EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Nicola Sturgeon's popularity is low but that doesn't seem to have had much effect on the party's overall ratings - still polling better than the other parties. There's a chance they'd lost their overall majority next time around, but no sign of the Tories getting more seats than them. Sounds like wish-fulfilment to me.

My friends back in Alex Salmond's former constituency, where I grew up, think his Tory replacement will lose next time to the SNP. That might also be wish fulfilment, Understandable, though, as the current incumbent is a noxious wee shit.

in his view Scottish Tories were going to win the majority of the seats at the next election.

He's quite clearly clinically and possibly psychotically insane. Run away.

I'm away with three rabid hibs/SNP supporters (fortunately not just them) and I can confirm that is definitely not universally true.

As Bruce says Sturgeon may be having a slightly difficult time right now but the party retains huge support because it's supporters very much believe in the project and an independent Scotland.

We're in the Philippines and last night a small boy asked me if I'd heard of Duterte and (assuming I was also Scottish) asked if Scotland has a president.

I enjoyed explaining that because of the Royal Family it has a First Minister but Sturgeon and Duterte aren't actually all that different, both being populist, nationalist politicians...

It’s bad but not that bloody bad.

While I disagree with SNP on a lot of things and personally find Sturgeon just god awful i would still rather them over Tory’s. They took my mines, my milk and probably something else with M at the start.

The problem with a second IndyRef with the EU being at the front is due to Spain and Catalan we are no where near guaranteed entry. Far from it actually.
