Labour are set to lose all but five of their 40 Scottish MPs in the General Election, making it all but impossible to oust David Cameron from Downing Street, according to a new poll.
Labour are set to lose all but five of their 40 Scottish MPs in the General Election, making it all but impossible to oust David Cameron from Downing Street, according to a new poll.
The Poll by Survation for the Daily Record also found that just 2 per cent of voters completely trust Ed Miliband.
In contrast to Labour’s woes, the poll has the Scottish National Party riding high and going from six seats to 52 next year.
According to the poll of 1001 Scots, the SNP would win 45.8 per cent of the popular vote in Scotland, compared to Labour’s 23.9 per cent. The Conservatives would finish on 16.7 per cent and the Lib Dems on 6.1 per cent.
If this were replicated at the General Election it would mean the SNP winning 52 seats, Labour five, and the Conservatives and Lib Dems one each.
Further evidence suggests that Labour’s support for the No vote in the recent Scottish independence referendum has damaged their standing with Yes voters.
In more bad news for the Labour leader, Ed Miliband now has a worse personal rating in Scotland than David Cameron. Only 2 per cent of those polled completely trust Miliband, while a further 7 per cent mostly trust him and 20 per cent slightly trust him. In contrast, 59 per cent of Scots either mostly or completely distrust him.
Two per cent completely trust Cameron but 12 per cent mostly trust him.

“Well, there were Scottish people on TV who related how they were scared to say they were against the SNP – which has a history of supporting fascism (Arthur Donaldson) – for fear of reprisals.”
What “Scottish” people care to post a link? There is NOT ONE single shred of evidence produced to support to these claims. For the record Arthur Donaldson did NOT support the fascists that is a lie, indeed the ONLY MP to be interned for fascist sympathies during the war was Archibauld Ramsay a Scottish Unionist (the precursor to the current Tory Party).
“The Nazi salutes were from No supporters mocking the SNP stormtroopers who were the ones that were threatening people.”
No the nazi salutes were from the fascist and bigoted thugs that comprise the vast bulk of Unionists. Indeed the NO Campaign ACTIVELY RECUITED these bigots to their cause, for example Holocaust Denier Alistair McConnachie who was thrown out of UKIP for his extremist views was a “permitted participant” on behalf of the NO campaign see here – http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/1.592699
In addition:
The woman on the left is the Labour MP for Aberdeen South, Dame Anne Begg. She received her DBE in 2011 “for services to disabled people and to equal opportunities”. But who’s her No-campaigning pal? – http://wingsoverscotland.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/labfront1.jpg
Here he is, the same day. He’s slightly less keen on equal opportunities. – http://wingsoverscotland.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/labfront2.jpg He’s Dave MacDonald, leader of National Front Scotland. He’s not a new face in the area – he was the NF’s candidate for the Aberdeen Donside by-election last year, and he’s been politically involved with the NF in the Aberdeen area since at least 2003. It would be absolutely absurd to suggest that Anne Begg didn’t know who he was.
Still, as long as he’s not one of those awful nationalists, eh?
“The comments re Scotland having to apply to join the EU, and use the euro, came from Barroso, Juncker, Rajoy and others.”
No the comments about joining the EU came from as the article states Prime Minister David Cameron, while simulataneously his fellow MP Alistair Darling was contradicting him by stating that EU law would apply to Scotland meaning we would be in the EU.

That would be why you have the Scottish Parliament. And have done since 1997. So what are you going on about?

Fair enough. It is strange that Blairites seem to have the same attitude towards coalitions as dogmatic Marxists in the early twentieth century.
