And to think that these numpties might be in charge of Scotland again after the next UK General Election.

Vote for the SNP and get away from them "before" they drag us down with the rest of the UK.

#1:

You have no idea.

I think we should organise a massive fuel protest and not back down until Brown halves the duty, resigns and goes to see the Queen to request to dissolve Parliament.

A Friend of Fernando Poo,

OK, Labour have failed to build enough jails; they've let illegal immigrants wander in and out of the country as they please; children have exam certificates that they can neither read nor count; NHS dentistry has collapsed and the NHS is hard on its coattails; they blundered into a war with failed intelligence; they failed to kit out soldiers properly for that war; the Civil Service can't even protect its records with simple encryption; the Police are too busy filling in forms to catch criminals; the criminals are loading up on guns due to Labour's ridiculous law disarming the honest citizens, and finally, Labour themselves are too busy thinking up creative new ways to fill their coffers with illegal donations to actually fix any of the problems.

My question is : is there anything left for them to mess up on?

Ecco Warrier under PR voting in local government there are numerous examples of Labour and LIb Dems "in bed" with the Tories and there isb't much difference between Nu Labour and the new Tories or the Lib Dems.

No sign of Tory increase in Scotland....

RESULTS OF BY-ELECTIONS POST MAY 2007

Party. Votes. %
SNP. 3236. 35%
Labour. 1913. 21%
Tory. 1602. 17%
LibDem. 1770. 19%
Other. 656. 7%

a. Midstocket/Rosemount (Aberdeen) in August; SNP gain seat from Tory; Moved from second place in 1st preference votes to first place; 4% increase in vote.

b. Helensburgh & Lomond South (Argyll & Bute Council, Dumbarton Constituency - Holyrood) in October; LibDems gain seat from Independent.

c. Lochee (Dundee) in November; SNP hold; 2% increase in vote; Nicol Stephen visited 5 times yet the Lib Dems only managed 11%; Lochee has historically been viewed as a Labour stronghold; Lochee voters received a sustained (and failing) assault by the opposition on the budget and SNP policies.


2. Scottish samples from latest YouGov polls.

YouGov poll for Channel 4, 21-22 November, Scottish sample 143.

SNP: 36%
Lab: 30%
Con: 19%
Lib: 11%

This finding was also reflected in the last YouGov poll for the Times, 14-16 November, Scottish sample 182, which put SNP support at 35% and Labour at 28%.

We recognise that the Scottish samples of UK polls are small, but nonetheless they do support the analysis of local government by-elections, including the SNP’s victory in Dundee last Thursday.

Our political masters have screwed up, and screwed us, over and over again.

Time to wake up.

They answer to international capitalism. Not to us.

Take the power back, or sit back, and watch the ever tightening spiral of decline.
