tory and labour tactical voting will do that considering snp has to fight not just the tory media but also the blue and red tory parties
also there's the fact that some people just can't accept a first minister of colour

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
Their poll lead has been bleeding to labour for 3 years. There probably is a fringe of racists that jumped ship because of him, but it's got to be marginal. Given the votes are going to labour it's hard to pin it on broader culture war BS like the trans issue either.
Honestly I wonder if it's economics. As COL has bitten people are more fearful than optimistic about independence. But also faith returning to labour as a "safe pair of hands" post Corbyn?
