For me, I think we are going to see the SNP struggle in both elections between now and the general after next - Then we are going to see 4 years of the most right wing, business friendly, ineffective labour government we have seen in my lifetime and the independence movement in Scotland is going to rebound so hard. Keir Starmer won't be the man that loses Scotland for the UK, but he'll be why.
Pretty much agree, but I think the 4 years may possibly be 8 and in a way I don't think that that would be too bad, there'll be a lot of upset in the Nationalist movement which will take a while to settle before any serious planning, which must be done rather than just glossy brochures, can create and communicate an effective roadmap.
Surely a starmer labour will be far more palatable to the Scottish electorate than the right wing, ineffective mob of Tories that we've had the past few years?
They don’t have a penny to fight either election
Aye mate. They’re so right wing that all their Marxist (who’s a proud Jew btw 😉) policies are to be ignored.
Nae bother ya smelly roaster.
The old independence ruse that comes round every 4 years it's as if the Scottish are willing to lose the wife trying to get back at the Neighbour 🤦♂️
I kinda get the defence of kiers centrist position, but most peoples problem with him is that he has lied about basically everything.
Many I imagine would prefer a strong moral compass over caving to racists and xenophobes, which is exactly what he’s doing.
What’s the example of caving to racists and xenophobes?
@@enemywithin1295 going along with thinking that 1% of people who come to the UK is the cause of all our problems.
As well as describing 'exactly' what he's doing to cave to racists and xenophobes, could you also explain exactly why a 'strong moral compass' with no further details is a plus?
Could mean literally anything.
@@iamjurell he’s a red Tory, this is common knowledge.
He think cutting off food and water supplies to innocent people is acceptable.
How can you even remotely think he has good standards?
@@Osindileyo examples?
How long did it take from the beginning of campaigns to Britton leaving the EU?
It can be done in our lifetimes
Considering the last poll put the SNP winning 48 of Scotlands 57 seats I dont think it will make a difference. Support for independence has consistently been over 50% for a while now in the polls so despite people jumping to conclusions, independence is going nowehere and I dont think the SNP are either.
So many seem to think it will eventually dissapear, these people need to look at the demographics and realise that only voters 60+ support the union, as age decreases support for independence rise dramatically.
Polls also showed that support to remain in the EU was also consistently over 50% until the referendum.
There are literally no polls putting the SNP on 48 seats. Even their own strategy announced last autumn was 29 seats implying they expect to lose 20. There are loads of SNP MPs standing down most of whom have only been MPs since 2019 or 2015. It's unheard of.
This person is lying. I implore anyone to google “Scottish independence polling” and click the statista link. The total opposite is true. Yes hasn’t polled over 50% since 2020.
Couldn’t be happier to see him out the door.
It was an appalling piece of legislation that seemed to be full of contradictions and a dangerous encroachment on personal liberties and the freedom of expression. That was the nail in the coffin, the party seized the opportunity to get rid.
Free puddings
YAY!!!😅
These two (the English commentators), are really showing their ignorance about Scottish politics. For them to say that Independence will probably not happen in their lifetime!? What!? Maybe they should keep an eye on the polls for independence, and more importantly the polls for young people who are in favour of Independence by approx 70%. It will happen, and very likely to be in the next decade or so.
Just a thought, the next decade or so may just be the limit of their lifetime - not that I wish ill to them. Whilst the younger people are the future, Independence can only be a success IF the fiscal integrity is there to allow it and right now Scotland is having to fund a £ 20+ Billion deficit.
The polls currently are almost exactly where the were during the Scottish independence referendum. Young people are idealistic. They grow up and become more realistic. Anyone with any economic sense would see that adding borders to your biggest trading partner is generally not a good idea.
@@Retrohertzit’s about significantly more than that. I’m quite shocked that you are so unaware of the clear underlying reasons why the movement exists. Scotland have no voice in the UK, as an equal partner, and England keep voting in Tories as they dream of days of Empire, which Scotland do not want.
@@preservedmoose No one is dreaming of empire anymore - even the Tories. Jeez. Scotland is an equal partner in the sense that it's running its own affairs in pretty much every area except defence and foreign policy. Why would it have a 50/50 power ratio in the UK parliament when it's only 8% the population and 7% of the UK's GDP. Yes, the difference is really that stark.
@@Retrohertz oh dear oh dear oh dear. 7% of the UK GDP 🙄
You do realise that the oil fields to the east of Aberdeen are in English waters and therefore part of England’s GDP.
Anyway, why do the English keep voting Tories then? Look at the state of the UK. Labour? A Tory party under Sir Starmer. So, two cheeks of the same arse. Why? Because it is the only way England will vote them in. (True of Tory Blair too)
BTW 50/50? There are four countries in the union.
Scotland, despite not voting Tory since the 1950s has been saddled with the policies of a government they would not vote for - hence the drive for independence. The government in Scotland is still hobbled by the Tory austerity ideology, despite having very limited (thank you Labour for your vetoes because you thought it would make the government look bad as it is forced to use solely income tax to replace the 4 billion deficit that was enforced on them by the Tories) taxation powers.
It wont
Scotland has to get out of this !!! union
Yes! And then join the even more distant and undemocratic EU! 😂😂😂
Well said, but I think that Northern Ireland will leave first. In Scotland I always voted Labour but got fed up still getting a conservative government and it appeared no matter how Scotland voted we got whatever middle England voted for, plus getting lied too about the EU in the last independent vote and of coarse when the vote on BREXIT and that's been a disaster. Getting away from the money laundering capital of the world and centuries old corrupt Westminster is only a matter of time.
SNP have done this to themselves, how is the Union to blame ?

Reminds me of the meme of putting a stick in your own bicycle wheel:
It'll be England's fault !
Well didn't you know this was all a black-op by the UK government to scupper the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon was really an MI5 agent in deep cover. No joke that's actually a thing some people are saying. I swear some of these hard core independence supporters make the MAGA crowd seem almost sane.
Lol comments on this YT channel are moderated beyond all reason. Apparently you can't even mention a conspiracy theory even to make fun of it without getting deleted 😂

More likely yt itself rather than the channel.

I saw your comment by clicking on your name and liked it anyway.
@@dondoodathuh looks like it reappeared. It was hidden for about a hour after I wrote it
I think the best thing for allowing independance would be if in order for Scotland to have independence, they have to agree and sign up to be part of a union of countries that make up the UK. It'd be like an EU version of Britain. That way, tradewise and financiall, we would be still be in the same position but then Scotland can just feel like a separate country.
😂😂😂
There's not much diversity at PoliticsJOE is there?🤔
They do good journalism, something that is very lacking in todays media landscape unfortunately.
And?
@@Jasperyeahhh And... they're the first people who bleat about wanting multiculturalism. Typical lefties. Diversity for thee but not for me
@@EnclaveHistorian If good journalism is demeaning white working class Englishmen who are sick of their country turning into a third world slum then, yeah, they're the best
They just recite a script; “tax the rich”. Brilliant idea!
I think Laura should run for Scottish Parliament she would be a great leader
Who’s the petite gally on the left she’s proper fitttt
Independence has been dead since 2014. The SNP only gain office because the Nationalist vote isn't split and just enough to get into office over Union parties & unlike union parties who's vote has been split..but there is simply not enough support beyond that to leave the UK economy (because thats what "independence" means) and readjust the Scottish economy with oversight from Brussels to take the euro in a decade or two. So the SNP are in a loop of doom, having to obsess over leaving the UK (to the detriment of health, education etc..) but never being able to deliver. Moving forward the SNP vote is now split (ALBA) so i expect the future to have more union parties in govmt, the SNPs best days are behind them, at 17 years its been a long run. Ultimately ending in failure & of corse the Union survives.
You are so wrong on many levels. Independence has been dead since 2014. Is that why Scotland keeps voting for pro independence government? No one has to take the Euro but even if Scotland did take the Euro in a couple of decades, whats the problem? It works for the rest of the EU. Scotland has a far better health service and educational systems. than England, fact. In the EU Scotland would have a seat at the table and an equal voice which it doesn't within the UK. Lastly Independence is normal and of all the countries that broke free from the British yoke, they are all doing better and not one wants to return.
It's not a union if it's run by one country to the detriment of the other three.
@@charlesdailly7835 its not a far better heath service or education system, its Scotland benefits from the barnett formula, which subsidises the scottish government's funding on the backs of english taxpayers. Everyone hates Westminster and the tories, but why underestimate how much independence and control you already have? All the devolved nations have far more control and representation than english counties, hows it fair that you get a Parliament with 8% of the population and we get a city council? Get your head out your arse and see the reality of the UK
You may think philosophically BUT the real test is whether the public / electorate see a real benefit. The SNP and Independence are toast thanks to the total lack of ability and preparation by the SNP over the last 17 years. Scotland now has a £ 20 + BILLION budget deficit which has to be funded and there has been no real improvement in both internal and export market infrastructures, health, education and local services. The SNP have ironically set themselves up to be 'governed' by the very party they trashed - the Greens. The Greens will not accept Kate, the older SNP will not accept Salmond/Regan, so the 'favourite' at the moment is Swinney as he's acceptable to the Greens ! So the Greens are in charge of the SNP !!!
A guy named Humza Yousaf was running Scotland, just let that sink in.
What’s your point?
I am aware of the concept of names, I have one myself. What's your point?
Away with your racial shite
Ok racist
That's a brilliant observation there psychbomb, what other thrilling gems of information can you share with us ❤
Scotland has been under Tory rule for too many years, without ever electing a Tory govt. If Starmer gets in, the whole UK will know just how Scotland feels
Okay let’s use your methodology. And I’m going to own you.
I did not vote for the local MP and MSP. “No one” voted for this SNP duo. They are far left, White, Colonisers.
And the First Unelected Dictator is the first Minister in uk executive history to have a criminal record.
You white colonisers.
The arrogance of the English. You treat us as a colony at your peril !
