Numbers on the eternal haggis >SNP currently holds 56 seats in the commons (Out of 650) >They only campaigned in Scotland >In Scotland there is 59 seats up for grabs >This means they won 94.9% of the Scottish Seats
But is there something more going on?
Although we're talking percent in Scotland and Scottish seats this was a general election for the United Kingdom and Scotland is no more relevant in the end result than any other county on top of that knowing the number vote is important.
>The SNP won their 56 seats with 1.45 million votes, >This translates to only 50% of the Scottish votes >This also translates to only 4.7% of the entire United Kingdom vote.
So the SNP holds 9% of the Commons, with 5% of the vote, brought into power by 50% of the people of Scotland who turned out (which was 71% This means that anything the SNP says, is only supported by half the population of the people of Scotland. Which is important when you consider that in the independence referendum. >2.1 million people vote to stay British (55.6% of the turn out) >1.6 million voted to go independent (44.5% of the turn out)
Fuck the SNP, they have zero mandate to say that the shit they're stirring right now with the Brexit vote is on behalf of the people of Scotland and they have even less of a foot to stand on when they are holding the will of 17 million British citizens hostage when they themselves only got voted in by 1.45 million Scotcucks

Alright, what councils do the Conservatives have a chance at winning in the upcoming Scottish council elections? Heard they're doing well up in Aberdeenshire.
Conservative landslide would RUIN the SNP for 2020.

REMEMBER, the SNP purposely made Scotland an economic drain just to justify independence in the hope Scotland gets kicked out of the UK.
Christopher Anderson
But the Scottish Conservative Party is openly left-wing
Reposting because it's particularly true of the Redditors ITT (Look at the amount of newfags falling for that Question Time panel);
In the end, not many people on Brit/pol/ are actually conservative. You wade through all the pro-drugs, pro-prostitution libertarians, past the alleged right-""centrists"" who inevitably support far-left policies like sex education and abortion, over the Tory shills who don't care if the country's fucked just as long as immigration is 100,000 a year under Mummy May instead of 250,000, and you're left with not much at all
The fact of the matter is that when people say things like "ANTI-TORY??? SO YOU WANTED LABOUR TO WIN??" they're confessing that they basically treat politics like a sports game. Yes, Labour and the Tories fundamentally agree on 99% of issues, and in some ways (spying, budget cuts for our Armed Forces) the Tories are worse, but I support the Blue Team and if I don't the Red Team will win, so fuck that. It's very sad

It's more comparable to getting knifed in the gut by people who say that they hate you because you're a white male or getting knifed in the gut by people who say that they hate you because you're a white male but they're really very sorry about it

Mostly shame user, with Chavs gobbing on your back.
Sebastian Baker
and regardless of him being correct on them being reddit or not everything else he said is completely correct.
Yes, user! I'm glad someone other than me sees sense!
I mean look at all the EXPLICIT DIFFERENCES in the Parties. Like Labour increasing mass immigration to over 300k/year or the Tories who refused to even dent the number!
Or perhaps the fact that Labour want to make Military Budget cuts and the Tories are currently making huge military budget cuts!
Or the fact that Labour are all Europhiles how the Tories are still trying to keep us in the EU!
Or how Labour all voted for the Snooper's Charter that the Tories also ALL VOTED FOR!
What a wonderful amount of Diversity we have in our two largest political parties!
Agreed. This is a retarded way to handle the situation. The man has no pragmatism.
If we're luck he bothers his arse to vote for UKIP in 2020 rather than just stay at home.

You are more like a redditor than most, you insist on using a username, because for some reason when posting on an anonymous image board it is important for you to have some sort of recognition, and apparently you think that your identity should have some kind of influence on how people judge your posts, you cover up your astonishing inability to discern between the nuances of sincere, ironic and blatant troll posts by calling someone a redditor, which only serves to highlight your desperate need to be thought of as cool, and instead of forming your own opinions, you seem to rarely differ in thought from whatever Peter "Should Have Been The Brother To Die From Cancer" Hitchens spews out each week.

Conservatives do pretty well all over, just not well enough to win seats. I'm Scottish myself and in the past two general elections I've voted differently as I lived in two different areas. Liberal Democrates in Shetland Conservative in Angus North I will vote for whoever has the strongest chance of beating SNP as nothing matters more to me than beating the independence vote.
The next general election is going to be an odd one because SNP has lost some of it's support but then the Scottish people don't know how to vote and they will likely just default to SNP anyway.
Calling people Redditors isn't "cool" anymore since the majority of people on this thread got here from /r/UnitedKingdom, the other political UK one, or on the wider board /r/TheDonald
Case in point being how much people like to screech and claim it doesn't matter when I call them out on it, never actually denying that they didn't come here from Reddit
Parker Gonzalez
This will be a crucial episode. We must endure it because it will be maximum badgood.

he's also far more useful for the same reasons YKTD is.
YKTD is an insufferable uppity faggot who can't get enough of himself however his political views tend to be sound and he's one of the only legitimate conservatives in this thread.
Hitchens has all his flaws with a bigger platform and a better insight.

What is the case for GIMP over photoshop? Is it free?
Why do we have a supreme court lads? It was created to remove the power from the House of Lords, yet the court is made up of Lords anyway by appointment of the queen on the recommendation of the Prime minister (just as the house of lords is) and it's a lifetime position.
