But IIRC he's not pro-SNP, he's dead set against them. IIRC he supports Alba party. (He can correct me if I'm wrong)
The SNP don't solely represent indy in Scotland. We know new parties can arise quickly in today's climate, as in the rest of Europe, plus Alba are already in existence and may start polling well as an opposition Indy party.

From a pointless duplicate thread: The NationalIf you're going to play 'jiggle the figures' with the Remain vote in parliament in 2019 and suggest remain won the 2019 vote (they didn't), then others are entitled to do this with the Scottish vote in 2024. A majority of voters supported indy in the 2024 vote, that's a majority so................... Do you need 'SNP only got 30% of the vote' explained? And please don't misquote me, it's very impolite and can end up with me pointing out the stupidity of it.

1) Who was quoting you? Many people made the same argument about Remain winning in 2019.
Why assume I'm quoting you?
I quoted you nowhere in my post nor referred to you. A lot of Remainers held Swinson's position - Yes or no? So why assume it's all about you? A lot of people made the same point you have often done about Remain winning a majority of the vote share in 2019.
And it's not a "pointless duplicate thread" - this thread has nothing to do with the topic of the other one.
Best not to refer to stupidity in posts, IMHO, when you say this topic is a duplicate of the other one.

Pretty desperate stuff Steve trying to include dont knows to the independence polling to minimise support for indy. Independence support in scotland is the highest it's ever been not just in my lifetime , but in the modern era. We can debate why that is , but to try and question that , or imply it's fallen since 2014 is laughable. As the recent election proved? Obviously not as the SNP only got 30% of the votes cast in Scotland. IE about that very same one third. www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2024/uk/regions/S92000003The SNP now have as much chance of winning independence as Scotland have of winning Sunday's Euro final whats the recent uk general election in scotland got to do with independence polling? when squirming on a hook , throw in diversion left right and centre eh? Imagine being reduced to counting dont knows to minimise independence support.

What an unpleasant turn of phrase you have. No one was 'squirming on a hook' just giving you facts. I know it upsets you that only 30% of Scottish voters voted for the party of independence but it's a fact and shows how low support for independence has fallen. Best you deal with that.

As pointed out, he doesn't support the SNP nor like their woke crapola, so saying he's upset that that amount voted for them? Neither here nor there

Neither here nor there Look anyone in Scotland that cared about independence would have voted SNP on July 4th. Less than 18% of them did and just 30% of those who voted did. Scottish independence is a busted flush and no one's dealing the cards agan for at least a generation.

I know it upsets you that only 30% of Scottish voters voted for the party of independence but it's a fact and shows how low support for independence has fallen. Best you deal with that. im sure your ego can cope. What facts have you given ? One minute telling us only one in three Scots want indy and using dodgy polls with dont knows included to reduce the indy support as though anyone on planet earth outside of the bubble you inhabit believe indy support is less now than 2014 , and then further trying to equate support for the snp with independence , when anyone who understands Scottish politics knows one eighth of the Scottish electorate that support independence sat this election out because they aren't happy with the snp leaderships inability to further the cause. Unionist parties could only garner 38% of the Scottish electorates support , in what should have seen all unionists in scotland getting behind starmer to keep the union safe. starmer got 35 % on the lowest turnout in history such is the lack of enthusiasm for both starmer and his union in scotland.

Neither here nor there Look anyone in Scotland that cared about independence would have voted SNP on July 4th. Why? Can you explain to us what the point was in voting for the snp 2024 , when they got 56/59 seats in 2015 , and still couldnt further the indy cause in a de facto english parliament? Are you unaware that 9% of seats in your parliament that represent Scottish constituencies cannot outvote 80 % ? Answer on a postcard to us mere plebs from Steves ivory tower please.

the British parties in scotland got 75 000 less votes than they did in the last general election in scotland. is this the mass swing from indy supporters to unionist parties you are dreaming about?
