quote:Nicola Sturgeon has been pushing IndyRef2 despite support for it plummeting leading to unionist SNP voters, who were apparently a thing, being scared off for fear of their vote for the SNP being seen as an endorsement of a second referendum. The Tories had already managed to better position themselves as the party of the union before Sturgeon claimed the leader of ScotLab supported another referendum, pushing more unionists in that direction. Pretty spot on really. She's loving up badly on constantly putting spotlights on independence, when the electorate in Scotland is increasingly growing fed up with the SNP not focusing on other affairs of state. The recent news showing education going into free fall hasn't helped, and their inability to do proper tax reform or housing reform with the powers they've got has irked alot of people. Must admit even i'm getting tired of it. Problem is the alternatives aren't great either - Scottish Labour is a basket case of disaster and I trust Ruth Davidson as much as I trust a scorpion not to sting me. The Scottish Conservatives have done extremely well in spin and proper targeting of areas that are traditionally Tory . The south of Scotland has already been Conservative heartland due to farmland and rich towns full of old people, while the areas in between Aberdeen are again full of rich little villages. That they've swung back to Tory is not surprising. The future is going to be dependent really on whether or not Scottish Labour sorts itself out. Kezia is utterly useless, but Corbyn can't kick her out without risking another "London in control of Scotland" backlash. I think the reality though is that, if Labour really are on the up and moving back toward traditional flavours with Corbyn, they're going to have to do something about their party up north. The other issue though is that there's not really anyone in Scotland suitable enough to take over. Either way, the SNP really have messed up pretty badly.

quote:Having debated Corbyn on and off over the last 20 years, I have no doubt that his condemnation of U.S. policy is heartfelt. The problem is that somehow for Corbyn, America is almost always in the wrong for the wrong reasons. Whether it was the first Gulf war, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan or Iraq, Corbyn not only questioned the effectiveness of U.S. policies—which was perfectly legitimate and unfortunately often accurate—but he also ascribed malign intent to them. Whether it was profit, or imperialist greed, for Corbyn, America’s motives were always suspect. To debate Corbyn was to constantly fend off labels like “corporate villain” or “war criminal.” It was rarely a respectful difference of opinion about how best to achieve shared objectives in a complicated world.

Ruth Davidson is to defy Theresa May’s plans for a hard Brexit and tear her Scottish party away from English control after the UK Tories’ disastrous General Election result. Amid a growing clamour among senior Tories in London for Ms Davidson to be given a top position in the UK party, her aides are working on a deal that would see the Scottish party break away to form a separate organisation.
