   I reckon the doom of the Tory Party began on 19th September 2014, the day after the Scottish independence vote, when Cameron immediately started the English nationalist push to try to placate the Tory right wing. And they’ve been moving ever rightward since. As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Looking forward to the collapse of the Tory Party, though it’s just making way for a new red-branded one to take its place.

     @Indyposterboy @Roadwarrior29 I believe that the SNP will do much better. I also think the other parties know that. This probably explains the either bad press or no press coverage on the news channels. Even the LBC NEWS gives the coverage of the 'four main parties' which they deem to include the Liberal Democrats. We will extract our revenge 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

     @chattan @Roadwarrior29 Always had a bit of a gut feeling that the SNP are not going to do as badly as some would like you to believe, and I say that as a non-member.

     @Indyposterboy Indeed and a reality of SNP being the official opposition party. Never been more important to get out and vote SNP.

     @Roadwarrior29 The chances are slim, but if the Tories are really wiped out and the SNP does better than the doomsayers are predicting, then nothing could be more disruptive to the Westminster status quo, nor as quickly lead to the dissolution of the Union, than the SNP being the official opposition. #ge2024 #IndependenceIsNormal

     @Indyposterboy @chattan @Roadwarrior29, I agree. I'm also a non member. The narrative being pushed by the tame UK media, of a resurgent Scottish Labour Party led by the "impressive" Annas Sarwar, set to sweep the board, doesn't ring true.

     @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @Indyposterboy @chattan @Roadwarrior29 he's broken his tech. I'm hoping he gets fixed. 🙏

     @Indyposterboy @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @chattan @Roadwarrior29 I think he occasionally has a wee wobble towards the Alba, but then springs back to something more balanced. He's doing something no one else is, though, and I appreciate the efforts. It's good to see different perspectives.

     @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @CloudyMrs @chattan @Roadwarrior29 I’ve been reading that too, though (until recently) his assessment seemed a bit over pessimistic.
