Scottish Parliamentary Elections (May 5, 2011)

Just noticed, with the unemployment figures released today, that Labour pledge to create more jobs than there are unemployed.

Not everyone out of work is looking for work etc. Besides, whether possible or not it's a good old fashioned Labour campaign issue.

Alongside wanting wanting to end an apprenticeship scheme involving 50,000 who are guaranteed a job for one that involves 120,000 but has no guarantee of a job?

A few people I know who have filled it in trying to get as 'Labour' a score as possible are quite bemused when the Greens and the SNP and sometimes the Lib Dems score higher

Not that much of a surprice. Good thing that I somewhat agree with the parties, we share group with in the EU Parliament

100 % with the Greens on economy, not really in line when it comes to the EU

[YL]

Green 59%
SNP 40%
Lib Dem 22%
Lab -3%
Con -59%

On the diagram I'm very close to the Greens.

Worth taking with a pinch of salt, like most of these things.

IIRC, The Scottish Greens are more pro-eu than the England and Wales Greens? Closer to the general position of the EGP-EFA group

for the record

green 46%
SNP    33%
L D     17%
Lab     -0% (that's what it said)
Con   -32%

I can't get it to work.

'parently it doesn't work in opera. So that's why. Using a different browser...

Labour 26%, Greens 12%, SNP 9%, LDem 1%, Tories -20%

I gave none-answer-answers to quite a few questions; some for things I'm genuinely unsure of, some for things I don't know enough about the specifics of. Test was pretty flawed though; too many questions on law-and/or-order and on minority-left concerns.

It'd become quite common in academic circles to use the term 'four nations' when doing comparative stuff.

I love how the "English Civil War" is becoming the far more poetic "War of the Three Kingdoms."

In all seriousness, paying attention to the situation in Ireland and Scotland rather than treating them as secondary theaters is a damn good thing.

[minionofmidas]

Wth is meant by "ringfence the number of police". It sort of sounds like "ensure the bastards don't multiply further", which I'd sign off on of course, but somehow I doubt that's what they meant.

[minionofmidas]

Answering no opinion to that yin, I got

Greens 48
SNP 28
LD 13
Labour -16
Afleitch & his ilk -55

If only I was that important

[afleitch]

The leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, Tavish Scott....really

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Hey, it might just work!
