When this is the kind of leaflet you're being provided you just give up. So fucking predictable. Good for you trying to keep local politics local But as long as the candidates don't all call themselves independent then it's a lost cause. I vote on party lines cos every vote for my party is a boost for independence. I suspect that most electors vote on party lines else a lot more independents would win.

And it is a poster from a political party and no an independent. Having said that I like it and I'll probably be voting for them (SNP that is and no the Tories) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you pay much attention to local politics or just regurgitate what you read elsewhere? Homework: What is the Edinburgh SNP groups position on a tourist tax?

If an 'SNP type' stands against the SNP, they will automatically be kicked out of the party. Accordingly, the answer to your question is 'No' If you were actually referring to 'Scottish Independence supporters' when you said 'SNP types', then the answer is 'Yes'. In my own ward, one of the Independents isn't a SNP member but supports Scottish Independence. She's got my 3rd preference after the SNP & Green candiates However, I note that the Unionist parties sometimes give nominal 'independents' a free run. An Argyll example would be Oban North, where Kieron Green is nominally an independent candidate. He has previously stood for Labour but couldn't get elected. However, he did win a by-election as an independent when Labour didn't stand against him. Accordingly, they're not standing against him again. I believe he's still a paid-up Labour Party member. I find it a bit sad that a once proud party is reduced to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhafc1874 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Mr Green has confirmed himself that he is still a member of the Labour party.Disingenously standing as an IND when he is just Labour in (very thinly veiled) disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Another Tory in hot water over offensive tweets. This time joined by a racist Labour candidate and member of the CWU trade union. http://www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/15236000.Election_candidates_in_social_media_probe/?ref=twtrec Quote TWO prospective councillors are at the centre of criticism today following concerning social media posts. The Press highlighted to the Scottish Labour Party that posts on Postman Garry Haldane's Facebook page had been sexist and racist. The party will now be launching an immediate investigation into these posts. Garry Haldane will be standing in the Dunfermline Central Ward local elections on May 4, alongside Fife Provost Councillor Jim Leishman. Another candidate, Dalgety Bay resident Kathleen Leslie, has been forced to apologise after a series of Twitter spats against the SNP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
