ICTChris Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Labour win the Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig council by-election. I think this was very much expected.

MP_MFC Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) I was the first person to cast a vote at my polling station about 10am yesterday morning- 20% turnout seems high based on this.

ICTChris Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Yeah, at this level a 300% rise can usually be put down to more people ticking the wrong box. has there not been some sort of scandal in the local SNP led council that has lead to some councillors stepping down? Am I making that up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alba getting less votes than the BUP is a huge riddy. Disillusioned SNP voters seem to be going to either Labour or the Greens instead. The Lib Dems may as well give up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The Lib Dems do have areas of Scotland where they will do well - Motherwell isn't one of them. Looking at their results over the years 2% seems about what you'd expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The love a Lib Dem in Edinburgh West. Was once fertile natural Tory territory in the 70s and 80s when the seat was held by Lord James Douglas Hamilton IIRC. But voting Tory there became a real no no in the 90s as the locals decided that it was too embarrassing and that they didn't want to be seen as an absolute shower of b*****ds when the whole UK was handing the Tories their jotters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Got a glossy leaflet through the door this morning from Roz McCall MSP, purporting to be her 2023 annual report. Having read and reread it, there is no single mention of the party she is a member of. I had to google her name to see she is a Tory, but I fully suspected that by the lack of any party affiliation on the leaflet.

I wondered what party she was as well, the light blue on leaflet was the only clue as to who it might be. I had to check as well to confirm what I had already thought was the case before filing them in the paper recycling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly just over 50% of the electorate spread over 3 parties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
