George. Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) On Thursday, 12/12/2019 the general election will take place. Has anybody decided what they will vote for, has anybody decided to vote for a different M.P or party, or has the majority of folk decided not to bother this time round? What does everybody think the result will be this time around? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50325059 https://www.theweek.co.uk/93763/will-there-be-a-general-election-in-2019 Edited November 7, 2019 by George.

Ghostrider Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I'll decide who I'm voting for, and if I vote, once the full field are known. We're going to get an abortion of a Parliament again unless the Tories stand aside in every constituency where the Brexit Party is standing, and give them a clear run and let them form a government. Orr at least the Tories and the Brexit Party form a formal alliance ASAP until brexit is done and dusted. Otherwise nobody will have an overall majority and we'll just keep on going round in circles as the peddling and horse trading (or not as the case may be) continues, gaining nowt, but giving nowt either. 2 1/2 year of that crap already is taking the pith before we sign up for more of it.

How? The leave supporters are not going to give in. Either we leave, or actions to force it will escalate. The politicians who've been at it for 2 1/2 years have chased their own tails all that time changing nothing. Change is inevitable......It can either be calm, orderly and slightly civilised, or not........ To foresee any other outcome is delusionally optimistic.

JohanofNess Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 The leave supporters are not going to give in. Either we leave, or actions to force it will escalate. Still waiting on Boris Johnson being dead in a ditch, Mark Francois pointing at an exploding Britain and all the leave militia lynching MPs.

Ghostrider Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 ^ The whole Tory party will be dead in a ditch if they don't stand aside or do a deal with the Brexit Party. The Tories have had far more chances than they deserve, 2 1/2 years, three leaders and an election, and they're still trying to figure out how to organise a piss up in a brewery, They've already lost the 'leave' supporters vote.

Wheelsup Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 If the ERG Party (It cannot claim to be conservative or unionist any more) and/ or the Farage Party win, then regretfully the only option left for Scotland will be independence..In the unlikely event of Libdems winning, or a Labour government which then offers a second EU referendum, then an imminent Indyref 2 might not happen. Dangerous times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffererof1crankymofo Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 No, Wheelsup, the only option left for Scotland will NOT be independence. The minority in Scotland might well support independence, which isn't possible by being in the EU, for starters. An option for Scotland is to embrace Brexit like the rest of the UK and carry on trading with its biggest trading partner - England.

George. Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 ^I would suggest that at the last election, the minority voted against independence while the majority voted for the S.N.P. Of course, that may well have changed and we will see that in a months time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 The minority in Scotland might well support independence, which isn't possible by being in the EU, for starters. An option for Scotland is to embrace Brexit like the rest of the UK and carry on trading with its biggest trading partner - England. The facts don't support this opinion. Recent polls indicate a small majority in support of independence, the result of an upward trend over the past few years. And of course it's possible to be an independent country and member of the EU, and 62% of Scottish voters wished to remain in the EU at the referendum.

Spinner72 Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 " And of course it's possible to be an independent country and member of the EU, and 62% of Scottish voters wished to remain in the EU at the referendum." Technically true, and oft touted by the confused, but do not forget that leaving the EU was a major campaign point for the SNP in 2014, and still would be today if it weren't for the negativity about Brexit. The fact is that Scottish Independence means leaving the EU. Sure, we can then apply to join but we all know the (still standing) official EU stance on that.

Scottish Independence doesn't make leaving the EU more likely. George. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George. Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) ^^What do you believe to be the Scottish position on rejoining the E.U.? Edited November 13, 2019 by George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Well said Spinner. About time someone reminded the SNP supporters of the ridiculous reality of their position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capeesh Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 As long as Scotland is in the UK the chances are the vast majority of the Scottish electorate will have to put up with a Government they didn't vote for and endure being dragged out of the EU against their will.
