Is David Cameron Trying To Commit Political Suicide In Scoltand

[gordiescotland1]

What he said of course was true but the way he said it or the fact that he said it at all was not helpful given the toxicity of the debate in Scotland it could make more people determined to vote the SNP

I think it's possible for PC to rise in the same way as the SNP, but so far as I can tell Welsh nationalism is just not as much of a thing as PC would like it to be. Barring a major turnaround in the next couple of days, PC might do well to win even one more seat compared to their three in 2010.

Most, if not all, of PC's support comes from native Welsh speakers, who represent just under 20% of the population.

Hang on Gromit, can you clarify, even if Cameron is still PM after the election you think that the party will dump a leader in office?

I get you Jim
I don't think it's luck tho, I think they have skilfully got themselves into a no loss situation by ruling out going into coalition with any one but willing to do vote for vote with labour which would be good for Scotland and the SNP without the (finding it hard to put into words) what's happened to the LD with the torys . If Westminster refuses to work with the SNP then it's win again as that would make them even stronger up here as even now most scots on all sides of the fence are getting a tad fed up with all the anti Scottishness shown by people south of the border and in Westminster .

TTT,
// Hang on Gromit, can you clarify, even if Cameron is still PM after the election you think that the party will dump a leader in office? //

I have explained it once. This article on the YouGov website explains the problems for Cameron if he fails to win a majority this time, which is the probable outcome. If There are enough UKIP seats and LibDem seats to vote for Cameton's minority Queens speech, then he is ok, in the short term. If he cannot get enough to Support his minority Government then the prospects look bleak for Cameron. Here is what YouGov say...

// David Cameron will be Prime Minister on 8th May. And probably 9th May. Indeed, he will step down only if and when he decides he can’t win a majority in the House of Commons for a Conservative Queen’s Speech. In that case he will resign as PM and advise the Queen to ask Ed Miliband to form a government.

The Tories, having acknowledged defeat would themselves face either a leadership election (if Cameron resigns as party leader as well as PM) or a leadership crisis. //

no you haven't explained it, answer this yes or no. Will the tory party dump a leader in office if he has failed to win a majority?
