I really hope so. I do not want the UK to split up. Holiday in the Borders last week. Spotted more-or-less equal posters for SNP and Scottish Tories. Selkirk had slightly more SNP, I think (but I wasn't actually counting, just impression I got).

tactical voting will be the thing..tory votes over Labour to block SNP !

[mushroom25]

unlikely. non snp parties are headed for oblivion and Scotland will be a one party state.

[murraymints]

BUT ..a vote for SNP is NOT a vote for separation !

Really? Tell that to Wee Nicky.

Both the SNP and Labour are saying they can form a coalition to keep the Tories out of power

In 1955 the Tories held half of the seats in Scotland. I remember in 1965 at a by-election they actually took a seat from Labour in Glasgow,of all places.

which is why, Eddie, Labour will lose support here, the majority does NOT want separation

I was given the impression that Labour doesn't do u-turns.

Interesting to note that when the SNP first rose to prominence back in the 70s they were nicknamed 'Tartan Tories'.

Looks like Corbyn has learned a lesson from Mrs May!

Murraymints: A vote for the SNP is not a vote for separation? The clue's in the name.

A McTory sounds like something nasty on sale in a fast food restaurant ;-)

[Jackdaw33]

LOL! Would you like Mcfries with that?
