New poll out that suggests that the SNP will win every single seat in Scotland:

SNP 54%
LAB 20%
CON 17%

Never thought I'd see the day Labour would be wiped out in Scotland and the Tories only being 3pts behind them...

Not sure how any government they don't support will have any kind of legitimacy north of the border.

Funny the Tory [Poor language removed]-slinging about the SNP causing instability seems to be sticking when they're the ones potentially offering an in-out referendum on the EU if they get re-elected.
The instability the SNP may cause in supporting/not supporting a Labour government is nothing by comparison to what the threat of an in/out referendum on the EU would cause, and ironically, it'd probably trigger another referendum on Scottish independence, were the Scots to be dragged from EU against their will.

For one, he says myths as if they are facts and people actually believe him. He starts the interview off by saying there is a gender pay gap, which has been disproved time and time again.

How do you know the Scots are for or against the EU, they haven't had a vote. Don't take everything that SNP politicians tell you as gospel.........

The wage gap comes from men and women going into different fields of work. Basically from free choices people make. It isn't for the same job.

So is there a gap or not?

The pay gap is generally as a result of occupational segregation, pay discrimination, the fact that women still bear the main responsibility for looking after children, or the undervaluing of women’s work.

The SNP are the majority party in the Scottish Parliament, and are pro-EU.

Therefore, an in/out referendum that resulted in an exit would give the SNP grounds to call for another referendum on independence.

An in/out referendum on the EU would also cause market instability that would make any caused by an Labour minority govt. supported by the SNP pale into insignificance.

There is a gap, but it isn't because women get paid less, it is because men EARN more.

Here's a video if you can't be bothered to go and find the statistics and facts yourself.

That doesn't mean the people are pro EU. The people voted to remain in the UK, if the UK voted to leave the EU then we all leave, no regional votes........
