Victoria Derbyshire, "You described Reform UK as the right wing fascists of 1930s, why?"

Lord Heseltine, "Because that's what they are"

Wow! 👏👏👏👏 But as a party who votes for them? Middle of the road nice people who would never put their head above the parapet.

😂😂😂😂 what a wee corduroy wearing fanny! Honestly, the Lib Dems are the epitome of taking a salary for doing Sweet Fuck All!

Yep, I have been saying this for years. The rich Tories would have accepted a poor deal, a mediocre deal, a bad deal or NO Deal just to "Get Brexit Done" before January 2020. That is why Dyson set up in Singapore. Why Reese Mogg moved Somerset Holdings to Ireland. Tax Evasion !

Tory Scum!

Yep ! You can lump ReformUK, Labour & what's left of the Tories together as capitalist right wing racists!

Lib Dems - who cares? These are corduroy wearing, wastes of space.

That leaves the Greens in England as the only party with a conscience, looking out for the interests of ordinary voterrs.

Patrick James Boyle, 8th Earl of Glasgow (18 June 1874 – 14 December 1963, was one of a number of large landowners who joined the British Fascists in the early 1920s. Boyle served as leader of the British Fascists units in Scotland.

Well, look at the choices you have in England! Not so hot!

Tories - washed up tax dodging racist

Labour - current Tory tribute act

ReformUK - racists, racists, racists

Lib Dems - who cares?

Greens - at last a political party with morals but no chance of getting into government

Pretty shit!

Glad to see you have a sense of humour girl 👍 Don't worry about us, we will be fine. 🍷

Jane has been drinking of the tap down in England. Got horrible parasites eating her brain(which wasn't great to start off with).

Have a look below Jane before the rot really sets in. 😂

We will be just dandy on our own! England not so much.

Please spread the above with other Indy voters. I have voted for SNP since 1975. I am an SNP member.

But I am an Independence supporter.

To make an impact to the UK & international public we need more than 52%-54% of the votes.

Scottish Greens could get 25+ List seats if we voted as below -

Well back in the day, there was no ALBA or ISP. Scottish Greens were just Greens in 2007 and 2011 so weren't associated with Independence. So really SNP had the pitch to themselves. SSP did terrible as usual.

What's wrong with these people that live in England and Wales........ Ah! They don't have SNP as a choice on their ballot paper! 😂😂😂

glassrod57.bsky.social @glassrod57.bsky.social · 1d

👏👏👏👏 So why haven't we done that in 300 + years? Keep up the good work! See you the trenches 😂

Who do you think signed the Devolution Agreement? Before we had MSPs we had Labour MPs in Scotland. They agreed to the legal terms of the Scotland Act. Is it any wonder that they allowed all the Reserved Powers to reside with Westminster & that the Scottish Government has to ask for a Referendum.

Hey, the fact is Scotland is still part of the UK with a devolved government. I want out of the UK as much as any Indy supporter. I would support UDI, De Facto Referendum etc, etc. But would all Indy supporters back it? Saying something should happen is not the same as it actually happening.

It's getting worse not better, Frank. From 26 List seats in 2006 to 2 List seats in 2021.

In my region of Mid Scotland and NE Fife SNP won 8/9 Constituency seats. So SNP List votes got divided by 8+1=9. 136,825 votes reduced to 15,203 votes.

Even though SNP got 39.8% of the List vote = 0 seats

You need to read about the PR algorithm. Do you understand it? Yes or No?
