    I have found this, she's also a far better politician than Kezia is. It's quite welcoming at FMQs when you had weeks of Kezia's mindless and ridiculous SNP BAD questions to Nicola that Ruth actually asked actual questions in relation to actual issues.

    Seems like Gove will be in for a hard time trying the repeal the Human Rights Act thanks to devolution doesn't seem like there'll be any easy way to do it without (most likely) triggering a second referendum.

    So now the real power lies in the hands of the mental Tory back benchers or as Mr Major called them the *******s!

    Well even the cabinet manual is clear that the grouping which can command the confidence of the house has the right to form a government, that doesn't mean it's the largest party so I don't see where this Tory and SLab line of the largest party MUST form a government has come from

    As a Scot I hope you took your opportunity and voted SNP! I know I'd like to vote for the SNP but there's certain factors such as them not fielding English candidates that restrict me from doing so :p

    They only use STV for local Councils they use AMS for Holryrood.

    Bristol West I'm confident they can get a very narrow majority there private polling conducted in that seat showed they're only 6% behind labour. I know it's wishful thinking but the greens have a lot of activists and with there being a lot of students too it might just happenM

    Bearing in mind the last Ashcroft poll for Gordon was January (so the SNP will have increased their lead) it's nit looking likely the SNP will not gain Gordon. http://lordashcroftpolls.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Gordon.png Tactical voting can only really hinder the SNP in East Renfrewshire...

    Quite and we all saw the results of when labour did try to imply the SNP had done a bad job at FMQs where Kezia tried to criticise the delivery of the childcare policy in Glasgow despite the fact it is the responsibility of the Labour run council! https://youtu.be/80ipn7JNOoY

    You seem to be implying the modern UK Labour party is left wing, is this a mistake? And probably still the many UKIP candidates which have said racist things considering; as has been proven above; that poster is fake.

    It's less of a possibility and more of a certainty based on most of the polls, labour are polling anywhere from 3 to 10 percent ahead of Nick in Sheffield so it's increasinly likely he will be facing a Portillo moment. To add to this the SNP will certainly take current chief secretary to the...

    I don't see how the tory poster will make voters vote tory! Salmond looks highly statesmanlike and miliband looks irrelevant, surely it'll just pull more people to the SNP?

    A party that embraced the awful PFI deals as much as New Labour didn't do that good of a job with the NHS. None of the main three parties have actual solutions for the NHS because they don't tackle one of the biggest issues with the NHS (something that only England has been lumbered with) is the...

    Yeah the safest seat in the country (Orkney and Shetland) which last GE the lib Dems won with like 70% of the vote recent polls have shown the SNP taking it! Even the AMS run elections for Holyrood (designed never to produce a majority) show the SNP winning at majority with like 75 MSPs and with...

    Well Nicola Sturgeon did describe labour as the 'red tories' when she became leader so he's backed up by the might of the SNP. Interestingly its looking like the SNP will surpass the number of Welsh Labour MPs too as recent polls are putting the SNP on like 50 MPs! Be very interesting if...

    Interesting poll out today for the Scottish Westminster seats putting the SNP on 52% with labour polling just 24% and the tories getting higher than the lib dems getting 12% https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/557900570863099906

    Surely the supine the of electoral reform will come up post 2015 when the greens get 8% of the vote and only get 1 (two if they're lucky in Bristol) MP, or when UKIP get 16% of the vote but only get 5/6 MPs.
