The EE and P&J have loved CGP from the beginning it is not surprise that they will give little time to a party trying to end the insane vanity project.<br /><br />Democracy in some form it may be. I don't really recognise it when one group campaigns within the rules and can only spend £8,000 and the other campaigns outwith the rules. This lets them buy blanket radio and PR coverage with the help of hundreds of thousands of pounds!<br /><br />It's pretty obvious that had they stayed within the rules of the referendum they would have lost.DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975889282311497314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-87352279633362982062012-04-11T12:52:48.651+01:002012-04-11T12:52:48.651+01:00Barbarian, I don't agree with you in regards t...Barbarian, I don't agree with you in regards to the SNP in Edinburgh and Aberdeen. The divisive issue in Edinburgh is presumably the trams, and as far as I'm aware, it is overwhelmingly the Lib Dems who are being blamed for that mess (although I think Labour perhaps are as well). The SNP, having kept clear of the debacle until they needed to step in to sort it out, won't suffer from that.<br /><br />As for Aberdeen, Labour are the only party trying to turn UTG/CGP into an election issue, and they're not doing a very good job of it. Even the blatantly unionist local papers have criticised Labour rather savagely for their cynical tactic of saying "vote for us and we'll scrap the project". The fact that there was a referendum on the issue means scrapping it would be undemocratic - only the most fervent anti-CGP campaigners are still questioning the result, so most of us who voted against it are resigned to the loss. Having brought the referendum about in the first place, I don't think the SNP will suffer too badly in Aberdeen, and again, it may in fact be the Lib Dems who fare worst out of the SNP/Lib Dem coalition.Doug Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017218581660887134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-24777731026959382262012-04-11T03:01:13.632+01:002012-04-11T03:01:13.632+01:00The plural of anecdote is not data, but it does se...The plural of anecdote is not data, but it does seem like Labour asleep at the wheel - again - when it comes to their famous "doorstep" in these parts. There was SNP agitprop waiting when I got back in on Sunday afternoon - I must have just escaped that big walkabout Humza Yousaf was on - and a nice red flyer (I've seen much worse stuff from the major parties) from now-independent Cllr Anne-Marie Millar turned up on Monday. <br /><br />Alas, no sign of Gordon Matheson's promises of bread and circuses yet. Better to fix the schools and hire some teachers instead maybe if there's money to spare. And if there's anything left after that, do the roads round Tradeston. There are holes in the streets there so big you could lose an elephant down some of them. But only a small elephant, so that's OK then.<br /><br />I don't know about the rest of you but I'm glad I got that off my chest.Angus McLellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238976801715524150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-73860972645292980532012-04-10T23:56:32.921+01:002012-04-10T23:56:32.921+01:00Daniel

I think they will lose a good many seats and the SNP will gain but can't see the SNP winning Glasgow control. I am not convinced that the SNP campaign has been all it could be actually. Apart from a stormer of a conference and a few people knocking on doors what have they done to really catch the eye? I'm gunning for the SNP; I hope they do it but can't see it. No surprise to me to see the Tories getting in at my girlfriend's ward. Lives in the 'posh hoosies'. She's had Tory and SNP activists at door. She's voting SNP but wasn't that impressed with the activist.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16872108662865827886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-29425764207662181822012-04-10T20:19:16.822+01:002012-04-10T20:19:16.822+01:00By no means would I write Labour off quite yet.

By that I mean - if we'd simply gone by first preferences, 76 out of the 79 councillors we eventually got would still have been elected.
