Labour - 14.3%: Crime, Foreign Policy/Defence. Conservatives - 7.1%: Retirement. Scottish Green Party - 7.1%: Democracy. Scottish National Party - 7.1%: Economy. Still voting SNP, but a bit surprised by my results. There wasn't much at all between two or three of the parties in some of the categories, mind. If I were voting in England and their leader wasn't Tim Farron, I would probably be edging towards the Lib Dems at the moment (which I wouldn't have initially expected). SNP and Greens much stronger in the 'Who Gets My Vote' version. SNP on +51, Scottish Greens on +50, Scottish Liberal Democrats on +46, Scottish Labour on +34, Scottish Tories on -17 and UKIP on -23. I'm never entirely sure where the line is between 'Agree' or 'Strongly Agree' and 'Disagree' or 'Strongly Disagree', though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, I know what you mean, but I do hope to be able to vote Green in a proper PR election to the Scottish Parliament after indy. Until then, however, 100% SNP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 More of a Kipper than a Tory. Check me and my liberal value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Really enjoyed this earlier. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08r723w Apparently in the most recent election, the Tories took on the SNP and won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The Guardian visited Aberdeen, Peterhead and Moray - and made a really grim video out of it. Good to hear McSpreader interviewed at 2:12, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That roughly mirrors how I felt (and still feel) about labour in Glasgow. I'd much rather it wasn't the Tories benefiting from that clear sense of abandonment, but I'm not sure you can blame them for looking at the alternatives.

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I know myself, wife to be and immediate family will be pretty much unaffected by the result of this election and Brexit neigotiations. I now just hope thicko Talksport Englanders get absolutely fucked over beyond belief. It's what they deserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seats most affected by the CFP have been sacrificed by the SNP to keep their hard-line remain stance. Looks like there will be a fair number of SNP-tory switchers, mostly those who voted leave.

I liked this one that a St. Johnstone poster shared the other day, I forget who. I gave this a go and got; 81% Green 68% SNP 46% Lib 40% SLab -42% UKIP -49% Tories This is pretty consistent with how I voted in the council elections, though in the upcoming election I will once again be voting for Tommy Shepherd in Edinburgh East (partly due to the lack of a Green candidate in my area (McColl isn't running in this one), but also because I think Shepherd has barely put a foot wrong in the last couple of years).

Apparently if it is kept in the box and does not identify you - then yes. There is a story of somebody drawing something considerably ruder in the box for the UKIP candidate and it counted as a vote for the UKIP candidate.

Wee Willie Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 This is me on who gets my vote. But I find lots of the questions ambiguous. Most of them I neither agree nor disagree. Being an Independent/SNP voter I don't care whether the UK stays in the EU or leaves. I don't know enough about fracking to give a yes/no answer so I neither agree nor disagree. I stopped smoking 5 years ago so I neither agree nor disagree on cannabis And this one:The UK should maintain its support to developing countries through foreign aid. Remember when India asked the UK NOT to send aid to them. But we still did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC can't broadcast programmes if they turn into de facto political broadcasts. It's really not a big issue. That said, my experience of BBC producers is that they lack any kind of social skills whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Was greeted with a Conservative advert on Snapchat last night with Theresa May telling me to vote Tory. I've sent "Team Snapchat" a selfie of me giving them the finger and telling them to never show me a Tory advert ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
