Andrew McFadyen and some other political analysts have
predicted that the future of the United Kingdom may be at risk, should the
Conservatives win in the June 8 snap general election in England.
So far in Scotland, Theresa May’s soundbite “now is not the
time” has become a popular phrase in Scotland. That was the exact phrase she
used, while making her rejection to any call for a second indyref for Scotland.
According to a top source, the Conservatives are so
desperate to build stumbling blocks against the SNP in order to ensure another
independence referendum is not successfully held. Thus they reasoned that the
best way to achieve that is to involve the electorates.
Meanwhile, pro-union politicians have also adopted "divisive
referendum" as another linked phrase. The words are always spoken together
as a reminder to the people of Scotland concerning the disadvantages of another
indyref.
Interestingly, the SNP is also asking the PM, that if "now
is not the time" for a referendum, why is it the right time for a General
Election?
Analysts are of the opinion that the fourth-coming general
election will act as a acid test for the various political parties and their
leaders.
Presently in Scotland, the Tories are of high expectation to
regain ground. Just as some surveys have favoured Ruth Davidson as the most
accepted politician in the country.
On the hand, the Conservatives should fear the reaction of
voters who believed Theresa May when she said Scotland was not ready for
another divisive campaign. As a result, the SNP will spend the next seven weeks
turning her own words back at her.
Nicola Sturgeon is defending an incredibly high base, with
56 out of 59 seats in Scotland.
If she comes even close then she will be knocking down the
door of Downing Street and her demands will be much more difficult to resist.
In these circumstances, a good result for the Conservatives
in England could be a bad result for the UK.
Putting Labour out of power for a generation would tell
Scots that if they want a different type of politics they have to vote for
independence.
A bigger majority means Theresa May could eventually end up
leading a smaller country.
