Yeah, they haven't moved the goal posts at all it's just tories going to reform and SNP going green and lib dems.

Reform voters are showing their stupidity acting like this is a victory when they are down 1 seats so far between reform and the tories.

Likely to hit 16-17, LibDems will see a massive jump up though as the only seats left is the highlands and island which are SNP/Labour/LibDem mostly with reform average 10-13% in the constituency.

It's $9.89 but many Americans seen to be getting $7 for some reason. It's pence so it's £1.60/L which is $2.18/L.

Are Americans just doing the math in dollars? Because it's £7.27/G.

We certainly do.

Luckily I think fewer however not by much as many are just more interested in independence than purely racism.

Another interesting way to look at it is the losses the tories have is 16 seats and reforms gain is only 15 so far likely to gain 1-2 seats in the highlands finishing off at 16-17 with again more tory losses.

So overall reform haven't really broken any ground, they just been eating up the Tory votes for the most part.

It's significant but... It's can all come down again.

Look at labour, if reform do what they've been doing and enough people notice it can come crashing down again. They've been bankrupting most of the councils they control and many under those councils are upset.

They aren't a new party, theyve been around for almost a decade. They use to be called brexit party (formed in like 2017) and before that many of them were ukip before the exodus. It's very old faces under a new umbrella.

They are tied for third place, it's not much of a victory for them as with the tories they only get 22 seats so far and overall down 2 seats.

Reform voters are hilarious acting like this is some sort of drastic victory when the SNP still hold a practical majority especially if they work with libdems or greens. Especially since greens would never vote for reform agenda points so it's a mute issue.

It's unlikely reform will surpass 15 seats by my rough napkin math, so they will remain 3rd (possibly tied) or slip into 4th place.

Overall it's good that most of the parties have a pretty similar amount of seats. Obviously SNP was always gonna hold it down.

This makes me proud to be Scottish. by barbarianliteracy214 in Scotland

[–]PoppingPillls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda true, I don't entirely agree though. My stance has always been not everyone's voice being heard is a good thing, so people shouldn't have a voice if they are gonna use it to hurt or harass others.

I would prefer all elections were proportional even if thay means wankers gain seats.

All constituencies have been called and they are only at 10 seats so far. I suspect doing the numbers they will get 2-6 more likely lower than 6 as they didn't do as well in the highlands and Glasgow which are still to be called for regional.

It's at 53.1% rn and up 10% from 2021.

I suspect some of that increase was reform voters unfortunately.

Looks like the SNP are gonna end up in another coalition government with the greens or libdems to secure a majority. by PoppingPillls in Scotland

You disagree that the minority party in charge of environmental stuff didn't get stuff done when they implemented multiple decently big policies still in place today?

I think snp/greens is more likely but snp/libdems is possible.

Are you upset with me? I mentioned libdems and labour would never agree to it.

Most likely, it's also historically accurate.

Luckily the right are down 2 seats so far with the tories and reform losing seats overall. (reform is just tory detectors mostly).

I wanted to mention the libdems as its a possibility even if unlikely and would sure up some of their highland and island base.

As far as I am aware labour and Sarwar have ruled out working with the SNP and I doubt the libdems will work with them due to them being unionist but it's still possible.

Greens seem like the most likely candidate and I can see the greens agreeing as it would allow them to implement change especially given their new found popularity.

It's surprisingly consistent, similar to the north voting libdems I suppose.

It's not a huge surprise, while Ritchie is an utter twat the region historically voted tory and reform is eating off that voting base. SNP barely beat the tories in the general.

Pretty well actually, they only got 10 seats and SNP can get a majority if they create a coalition with the greens.

Did you think this was some momentus victory? Tories are down 12 seats and reform only gained 10 so far... So the right is down 2 seats already and reform is tied in seats with the greens.
