LATEST POLL OF POLLS-SNP UP EIGHT PERCENT!

The latest polls have shown a rise in support for the SNP of eight percent from the 2005 General Election.

SNP Depute Leader Nicola Sturgeon said:
 "This is a very strong showing from the SNP as the only party to gain  ground in Scotland from the last Westminster election. SNP support is up 8  points as all the London parties see their vote fall.  "Voters are turning away from the 2 main UK parties and choosing a positive alternative - in Scotland this poll demonstrates that alternative  is the SNP.
 "While the Lib Dem's may fool voters in England that support is not being  replicated in Scotland because people have a more credible and attractive alternative to the failed Westminster parties.
 "Despite their high profile in the TV debates Labour, the Lib Dems and the  Tories are down on the 2005 election as Scottish voters turn against the  Westminster machine and in favour of local and national champions.

 We will show that in a balanced Parliament it is only a vote for the SNP that will put Scotland's interests on the Westminster agenda."

IS THE SCOTTISH 'PORRIDGE WOG' VOTE THE REASON LABOUR ARE IN POWER?

ANONYMOUS SAID
"Whats the matter porridge wogs dont like the truth? Labour would not stand a chance of being elected if we had an English parliament,we have suffer their shite thrust upon us because of you and the taffys,i pray for the day of an English parliament to rid ourselves of you".

One of the brave ANONYMOUS contributors on another post accused us SCOTS PEOPLE or 'PORRIDGE WOGS' as he puts it, as being the only reason Labour get into power.  Well I decided to investigate that remark.  In 1997 Labour had an overall Majority of 179.  Scotland contributed a 'net' 40 MPs.  Therefore if it had been purely an English election, Labour would have had a majority of 139.  In 2001, a Majority of 167 minus 40 from Scotland, equals and English majority of 127.  In 2005, majority 66 minus 23 from Scotland, equals an English majority of 43.

So as you can see, since 1997 had it been purely an English election, Labour would have still got in with substantial majorities.  So sorry ANONYMOUS, you can't blame us 'PORRIDGE WOGS'!  What about the North of England?

NEW MORI POLL PUTS SNP AHEAD OF LABOUR

7-POINT LEAD FOR HOLYROOD AND NECK-AND-NECK FOR WESTMINSTER


The Scottish National Party welcomed the findings of the latest Ipsos/MORI poll of Scottish voting intentions - which shows the SNP 7 points ahead of Labour in Scottish Parliament voting intentions, and just two points behind for the General Election at 32 per cent.

SNP Depute Leader and Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "This is a fantastic poll for the SNP and the Scottish Government, and hugely encouraging. We are neck-and neck with Labour in Westminster
voting intentions, and we have a substantial 7-point lead in Scottish Parliament voting intentions.

"It is 'game on' in Scotland for the General Election, which is a clear two-horse race between the SNP and Labour.  "We have more support now than when we won the Holyrood election in 2007 -the other parties are all down - and our Westminster support has nearly doubled since the last General Election.

Great news as we head into the final few weeks!  The choice in Scotland is obvious.  Labour for five years of the same SHITE as we have now or the SNP to give SCOTLAND a STRONG VOICE IN A HUNG OR MINORITY GOVERNMENT. 

ONLY THE SNP WILL LOOK AFTER SCOTLAND.

A TASTY WEE BET?

How about Labour to win the most seats at the next general election?

Most of us will I know be horrified even at the prospect. But consider this. The Tories would have to get the BIGGEST SWING ever recorded to beat Labour.

The Economy looks as if it may be starting to improve and in a years time, it will definitely have shown signs of returning to normal. THE TORIES have not as yet put any manifest commitments together and as yet CAMERON is untried.

In the recent Bi-elections in England, yes there has been a swing between LABOUR and the CONSERVATIVES, but this would seem to be down to the fact that the LABOUR VOTE hasn't come out rather than people voting COSERVATIVE.

So for Labour to have the MOST SEATS at the next GE, you can get between 6/1 with WILLIAM HILLS or 7.2/1 with BETFAIR.

Worth £20 to win around £140? I think so.

Oh, by the way, the LIB/DEMS ARE 100/1 FOR THE SAME BET!
