SNP WIN BI-ELECTION WITH INCREASED MAJORITY AND 6% SWING FROM LABOUR




The SNP have scorched Labour in the first test after the Glasgow NE bi-election in a bi-election in BO'NESS AND BLACKBURN. 

 The results of the first preference votes were:



SNP (Ann Ritchie): 1,604 votes - 58% (+10%)
Labour: 823 votes - 30% (-2%)
Tory: 283 votes - 10% (-3%)(mince)
LibDem: 79 votes - 3% (3%) (pish vote)

A 6% swing from Labour to the SNP.


Just shows what happens when there is not a POSTAL BALLOT.  This must be sorted out before the GENERAL ELECTION.  No wonder Labour don't want to give the responsibility of SCOTTISH ELECTIONS TO THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT.

Spooks Saw your posting after I made comment. I just checked my e-mails this evening and got story there.

I don't see why we in England shouldn't have our own SNP candidates. Wouldn't it be fun to have, say, Plymouth City Council controlled by the Scottish Nationalists?

OK, OK, a bit far-fetched. But maybe Carlisle first and just kind of stretch downward in due course ...

Poor Edgar having no alternative other than the 2 Clones.

How do we sort out the postal voting? Nothing seems to be happening on that front at all.

DL. WTF ! Seems that the blogs are all shutting down. Wardog, Rantin Rab and now I can't get into scunnerts blog. So maybe you're all getting too close to the truth !

Edgar, I know that Berwick are quite keen to be returned to Scotland, they shouldn't be English anyway. I don't know about Carlisle and Plymouth, we don't want all the fucking yokels!:-)

Rosie, we can't sort out postal voting until we get the PERMISSION to run Scottish elections governed by the Scottish Parliament. The SNP should start a petition and stick it on the Downing Street petition list. In fact I think I'll suggest it.

1984- I know Rab seems to be taking a sabbatical for whatever reason but I don't know about Wardog or Scunnert, they are both and indeed Rab as well commenting around the blogosphere. As some shut down others spring up, the fuckers will never silence us!
