“Anas Sarwar lit up the Holyrood election campaign this spring and is renewing our party with energy and optimism.
It’s not just here in Scotland though, polls across the UK have decisively shifted, showing if an election was held now Keir Starmer would kick Boris Johnson out of Number 10.”
Well, Ian Murray, Sarwar managed to lose seats in May and polls in Scotland show that Labours not winning anymore seats up here.
The Tories need to lose 100 seats for the Scots to even figure.
Much as I hate the incumbent incompetent twats that are in power I just can’t see them losing enough for the 50 Scottish MPs to make a difference in our next leader.
The pools say one thing but are wrong more often than not.
Scotland will not be decisive in the UK GE.. Almost all sears will go to the SNP, and the odd five or six that don’t will be too few to make a difference either way.
Polls have shown Labour getting either a narrow majority or being just short of one, so Scottish seats could prove decisive. But it depends, really, on what happens.
When’s the next election? 2023 and how many seats do the tories have to lose?
We’re two years out at best, and if you think the electorate will rember stuff like wallpaper after all that time I have a bridge to sell you.
The Conservative majority is insurmountable and as long as they drive up house prices it will remain so.
Don’t see Scots lighting up for Labour anytime soon. They hardly offer them anything.
We are going to mass vote the SNP in. Turns out 2014s 45% smashes first past the post.
The rest of the UK needs to deal with it. Theres grumbles about this every time but Labour (or indeed any party) are not entitled to Scotland.
The reality is that Starmer needs to win a clear majority in England without any Scottish seats. The same way that the Tories have had a clar majority in England without any Scottish seats. The Scottish seats are good, nice, important in their own right, but the reality is that Starmer needs a landslide in England in order to have a Labour Government that does not need to pander to any other political party.
