Brother Blades Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 As the title says, why will you not vote for a Labour candidate in your area for SG & Westminster elections. I’ll keep it to my top 3 reasons, but reserve the right to add more at any point. Labour are so determined to gain power in England that they have all but abandoned the socialist principles that founded them & are all in to get the racist red wall vote. They continue to show contempt to Scotland by not understanding that we are a separate entity & have a choice other than London centric policy. Under Blair, they promised so much, but failed to abolish the HoL. Then promoted so many people to that house, c***s! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Off the top of my head- They’re pro-Brexit. Brexit is alt-right pish backed by hate groups, The BNP, EDL, Britain First, Tommeh Robinson, Nigel Farage. It always has been a terrible idea, especially for the working class. Years of abstaining on Tory bills to allow them through. They allowed the Tories to cap welfare spending. They again linked arms with the Tories against the SNP. Fucking Tory gimps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 At a local level: Bringing in some utter no mark as a candidate who lived in Bellshill for the 2015 GE. The guy was a big ginger tube who posted photos of himself canvassing all over Angus, but didn't actually speak to anyone. He'd just leaflet folk and actually ran away from one pensioner on our street who wanted to ask him questions. Bringing in some utter no mark as a candidate who lived in Dunfermline for the 2017 GE. He didn't even bother posting photos of himself pretending to canvass. Bringing in some utter no mark as a candidate who lived f**k knows where because I don't think she even did much leafleting never mind canvassing in 2019. In general: Their seething hatred of the SNP usurping them as the main party in Scotland Labour councillors teaming up with Tories in various LAs across Scotland because (see above) Ian Murray Standing shoulder to shoulder with the Tories for the 2014 IndyRef Tony Blair's war-mongering Introducing Work Capability assessments facilitated by ATOS when in power and laying the groundwork for dickensian Tory welfare reform Abstaining on the above when the Tories were in power Determination to make the economic suicide that is Brexit work Lisa Nandy being as absolute cuntress The party reacting to the prospect of a left of centre leader in Corbyn by squabbling publicly then stabbing him in the back, and replacing him with their own answer to John Major Short story, I voted for them in 92, 97, and 2001. Never again. f**k them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
