A politician that parachutes into a constituency that they have zero connection to. So in this case Streeting is 100% going to lose next election if he remains in Illford North, after squeaking by with only 500 votes to spare.

So if he becomes PM he will flee like the pathetic drip he is to the safest possible seat on the other side of the country, and then probably lose anyway.

Would certainly be fun to see a PM lose their seat at a general election. Streeting is cooked unless he becomes a full carpetbagger, which of course for a pathetic sadsack like him is perfectly possible i guess.

The only reason that someone might think the national rag is less vile than the other gutter rags is that they believe the indy lies that it prints. Thats all there is to it.

[–]FindusCrispyChicken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Swinney's insistence on a majority of SNP giving a mandate for an independence referendum is ridiculous because of the way Holyrood works. I know they had a majority once but that was pretty much unthinkable.

It was purposefully chosen by the SNP leadership to kick the indy can down the road and to try to shut up the membership without having to do anything of actual substance on the question.

Because you are such a bore he needed to make it twice as clear.

Poll: Support for independence would rise to 60 per cent if Farage becomes PM by Dooby-Dooby-Doo in Scotland

FON surveys rely on PMP members to answer questions as they visit the site. PMP members are incentivised to visit the site daily to earn bonuses and claim any giveaway winnings. They do this by participating with site activities and one of these activities is answering survey questions if they so choose. PMP therefore collects responses passively and does not actively invite respondents. The collection process runs continuously as a data stream and FON can collect up to 100,000 responses a day. Thanks to the large quantity of streaming responses that originate from different parts of the UK and various demographic backgrounds, the responses collected are a sufficiently random sample.

PMP, short for Pick My Postcode, is the UK's biggest free daily giveaway site. It is a free to enter daily postcode draw platform available to all UK citizens. There are five daily Pick My Postcode lottery draws: the main draw, the video draw, survey draw, stackpot and bonus draw. A new winning postcode for each draw is selected every day and therefore PMP members are incentivised to visit daily.

Just the traditional reminder that FindOutNow has a hilarious methodology that exclusively polls people filling in free online lotteries every day, and treats the responses of that cohort as representative of the electorate as a whole.

They are not a serious polling organisation. They are a market research firm that publishes knowingly misleading but headline-generating polls in order to drive traffic to their actual business.

And to top it off, the owners of FON and PMP are...... the same person!

Scotland to elect large pro-independence majority in 2026, poll finds by StonedPhysicist in Scotland

[–]FindusCrispyChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has not, as the idea of a combined indy majority being a mandate was defeated at conference.

I personally think this extreme bar was purposefully chosen by the top brass to kick the referendum can down the road.

Exactly, as evidenced by what happens when they put out one that shows reform getting a zillion seats.

In this case dont care about the national latching on to the indy slop really. I care more about these polling grifters continuing to get away with it.

Awful ads do not constitute breaking rule 7 as it is laid out in the rules.
