has anyone checked how many votes the SNP got in the GE against the Yes/No vote for Independence?

hang on



GE = SNP 1,454,436

Referendum

Yes = 1,617,989
No = 2,001,926

So FEWER voted for the SNP than voted YES.....obviously the Sweaty Socks aint so daft after all

Sure that is the way the vote went..... that was then! I would guess that If a referendum was held right now then Scottish fervor would reverse the original vote. On top of that you have the Nicola Sturgeon effect, and that at the moment is priceless.

In large parts of England, Labour's disillusioned core vote has gone to UKIP and the Greens.

I know that some will disagree but over the last 40 years or so most people have seen a rise in their lifestyle. Because of this they don't think of themselves as "working class" anymore. They see themselves as "middle class" and as such they don't feel the need for the far left, they have moved more to the centre politically. So we now have basically 3 parties trying to gain control of the political centre ground. The Tories are just right of centre and labour, under Blair moved to within a whisker of the same position and he won. So moving even the slightest bit back to the left may have suited the Labour ideologists but that was not what the voters wanted and Labour paid the price.

I doubt that they voted for a more right wing part than the Tories.

I think people get mixed up in class systems too much tbh

Its about wealth - not class - the have's and have not's.

Then you'd be wrong.
Many believe that UKIP cares about them, including the disabled, elderly and unemployed.
Many more have bought into the "bad foreigners taking our jobs/benefits/housing etc" line they punt at anyone who will listen - including the Labour and Tory parties who have both jumped on that bandwagon.

Like it or not, 4 million people up and down the country voted for UKIP. Try asking them why.

And they'll certainly be more have,s than have not,s under this Tory government !!
