Only two days in to the campaign and already we have had -
SNP supporter complaints that hearsay suggests that Labour and the Tories are going to stand aside and let the LibDems have a clear run at Blackford in Skye. (It's no fair.)
Complaints from SNP supporters because Jo Swinson is apparently open to the idea of talking to Plaid Cymru but not to them. (It's no fair.)
And my personal favourite, a diddy party like the Greens has the audacity to actually consider putting up candidates against the SNP. There's even a claim that Pete Wishart ain't pleased. :greengrin (It's no fair.)
All at a time when the SNP is heading for a landslide win in Scotland, my vote included. You could almost feel sorry for them. :greengrin
To be fair to all those SNP supporters, they're only reflecting what's out there in the MSM, "the times" included, and which hasn't been denied (blackford).Quote:

The tables will flip on here.

You’ll keep this post in mind? The tables will flip? I think you are taking my post far more seriously than it was intended. :faf:Quote:

In my defence if years of supporting Hibs has taught me anything it's that it's never good to go into match day as favourites :greengrin
Its already looking like Harry Hill is going to have to set up a fight so that some people can resolve their differences.
andrew neil asking jo swinson why she thinks she will be PM, she's one helluva dreamer

she's standing as a candidate to be prime minister lol
The candidate hasn’t been selected yet.Quote:

There are also SNP voters who aren't happy with the SNP taking on Green Party policies. It's not as simple as taking their policies on board.Quote:

The SDLP stand aside for Sinn Fein in North Belfast.
Sinn Fein stand aside for SDLP in South Belfast.
Both stand aside for independent pro-Remain Unionist Lady Sylvia Hermon in North Down.
Both stand aside for Alliance's Naomi Long in East Belfast.
Got to hand it to Farage. He's the only national nhs privatizing profiteering socialist banker you could ever have the misfortune of stumbling across.Quote:

SNP (3rd largest party in the UK) getting white washed from yet another "debate".

What are the establishment so fearful of?
If Labour can talk about NHS for 6 weeks and keep letting the Brexit Party attack Johnson then it might tighten up enough for a hung parliament.Quote:

Lib Dem’s, PC and Greens doing a 50 seat pact where they stand down candidates to help each other win seats from Tories.
