Due to the resignation of former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier there is a by-election on the way in Scotland. It looks like Labour might steal the seat which could be a sign of things to come in Scotland at the next general election.

The politics of the early 2020s feels like they can be very easily summarised by "winning by not losing as fast as your enemies" right now. From the British death-spiral of policy to the Finnish Far Right party's scandals to the Spanish failiure to form a government putting the power into Catalan Hands, it seems the best thing to do in politics right now is be an Alternative option.

1 Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14. This is the account of my conversion, as well as the three great visions of the call and commission as I received them: 2 I came to conversion on April 24, 1993 according to Daniel 10:4 to 11 by a vision in which I saw myself standing on the sand of the sea and then on top of a high pyramid and then again on the sand of the sea in another place and I saw an old military truck coming out of the depths of the sea and leave behind me. I turned and I saw that it contained living people. They were women and one of them was mixed-race. 3 Then two doves came toward me and went back over the waters. And there was an eclipse, then a man having the appearance of a Cloud and holding a sword came down from Heaven with a Lamb and the earth was illuminated again. They stood on the waters and the Lamb began to speak to me in an unknown tongue. The sound of his voice came into me and I fell dead. My soul went to stand on the waters with them while my body was lying on the sand of the sea. When He had finished speaking to me, my soul came into me and I became alive again but I no longer saw Them. 4 Then a crowd of people came toward me from the right side and I asked them if they had seen the Angel and the Lamb. They said, "No!" And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, "We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you ". I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9] 5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37] 6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, "But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: "The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life". [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3] 7 NOW WHAT DOES THIS MESSAGE OF THE LAMB SAY? This Message says that we are no longer in the evening time but at midnight. However, it is the same age and the same Spirit of Elijah, but a "New" Message which is a high scope of the one of the evening time. Zechariah 14:7 is therefore different from Matthew 25:6.

Ferrier didn't resign. She was subject to recall petition which was successful and consequently lost her seat. She also wasn't an SNP MP at the time as she was expelled from the party 3 years prior.

[@rogink]

True. But the Nats get to say when the by-election is held. They don't expect to win, so a Labour win would be bad for them. If 15000 voters say yes to a recall, they aren't likely to be SNP voters!

[@VaucluseVanguard]

No seat in the UK is held by over 90% of registered voters, so, it’s very difficult to imagine any circumstances where an MP can be subject to recall where it would not actually happen.

[@kicorse]

​@@VaucluseVanguardIt doesn't work like that. Not everyone who votes for a different candidate will sign a recall petition. Even in this very clear cut case, the 15% of constituents who signed the petition is a lot less than the percentage who voted against her in 2019.

[@rogink]

@@VaucluseVanguard Eh? Chances are she won on a turnout of 60-70%. That's in a general election, where votes are usually much higher than local, or even Scottish elections. The recall petition was signed by 15% of voters. Her 'crimes' were 3 years ago, so not even yesterday's chip wrappers. I suspect this is because the tide has turned against the SNP, more than any resentment for her stupid actions.

I'm confident that the SNP could win all 59 Scottish seats next year and Labour will still have a majority.

The only reason Labour is going to win in England is not because the people love them but because they can point to the tories and say "look we're better than those guys" but in Scotland we have more than two realistic options to vote for so the tactic of voting for the lesser of two evils doesn't work as well up here.

I view her as much less a crackpot than the kind of intolerant and radical gender ideologues, who tend to speak hatefully against & label and smear anyone who dares question or disagree with them.

The SNP leader is definitely less popular than his predecessors, but I don't feel the other reasons are so clear. The scandal may not prove too damning as SNP voters are often more interested in policy, particularly if an offending policitian is no longer in the party (like allegations against Salmond after he left). Regarding "key differences", one topic in the public discourse was same sex marriage, and while not unanimous this is already very widely supported among SNP voters so it seems unlikely to cause a rift. I wonder if this video might turn out to be a bit sensationalist after the next general election as with independence support still high I struggle to believe Labour can outperform SNP in Scotland in the near future, even though they are likely to gain seats.

[@metropolitanpolice7334]

the thing about rutherglen is we have a very old population. many of which rememeber when labour was competent and stood for something so speaking to people in my community, the census is that they're going to go back to voting labour simply because of how incompetent the snp appears to be now, regardless of how shit labour really is.

Labour does NOT need to win Scotland. I'm so fed up of this fairytale being spouted. It's basic maths; under the new seat boundaries than come into effect in October, Scotland has 57 seats, England has a whopping 543 - and ALL of the swing seats necessary to win a general election. The Tories are absolutely despised in Scotland, so are likely to lose some or possibly even all of their six current seats. For the Tories, Scotland is just numerically insignificant. Even after their "implosion" the SNP - who of course don't stand in the rest of the UK - are still odds-on to come out with ~40 seats leaving the other 3 main parties to divvy up just 17 seats. 17 seats versus 543.

@@thenotfreshprince That's a fallacy. The dynamic is different in Scotland because of the independence question. Almost half of the electorate won't vote for an anti-independence party, which means Labour is not going to sweep Scottish seats in the way they will some in England. And since ~40 seats will go to the SNP and NOT the Tories, Labour doesn't really need to win anything in Scotland (they will of course win at least a couple of seats, probably in Glasgow). But even if that weren't the case, it would still be necessary for Labour to make significant gains in England in order to win.

I live in this constituency. It's pretty much a certainty that Labour will take it. Unionists want the SNP out, so will vote for the party most likely to beat them. And a lot of nationalists are fed up with the SNPs inaction on independence and also all the nonsense that's been going on, so may well not even bother to vote, such is their disillusionment with the party.

I also lived in this consituency and even voted for Margeret Ferrier at the time even tho I never met her and actually did know Ged who I think was still the Labour candidate at the time. Most of my family voted Labour but plenty of my neighbours were just as annoyed by incompetant labour councellors and there was very little opposition to SNP. I do however think theres enough support for Labour to take it so long as they don't say anything really dumb. Margeret was not very popular.

If you’re Scottish, why vote for either major Westminster party? I’m not saying things are perfect in Scotland but it’s noticeably better than England in many respects. I currently live in Scotland, lived here for 6 years total. Also lived in England for 3 years and was raised in NI so I’ve experienced a variety of UK politics. Labour and Conservatives are so busy criticising each other that nothing meaningful ever happens gets done. In Scotland there are many things that are quantifiably better than England. Taxes are slightly higher but it feels worth it. Scotland also feels more progressive than NI & England. I don’t think the SNP are perfect but they’re different than Lab & Con and I think that’s important because Scotland really is completely different to England. I don’t say that to be divisive it’s just true. Look at NI, DUP trying to be like the conservatives and they have handcuffed the country just to avoid the nationalist party SF gaining power.

Controlled opposition

[@SpannerWorks]

Some important things to note about voting labour: - This Red-Blue swing will continue for generations until we actually have proportional representation or until we've run our country fully into the ground. It is why Labour is paranoid about showing its hand and voters are right to be skeptical about their commitment to anything. Go look at the Liberal Democrat manifesto... oh wait, there isn't one at the moment. And yet, people down south are voting them as an alternative to Tories. FPTP forces tactical voting. I don't think it's a healthy political system if you are forced to vote AGAINST the prospect of one majority party getting into power. Once you make your vote, there is nothing to hold any of the parties accountable other then their Whips and the parliamentary system. And don't think collation governments are any good, Tory-Lib Dem coallition was an axis of evil that sunk Lib Dem credibility (for those voting Lib Dem and thinking they are likely to be left wing, please have a healthy amount of skepicism). And, with the hundreds of scandals we've seen, that's not working. Europe with its proportional representative democracies look utopian compared to our 'winner takes all' donor-fest. - People are discussing in the comments about Kier Starmer and his policies. You are right to think it may be more of the same. Remember that Clause IV of the Labour was rewritten during Blair's time (i.e. basically tactically stepping away from Labour's socialist roots). Though Clause IV now does specify in principle that 'power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few'. - At best, a Labour vote is for a moderate but we won't get full re-nationalisation of everything or anything drastic. New Labour set a blueprint of saddling the fence in terms of pursuing left and right policies, and Tories got in and took that carte blanche to nose-dive as far right as possible. We are seeing the faliure of privatisation of several organisations in more recent years; particularly for example, Royal Mail, who recently came back to the government with their tail tucked between their legs begging for financial help, despite their actions as a company being 'filthy' at best. Go research some of the parliamentary committee investigations with Darren Jones as chair, you will see some unbelievable and farcical attempts at private companies attempting to parasitise our wealth as a nation just to recoup their losses. - Housing is absolutely the one fundamental thing but NIMBYism in combination with a broken planning permission system, plus the fact that no party has proposed anything radical for reform, shows that we are held in a stranglehold of a small minority of middle-upper class to upper class people treating property like their portfolio. Labour will not build more council houses. Anyone who is below 20000 per annum and is below the age of 40 will not have the means to buy their own housing, rather, your only option is to inherit. Which... guess what? Isn't an option, but a PRIVILEGE, and instead sounds exactly like the kind of aristocratic system we have had for generations in our country. We are going backwards as a country into a dark age. TL:DR: System broken, Labour gets in but is inheriting a broken country that the Tories and New Labour stewarded poorly so we all suffer. Rural NIMBYs will continue to lobby for private property ownership with inflated prices and vote against the interests of enabling people of poorer backgrounds to benefit from basic amenities such as a right to shelter. Country is a rich playground and a poor person's hellhole.

[@Direful876]

I agree with (almost) everything you've said, but rural NIMBYs aren't a fan of new housing for a few reasons, most unrelated to their property values: -Greenfield land is being bought up wholesale while brownfield land remains unused and abandoned - green space is being wasted when we have old industrial land that can be reclaimed for housing. -The places where new houses are being built aren't being supplemented with the appropriate services i.e schools and GPs that already struggle will be wholly unable to serve their communities. -Property developers refuse to build necessary infrastructure, most of the new builds have one or two small roads connecting them with the rest of the community they are meant to be a part of. This means that the new builds feel isolated and causes heavy traffic on roads that simply aren't intended for the levels of traffic that they end up seeing. I live down south where this NIMBYism is rife and I am generally opposed to it, especially when in relation to new green energy infrastructure, but this is one issue where the NIMBYs have a point. If you're going to build new housing, especially in a rural community, do it properly or not at all, because these communities are quickly being left further and further behind while their populations double and their infrastructure struggles.

Poorly researched and just comes off as wishful thinking. A big reach to say that Scotland has much power to change the result of a GE. No mention of Salmond and the rise of the SNP and then the scandal? Might have been relevant…

Nope… branch office of Westminster Labour, therefore as popular as herpes.

I hope not. But considering the crap that's gone down in my lifetime anything is possible.

Supporters of an independent Scotland especially an independent Scotland that is part of the EFTA and later EU will never switch to voting Labour. Labour has proven to be as desperate as the Tories to gain the votes of the xenophobic English exceptionalist brexit voters who propelled Johnson into power in 2019 and has said it will"make brexit work"which as we all know is an impossibility. Further Scots can remember 2014 when not only did Labour join forces with Labour but both Labour and the Tories said that they would if in power veto any attempt by Scotland to join the EU which was a large reason why Scotland a pro EU country voted to stay in the UK. There is also the matter of the semi official alliance in Scotland between Labour and the Tories. Then there is the fact that both regional offices take instruction from their London head offices and do not have any policy ideas of their own being forced to toe an Anglo-centric line by those head offices rather than choosing policies that would be best for Scotland. In all likelihood any SNP voter who switches away from the SNP is more likely to vote for the Scottish Greens or Alba but most will put more value on independence and will continue to vote SNP

You don't live in Scotland. I do, I have 2 farms and a construction company. We are desperate for unskilled labour which we used to get from Portugal and Romania. The Tories won't help - all my Tory MP does is tell me lies. Labour are pathetic in Scotland and plan to give our energy to the UK. The SNP are great and have helped in many ways. They have a clear vision of a second industrial revolution powered by alternative energy with an independent Scotland within the EU. The SNP are constantly attacked by the BBC and the British security services with lies.

Pay better wages if you are desperate for labour.

[@steverichmond7142]

@@clownofthetimes6727 I currently pay at least £2 an hour above the minimum wage and some labourers are treated as skilled on £20 an hour. In addition we provide free training at Edinburgh college.

This is the same everywhere in the UK, a friend of mine has a farm in England and has had the same issue - no one wants to come and help with the harvest because the vast majority of people in the UK just turn their noses up at a day's hard graft on a farm. Despite massive unemployment they still won't turn out for it.

​@@steverichmond7142All I can do is hope that Labour lessons the restrictions on EU immigration. The UK has been affected in so many ways by the hard brexit imposed by the corrupt tories.

Vote SNP. Labour are Red Rose Tories. North of the border Labour are actively allied with the Conseervatives.
