Exit poll suggests Jo Swinson loses her seat

[CharlieParley]

If this is true, how many votes may selling women out have cost her?

I wonder if the Lib Dems regret saying that they don’t want GC women’s votes?

The LibDems are nobodies now.

Very pleased to see Joanna Cherry back in.

Verydisappointed to see Joanna Cherry back in.

Even more disappointed to see Mhairi Black back in.

Yeah GCAcademic - hint to the LibDems - try NOT telling huge sections of the electorate not to vote for you. The thing about elections - votes count.

DecemberDays it looks like Amy Callaghan has stayed away from the "debate" too. Which I take as a positive because it hopefully means she's (at least) aware of the feelings of women and is aware of the feelings of women. I'm sure she saw what Swinson said over the last week.

Even more disappointed to see Mhairi Black back in.

Me too.

Hahahahahah.

I was be of the 149

I was one of the 149*

Word is that Layla 'I see their souls' Moran is set to replace her.

She will finish the job of making the LibDems a total laughing stock.

Yay Kato

I was one of the 149

Are you expecting applause? You won't get it from me. Anyone who puts "gender critical" as part of their concerns yet votes for the SNP is a massive hypocrite.

Surely now....SURELY, Self ID is dead in the water.

Nickel sometimes you vote for the individual rather than the whole party. I couldn't vote for a candidate who had said what Swinson said last week.

The SNP has some strong feminist voices, probably a lot more than have spoken up.

Not in Scotland, not so far as the SNP is concerned and Holyrood can legislate on this.

I don’t think we can be complacent. Johnson voted for the GRA back in 2004. We also need to reverse all the institutional capture that has taken place behind the public’s backs.

Oh ha ha. The SNP is strongly behind self id. The SNP didn't even object to an SNP MSP calling women cunts.

If you’re so adamant that voting Swinson was a mistake, you should have started posting on MN more that a couple of days ago, and on the Swinson threads to convince people otherwise. It’s too late now, polls have closed .

Do the SNP need to actually carry out any of their woke promises now they've decimated the opposition in Scotland?

I'm only asking because they never used to be "progressive" years ago, it was a tactic to defeat Labour, which they have now done.
They're first and foremost a nationalist party, and indyref2 is going to be a hard sell. Would they focus on that and not pleasing people with brightly coloured hair?

Why is she speaking? Does she identify as the winner?*

I did actually. Don't you know about name changes? The idea of not voting for Swinson to allow the SNP to win wasn't terribly bright.

Voting SNP if being "gender critical" was top of your list wasn't terribly bright either.

I didn’t vote for anyone. I’m just glad about the message it sends to others. If you fuck about and dither with women’s rights even the mightiest can lose their seats. That’s the message the SNP will see, and all the other parties if they have any nous. Clearly Swinson had zero.

Don't you know about name changes?

I'm Spartacus and I've been here for forty-eight years. Just so you know.

Your point being? The "Spartacus" stuff is tedious.

Revoking A50 showed true arrogance. I don't think the majority of women even knew or were interested in the LDs trans stance. Sorry.
