The SNP will never be your friend, they do not want the UK to succeed in any way they want it to fail. Remember that. If the vote in 'England' dictates the outcome I will say to that, thank you. I mean it sincerely.
This election ain't even about politics in any 'class tribalism' sense like it ought to be, it's more urgent than that, and not nearly as pleasant.
On a lighter note, I feel too many are taken by the guttural, glottal stop in the way Sturgeon pronounces *Toareez*.
Jesus Christ she really hates them!
That's just how we speak up here, believe me, like so many others, her folks were one of many to benefit from the great council house grab in the 80s, courtesy of the hated *Toareez*.
In fact its 'everywhere' up here.
It can't be everywhere I haven't noticed. Sturgeon, tho I disagree with a lot she has to say, doesn't hate as you say, she disagrees and would like to debate but the Conservative & Unionist Party leader seems to scared to debate with Wood, Lucas, Sturgeon, Corbyn etc

Still the loss of jobs in the whisky industry must be a source of joy for the Brexiteers/Vote No. Shameful :-(

It can't be everywhere?
What can't?
There's barely a council house left in Scotland!
Get real, please.
As for these TV debates, anyone with a modicum of critical faculty really ought to consider it might just be one big procession of polished turds.
That's what I always thought anyway.
Scotland's economy is tanking compared the that of the rest of the UK, has been since before the Brexit vote.
We've had SNP for 10 years now.
Wonder if there's a connection.

The TV debates are important because most people probably just vote by what the editorial of the Daily Mail or The S*n says. People might get a bit more perspective from a live debate.
The fact that Theresa DisMay has declined to participate yet has committed to meetings with Murdoch and Dacre shows that she thinks propaganda carries more value than argument.

However, what really needs to happen for a more representative democracy is somehow get the under 30s to vote in greater numbers and a switch to a PR system. That's probably gonna be Labour's only chance after Sturgeon manages get Scexit from the UK.
I don't blame the Scots for wanting out. The Tories have taken the piss for a long time and no-one down here seems to be bothered. Unreal.

There's the rub though. On paper the UK economy might not be "tanking" but the reality for most people in England and Wales is very different. Food banks, child poverty, a deliberately screwed health service, overcrowded schools, zero hours contracts, scapegoating of non-white people (no, not just immigrants), terrible drugs and homelessness problems, stagnant wages, housing shortages. The English and Welsh economy is not tanking but it is certainly screwed. The rich get richer down here, everyone else certainly does not.
