Some in the party are of the view that the real thing which caused them to lose seats was people not turning up to vote, as turnout was down in scotland while being up everywhere else. And so the independence fundamentalists are arguing that the issue was not SNP candidates talking about a second referendum, it was SNP candidates downplaying the referendum in the mainstream media (think of all the times you heard an SNP spokesperson say "we're not the ones obsessed with the referendum"), which meant that indy-only voters didn't bother turning up. The SNP have been very disciplined for a long time now, I wonder if this might be the first re-emergence of the rift between the fundamentalists and gradualists.

Like someone who might just realise they need to wake the gently caress up, I hope. Nah. They'll just blame everyone who didn't vote for Independence in 2014 and carefully never consider that maybe, just maybe, the SNP hosed Scotland royally.

I'm still sceptical that DUPCON is really as unstable as everyone here seems to think it will be. I'm afraid it will last a while even if it'll be chaotic, rightists are assholes and will consolidate if it means holding on to power. I don't expect DUP will blow up the government. Renegade conservative MP's, maybe, but it'll need some kind of crisis.

A selection of BBC Have You Say tears These are all top-page comments quote:Once again, the gullible young have been duped by free everything in a new la la land. Well done guys. Do you feel so cred now? quote:This was a dollop of good news last night which helped ease the pain of seeing Comrade Corbyn increase his vote share. quote:I am amazed by this electorate. Amazed how older voters have so quickly forgotten that Labour ruined this countty only a few years ago and amazed that the younger voters are so gullible to fall for Corbyns hollow promises. quote:Well, well. Just goes to show if you promise people the earth, some of them will believe you. quote:The greatest election in campaign in history. quote:My old dad always said - "always remember son, that 80% of the population are as thick as pig muck". (maybe not that polite) That so many could vote for the terrorist supporting marxist just shows that he was right all along I guess. Mind you - worst tory campaign I have seen in 40 years I must say.

NewMars posted:Brexit is in literally two weeks and both want diametrically opposed outcomes. But DUP got on board with barely a hitch... They want a soft brexit, the tory leadership wants hard, but they can compromise to reach a position, pushing for special provisions for NI for example (the EU might actually budge on that if they think it will help keep Corbyn out of power), then sell the whole thing with a bit of tabloid propaganda as mediumhard brexit.

Obliterati posted:Pictured: the attitude that lost Scotland in the first place The SNP hosed Scotland by reducing their position to divisive core policies. Voting in Scotland is now single-issue voting for a great many people. Want independence? Vote SNP. Don't want it? Vote Tory. The SNP took a lot of previously Labour seats in their rise to power, with voters drinking the kool-aid that Labour were now incapable of representing their interests. People in those once-Labour seats who are pro-Union are now tending towards the Tories because they don't see the SNP as being a party that's got anything of substance to talk about except independence. Whether that's true, or whether they do have substance to their manifesto, is irrelevant. The fact is that there's a perception that it's all they talk about. Scotland went blue because of a failure amongst the SNP party, and the SNP voter base, to realise this and engage with those people.

With the general level of competence on display? They'll do exactly the opposite: somehow having special provisions for everyone but ireland. Or worse, put Boris Johnson in charge.

Renegade conservative MP's, maybe, but it'll need some kind of crisis. It'll be hell. Labour, if they've got any sense whatsoever, will play endless looping clips of DUP nutters on sexuality, faith, family etc and shore up support (plus probably converting more moderates) by tying the Tories and DUP together every day, all day, forever. Plus, the DUP programme on Brexit looks very, very light and soft, and won't sit well with the hardcore Brexit nutters on her right flank (see below). May also doesn't even need the DUP to create trouble; Anna Soubry + Ken Clarke + 1 or 2 more is enough to fold the whole tent. They might not do it, but they will certainly threaten it all the way. As will those on the other side of the spectrum. https://twitter.com/OpenEurope/status/873100791967395841
