Lib-dem vote collapses in Scotland



What i want to know, is why the SNP are doing so well considering they're forcing through unneeded cuts and effectively sacking 125 000 people (65 000 directly)?

Same reason Labour are doing so well in the North East despite Labour councils implementing the deepest cuts, they have successfully blamed it on the Coalition.

But there's a difference, in the NE any anti-coalition votes don't really have anywhere to go apart from Labour. In Scotland the SNP can't say the same.

So they vote labour (up fuclloads) - whose doing the cuts - snp (tories down fuck loads)

I'm hoping the LimpDicks lose most of their deposits in the Holyrood Elections...

 

[weepiper]

this says it all really...

 

[Sgt Howie]

They're doing very well considering and their polling has actually gone up over the last 6 months. They're within spitting distance of their performance last time round. Part of the nationalist vote will surely be on anti-cuts and sackings so will got to labour. Looks to me like the tories are propping up the SNP rather than anti-tories flooding into them.

Well, that's always been the case with the SNP - look where their core vote is concentrated.

It's great that 8% (today/last night - 39/44/8) is now not worthy of comment..it's expected...

Some detailed YG commentary on the lib-dems piss poor polling:

In the same poll for the Sunday Times, we asked respondents [i.e lib-dems, not all voters]how much they trusted each of the main party leaders to keep their promises. Disillusioned Lib Dem voters say that they have more trust in Ed Miliband and David Cameron than in Nick Clegg. A huge 80% of this group has little or no trust in Clegg to keep his promises. Cameron came a close second, with 76% saying they do not trust him. Miliband fared the best of the three main party leaders with 32% saying they trust him a great deal or to some extent, and 50% saying they do not trust him at all.

No party approval ratings in the Sunday Times today. I am guessing Condom Face and Bumnose Gideon are not doing that well.

Nevertheless, here are some results from the ST latest YouGov survey (Source: The Sunday Times):

YouGov survey of 2,234 adults, January 27-28

How do you think your financial situation will change over the next 12 months?

Six out of 10 people believe the Met should be allocating resources to investigate the hacking affair, according to a YouGov poll for The Sunday Times. Some 71% said it would never be acceptable for a journalist to hack into an individual's voicemail.

71% of people are opposed to the government's plans to sell off huge areas of woodland to private buyers.

Finally, Ed Miliband writes in today's Sunday Times:

On the Scottish Lib Dem website is a campaign against privatisation in Scotland, called Save our Forests!. "The Liberal Democrats working with environmental organisations have won the case," it boasts beneath a picture of Nick Clegg . Which principle is there that applies in Scotland but not in England?

This is the image of the site he is referring to:

Christ that's what I call a proper collapse, the Lib-Dems got 1178 votes just 9 months ago, now they get 52.

Even allowing for the usual pathetic turnout in council by elections (went from 44% to 12 % in this one) that is really, really bad.
