DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think there a sense of 'voter apathy' out there.I've seen very little in the way of election posters. Nothing for Labour. 3 cars with SNP flags sticking out of their windows and a couple of SNP posters in house windows.Haven't even had my door chapped by the parties - last time round at the GE I had Labour, the Lib Dems and the SNP. You wouldn't know their was an election on unless you were passing a polling station - it is all rather low key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 east or west for TUSC? known both the candidates for a while, both good c***s East I'd have voted same in the West - known Jim for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Willie Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Reluctantly James Dorman SNP on the first ballot (c**t wouldn't hug me outside Yes Cathcart base on referendum day despite my 'Hugs for Yes' sign I was carrying around in a stick). Hovered over STUC but sticking it to the unionists won out. RISE on the list. Only SNP at the station but flicked the Vs at a motor with Labour flag en route. The things we dae for our country :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not even heard it discussed away from P&B and the Leader's Debates tbh. No campaigners in sight around me, you'd think polls closed at lunch time. That said, 90% of all politics I've heard about recently has related to Brexit. I've seen more about the student elections at the uni tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Where do the 'donated' lost deposits from the Lib Dems go? To pay for Tident replacement. That must be about the whole thing paid up by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Turnout decent in Perthshire so far. Should be touching 60 nationally I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm aware that the majority under threat chat is almost certainly SNP initiated campaigning to get the vote out but I'm waiting to see the first few declarations before feeling too relaxed. For reasons discussed previously on here I couldn't vote but if I was able to, there's a very decent chance I'd have bottled it and went both votes SNP. Away to have a look for a Green handicap to bet under because I've a feeling that will be a common feeling across the country today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Pretty nervous about watching the results come in to be honest. What time does a Scottish one usually finish up? First one I've paid attention to. 18 at the last one and never paid any attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Voted the same on both papers. If they win and I don't see any changes worth the name then they can ram it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Final result won't be known till the afternoon Yup. The constituency votes are counted overnight so results coming in any time from around 1am (inner city seats) until around 6 or 7 in the morning (teuchters) Then they get started on the regional list. The last two elections it's been Friday teatime by the time the final regions reveal their scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
