2022 Scottish Local Elections 5th May ** Official Match Thread**


Recommended Posts

I will be numbering the SNP, Green, Lib Dem and Labour candidates, I think. Might have to think twice about numbering Labour, however, because of local circumstances. I won't be numbering the Tories or the 'independent' who appeared on their campaign literature at the last couple of national elections.

Can see the tories in my area making inroads with the promise of increased frequency of general waste collection. The facebook maws too lazy to segregate waste will lap that shit up.

Here, our recycling bins get lifted every 4 weeks. My bin for cans etc. is full after two and a half so I end up putting them in black bags and taking them to the dump.

In an objectively correct move, I’ve stuck the Greens as first preference. Followed by the SNP, Labour, both Lib Dem’s, Tory and then the Family Party loonball at the bottom.

We’ll probably be getting two Lib Dem’s and an SNP elected though.

Just voted in leafy Renfrewshire. Six candidates only in my ward, 2 Lab, 2 SNP, 1 Con, 1 Lib. Numbered the goodies one to four, and left the SNP boxes blank.

Can you genuinely look at all the evil those b*****ds have inflicted on people as ‘goodies’? That genuinely just makes you a fleg waving servile diddy.

Tbf its probably the first promise/policy I have seen come through my door for about a decade from the tories rather than ‘SNP BAD’ so progress in that sense. The council posts on fb regardless of context will always descend to quite aptly a bin-fire of comments regarding waste collection. Its always the general waste one though apart from charging extra for garden waste now, I now just don’t bother  collecting my grass cuttings, f**k the system.

Just back from drawing a (rather artistic, if I do say so myself, had the dick veins on it and everything) cock and balls on my ballot paper.

Wishing all Tory voting losers an absolutely terrible Local Election Day.

Everyone else, good luck, I hope your guy wins I guess.

Snap although I had an Alba candidate sneak in ahead of the Tories and Family Party.

SNP, SNP, Green, Labour, Lib Dem, Alba, Zanu PF, National Socialist German Workers Party, Scottish Conservative and Unionist.

An Alba/ZANU-PF coalition would be a laugh.  Well it would for me, not for the people in the Council area.

Out of interest (and I'm not planning to do this), is there anything to be gained from starting your numbering at n > 1?

I'm thinking it might in a "I don't really want to vote for these people but prepared to give them a vote at later rounds if it stops some other arsehole" way, but I can't figure out if that makes any difference to just starting at 1.

Are you misunderstanding the way it works in that you don't need to number every candidate or are you happy enough to give the lunatic fringe endorsement, however slight?

Your highest ranked candidate would be given your first preference vote so no difference between ranking candidates 1-5 or 20-25.

I wanted our lunatic fringe genital inspector to know I ranked him even below the Tory.

If you stuck a number against the Family Party candidate then you've just given them your vote. 🤣

If it ended up between the Tory and the Family Party for a seat, the vote counts against the Family Party.
