    Generally speaking at elections, people vote against the politics that they do not want. That is because there are very few people who are entirely ideologically wed to one party or another.

    I have had the misfortune to live in safe Labour seats since I reached the age of enfranchisement. Ironically, the seat where I was brought up is now a Conservative one, so I could go and live with my old dad and at least vote Conservative in normal times but I would not vote for any of their current incarnation. I would never vote for the politics of envy (Labour), even when their most electorally successful leader, social democrat Tony Blair, was in charge.

    <doh> More facts not in evidence.

    You could not even get the numbers right. The poll conducted by “Find Out Now” for Channel 4 asked “Would you vote SNP at the next General Election if a victory for them could lead to Scotland leaving the UK?”

    The results were “50% said yes, 33% said no, and 16% said they didn’t know or preferred not to say”. In a poll where 1,006 people (412 of whom were SNP voters in 2019) were asked, numerically that is Yes 503, No 342, Undeclared 161.

    So in simple English, asked if they would vote SNP half of those who responded (91 new supporters) said they would, despite the question including a conditional over which Westminster exclusively has control.

    It looks like the poll question was rigged to try and get Channel 4 the result that they wanted and barely achieved it.

    The German economy is heading for recession and they have to bankroll most of the bankrupt EU to buy their exports. Anybody heard when Germany is going to become totally independent of Russian gas? It is killing their much vaunted manufacturing base having to ration it. According to Bloomberg’s measure of recession, the EU as a whole is already in one.

    If Labour do not get a majority in 2024 then they can either go it alone as a minority government or form a coalition. If they get into bed with the Illiberal Undemocrats the price is probably a new EU Referendum. If they get into bed with the SNP the price is probably a new Independence Referendum.

    The day that we get Proportional Representation in this country it is truly finished as PR is the route to weak national government as demonstrated everywhere that has it.

    A problem there as things currently stand is that Labour have said no to both rejoining the EU and another Scottish Referendum. Then again, they've probably changed their stance yet again on one or both of those several times this morning.

    I can't remember if it was a spoof or not, but I'm sure I read Joyce McKinney was back in court again for something bizarre recently.
