Hammer Jag Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Labour will win my seat at a canter, especially as our current MP defected from the SNP to the Tories. I will probably reluctantly vote for the SNP and their career politican, zero life exeperience candidate as I despise Labour and the Tories with every fibre of my being. But I've never been as apathetic towards an election in my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia Gentile Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 General Elections I have discovered are really a waste of time if you live in Scotland. Voted Labour during Thatcher/ Major years. Was pleased at first when Blair got in but that worked out well. Voted SNP in GE since Indy Ref/ Brexit ref time. Probably vote SNP or cock, balls & a happy ending this year. If I actually even bother. Show me a democracy that isn't actually a democracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirez Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 My SNP MP stated they were stepping down at this election. Will probably be SNP unless the candidate is a gravy guzzling Sturgeonite drone. If so, it'll be the cock and balls party on the ballot paper...don't get excited Scottish Greens, that's not a vote for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the cock and balls vote will be up this year from the last time. Would love it if Cock and Balls ended up with the most votes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Has anybody actually spoiled a ballot? I find it improbable you would meet someone who has given any count I have been at has had less than 0.5% spoiled and less than 10% of those are actively spoiled as opposed to void for uncertainty. And in case anyone thinks it results in an outbreak of mass faintings it chucked in a plastic box and everyone gets on with recording the rest. Anyway I'll be voting SNP as they are absolutely brilliant and only indepedence will bring Scotland a proper summertime national celebration day.

I spoiled my ballot at the last council election because all four candidates in my ward were beyond risible. In the multi-member ward up the road in the dirty wee Port, the incumbents were returned unopposed because no other candidates even stood. The gift of electoral choice in action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough in a council election as that's probably about 7% of the turnout in a ward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
