So they think the Greens should just act like a branch of the SNP? That’s going to go down well with Green Party members.

Well, ideally yes

I think it's the problem with the FPTP system, it's going to throw up issues like this.

The current Tory MP in the Stirling seat for example is against gay marriage, do the Greens really want to risk having him still in the seat boosting Boris' numbers instead of the SNP's Alyn Smith (very pro European, pro-action on climate change)?

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. (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.

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).

FWIW they can get on with it for me, I'll keep this post in mind when we move forward to 2021, when wings comes along to stand on the list only.

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.

Not at all. Just a wee reminder for a couple of posters. 👍

I agree, I need to shed a few pounds, but that's below the belt.

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

[Cataplana]

Its already looking like Harry Hill is going to have to set up a fight so that some people can resolve their differences.

I know I should know who, but who is the green candidate in Perth and North perthshire? That is my constituency.

The candidate hasn’t been selected yet.

I can see why the SNP might be worried about the Greens taking votes from them, but maybe instead of complaining they should look at the reasons why people would vote Green instead of SNP. The Greens have a far bigger commitment to the environment than the SNP, and that’s a big issue for some people.

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.

These single issue parties, eh?

Farage now making an appeal to the traditional socialist strongholds of Northern England and encouraging them to come out in numbers and vote for eeeerm..... national socialism.

[JeMeSouviens]

Sinn Fein and the SDLP in unofficial nod and a wink pact.

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.

Hope that one in particular works out. Could conceivably kick-start something quite good in Norniron.

Why don't Sinn Fein stand aside for SDLP in all seats?

Because they're trying to gang up on the DUP, not obliterate themselves in NI?

The same reason the SDLP won't stand aside for Sinn Fein in all seats?

Tories haven’t really got out of the traps yet. Maybe as crap a campaign as under May!

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.
SNP need to keep doing what they are doing. Getting shut out a debate probably helps them. It shows that mp’s elected here count for less than mp’s elected in England.

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

Are we going to see the same in Scotland?

Are the Greens in on this?
