UKIP/Greens will get around 20% of the votes, yet receive 5 seats

SNP will get around 4% of the vote and receive 50 seats.

Democracy?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


It's the favoured system of the two biggest parties at Westminster, isn't it? SNP have always opposed the first past the post system.
Didn't the electorate reject the chance to change this just a few years ago?

Personally I don't think either the SNP or Labour work for the working man, they are (and it's not necessarily a bad thing) working for the unemployed and benefits sector of society.

Couldn't be more Wrong :shock:

Free university is one of the SNP flagship policies, benefits many children from working class to middle income earners, then there's the council tax freeze and free prescriptions, also free loft installation and a grant for electric charging points if you buy an electric vehicle :wink:

Working for the poor and un-employed is outwith our control as Welfare is not devolved but the SNP do stand against extreme austerity :wink:
