ADK Posted 31 October 2014 Share Posted 31 October 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/oct/30/ed-miliband-labour-scotland-election-poll-snp-win Not massively surprised. It was Labour voters who voted "Yes" while most SNP strongholds voted "No". Labour basically led a political campaign against their own voter base.

Guest MattP Posted 31 October 2014 Share Posted 31 October 2014 Could be the beginning of the end in Scotland for Labour. Could go the same way as the Tories up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopfkino Posted 31 October 2014 Share Posted 31 October 2014 The threat of Labour losing seats to the SNP is a bigger problem than UKIP's threat to Tory seats. Maybe UKIP may take votes off the Tories which see Labour sneak them in the Midlands but Labour have a worse direct threat to seats. It's not surprising, you don't have to be a separatist that wants independence to vote SNP. The scots see that they actually do something and stand up for their principles, unlike Labour in Scotland. Also it's their best way of an anti-westminster vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more the end of labour as UKIP is the end of the Tories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories said the same thing about Scotland in the 70's. Those lot have very long memories, the political landscape is changing like never before, I honestly think the old guard are on the way out and will be virtually gone in 100 years.

Tielemans63 Posted 31 October 2014 Share Posted 31 October 2014 Ed Miliband is just a total ****ing joke isn't he? He's the best thing that could happen to the Tories / UKIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisNedry Posted 31 October 2014 Share Posted 31 October 2014 Ed Miliband is just a total ****ing joke isn't he? He's the best thing that could happen to the Tories / UKIP. Tend to agree. Labour would be in a much stronger position if they had a leader with any charisma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted 2 November 2014 Share Posted 2 November 2014 The Labour leader’s approval rating has reached an all-time low – lower even than Nick Clegg’s Following news last weekend that Ed Miliband’s approval rating had dropped to a 33-month low, YouGov’s latest survey for the Sunday Times finds the trend continuing, to its lowest ever score. Having sunken to -53 in January 2012, when Labour received criticism for adopting austerity measures and questions abounded over the future of its leadership, Ed Miliband’s rating has now dropped slightly below that level, to -55. Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, now enjoys a nominally higher rating than his Labour rival, on -54. This could easily change next week, but it has happened only once before, during Ed Miliband’s previous all-time low on January 20, 2012 when Nick Clegg scored -50.

MooseBreath Posted 2 November 2014 Share Posted 2 November 2014 Good to see that Cameron's approval rating has been steadily increasing for some two and a half years. People obviously gradually feeling the benefit of a competent government. Milibland has been nothing short of a shambles for Labour. If you can't even get a decent approval rating with standard left wing false socialist promises then you know you've lost the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
