John Lambies Doos Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'll be voting SNP. It really is the only option for me. I would defo vote for greens the following year as 1 or 2 pref, but in this FPTP shame. Greens would be a wasted vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I moved out 10 years ago but have always had a postal vote for whichever consistency Stenhousemuir falls into (Westminster or Scottish ekections). I'm changing for this election so I can vote SNP in Glasgow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'll probably spoil my ballot with the words "f**k YOU ALEXANDER YOU CHINLESS c**t". Or vote SNP. I'm not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Really? f**k me, that's a howler! Ah well, been quoted now so no point amending it - what i meant to say was that it's been won by the party that won the most seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would defo vote for greens the following year as 1 or 2 pref, but in this FPTP shame. Greens would be a wasted vote The voting percentages across the country get quite a lot of attention (especially in relation to whether they should be included in TV debates and stuff like that) so vote for smaller parties are not wasted votes. That's a lazy argument used by the big parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Out of them all I prefer the Greens, but if a vote for SNP meant that Frank Roy loses his seat, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I've voted SNP for more years than I care to recall. I have to say I find Nicola just a tad too far left of centre for me, and also a tad irritating. Swinney too, does not inspire me with a lot of confidence. Undecided as to how I will cast my vote in May but it certainly won't be for Labour. Eta.... Or for Danny Alexander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lazy argument used by the big parties. We will have to agree to disagree here. I despise the FPTP system but it will never change under the 2 party state. In this election im afraid the only way to get a pro party in is to vote SNP. I believe the Greens will be at all debates SNP at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Really? I think he meant the party that gets the most votes in the election at large, apologies if I'm whooshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right but my point was that their vote share was a factor in this decision (that and Cameron wanting Labour to get a kicking from the Left to offset the UKIP kicking the Tories will receive).

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Fat Salmond and Sturgeon are clearly trying to destroy democracy by persuading the cybernats to vote for them in the election. It's an absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
