Boris will win, and my only hope is that the SNP do well enough that the Scottish Parliament can have the numbers to force his hand on Indy 2.

He wont like it, but a big enough margin in Holyrood, and enough pressure added to the forcing of Scotland out of Europe might just be enough to let the predominantly English voters who back BJ be the ones left with his mess. Hell mend them for voting him in.

I have always supported Scottish Independence, mostly from a POV that we should as a Nation not be treated like a colony and be told what to do by a govt that sits in another country. Now I support it not only due to that, but also from the fear that we will have in charge a man who despises Scotland, has made it the butt of his jokes and who will happily allow my country to be all but an irrelevance to his cabinet and govt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This rhetoric facks me off no end.

Scottish voters have greater representation on average than English voters. Scotland has around 90,000 constituents and England has about 110,000 constituents per seat so actually whilst Scots moan and whine that they aren't being listened to, your vote means more than mine.

You're a region with a population smaller than Yorkshire and half the size of London, why on earth should Scotland have the same say as England?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are not a region dafty, we are a country.

We have been governed by Tories for a decade without them ever once winning an election here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So???

You've more representation in parliament than the average English voter.

Just because you're a 'country' does not mean your citizens have more rights than English ones.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We don't vote Tory and we are governed by Tories so tell me again about this representation.

At least you weirdos actually vote for the party that leads the Union.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because there's 5m people in Scotland and 55m people in England.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

England vote Tory and get Tory.
We never vote Tory and get Tory.

And you're point is that our representation is better but we never get what we want and you always do. Strange way to make that point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't help that you vote for a party which will never have a seat outside of Scotland
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because we have watched how schite your parties are.

Your voters are thick cants, working class people that vote for Tories. I mean you just can't out do that for stupidity

Bring on Scottish independence, do a world of good for both Scotland and England.

No point in voting folks. I work in cyber security and all our experts reckon it’s going to be attacked and rigged.

Russians are all over it

If you're an undecided voter, elect your MP not your party. Have a look at what your MP has done for your local area, and what others are offering your local area.

Your local MP will have a greater direct impact than the party who get into government.

Of course there has been interference but my point was that the voting itself is unlikely to be rigged as the poster above suggested.

I haven't voted for a major party over here in years. I normally vote for a local independent who is looking to do something to improve the local community

I'd gladly set Johnson and Farage on fire and watch them burn

You can't trust anything that comes out of the party leaders' mouths. Pretty obvious that to succeed in politics you need to either be willing to lie your way to the top (Johnson, Farage) or be extreme enough to be backed by extreme factions of your party (Corbyn).

So going to review the options locally rather than nationally.

Yip, sure he will

It's nearly as if the Tories have learnt absolutely nothing from May's tenure, backing themselves into another corner, which ultimately they'll have to cede to reality.
