It would be funny if the SNP dropped below 40% of the vote and got less than half the seats in Scotland - 29 seats.

This would be a pretty amazing result for Bozza. There's potential that we could see the Tories gain more seats and get ~30% of the vote.0

If the SNP get enough votes to run Scotland, then that's enough votes to go for a second referendum.

I have seen anything in the Conservatives' manifesto yet that will help disabled people other than free parking at hospitals. The Labour Party's manifesto had a whole section on it. It is a shame that some of Labour's better ideas, such as increasing the carer's allowance, were buried under an avalanche of "if it moves, nationalise it" proposals.1

They won the last Hollyrood election. They should get a referendum every time they do that if they have the votes. It’s for the Scots to decide whether that gets boring or wasteful.Casino_Royale said:

"So is the biggest non-Parliamentary influence on the manifesto of all: Dominic Cummings. These provincial voters are the people who were targeted by Vote Leave to deliver the referendum result. Cummings has been light touch during this campaign – barely visible; hidden away: no public appearances, or staff briefings designed to be leaked.
But his influence is everywhere. Last week’s rejection of a corporation tax cut; the NIC proposal; the absence to date at least of any commitment on inheritance tax…all this is part of a plan to be seen as the real People’s Party. In economic terms, it falls short. In political ones, it seems to be working."

Indeed, the SNP could conceivably be seeing a lot of the vote increase coming in Labour held seats meaning we might get an SNP -> Con swing elsewhere.Artist said:

What is the current equivalent of gay marriage? What policy could they offer?CorrectHorseBattery said:
I think under Cameron they at least tried to be moderate and propose some policies like gay marriage, etc. but they're not even trying anymore.Floater said:
LOL - they could have given you a ferrari and you would still say no.CorrectHorseBattery said:I as a young person have received no reason for me to vote Tory, thanks Johnson
We all know who you prefer
In a way I kind of respect them for that - but it does make my decision very easy.
Having said that, I live in one of the safest Tory seats in the country, so my vote is fairly useless. Think I will have to vote Lib Dem tactically.
But they seem to be in denial on this issue even when the ONS gives them tens of billions to take some action.
They obviously do it wisely because they know young people don't vote, so it doesn't impact their voting behaviour.
But from a moral level, I can't blame people for feeling hard done by, if I am honest.
