If you don't care about Labour, why keep banging on about it? As a self professed Green why aren't you talking about them?

Interesting posts from almost everyone this am, good stuff. Any thoughts on the 'Tory revival' in Scotland, cos I don't really get it?

The intention in calling an election is to distance and make irrelevent the last election, and any issues surrounding its outcome, and to retain power. The means to do that is to mobilise brexit voters. It is quite cynical, really.

I think it's hard to say how many people polled are actually voting for the Tories.
