This was the true begining of the end for the Tories in Scotland - and you never know history might show it as the begining of the end for the 1707 Union.
Wouldnt be too sure of that, the Tories could easily win Perth again at the next elections. Takes less than 1000 votes to win Perth and North Tayside.
Well it's called Perth and North Perthshire for a start. Tories on the doorstep have told me that they will win Perth for the last 10 years but they never have. Perth Tories are like ferrets in a sack. When Liz Smith was head to head with Roseanna she was physically shaking with fear..loved it. She wiped the floor with her. I also think you'll find the P&NP majority is over 1,500
Yes the MAJORITY. If 1000 go from SNP to Tory then its bye bye Pete Wishart. The swing in the Highland by election there was a 1.2% swing to the Tories, when the SNP are very popular.
I am sure by the next election Salmond will be revealed for what he is.
That is the most tenuous spin I've ever heard. For a start the Tories were beaten by more than 2 votes to 1 in the recent by-election. How this is a result can be skewed to predict a win is beyond me. Further more this is the Tories strongest area in P&NP. I even heard the Tory election agent shout out 'what's the point?' at the polling station in Pitlochry.
It's not spin its the truth, if there was a 1.2% swing in P & NP then it would leave the SNP with a tiny majority. Would you accept that? True or False?
As a socialist I wouln't want the Tories to win any seats, however,as a Unionist I would rather have the British Tories than the Tartan Tories.
A night to be remembered and I was there!History was made in Perth and Kinross but also in Scotland that night! INDEPENDENCE!
