AyrshireTon Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Our SNP MP, Philippa Whitford, is retiring. Voted for her replacement, but was amazed to see Reform UK on the ballot paper - I didn't think Farage's mob contested seats in a country that he was hounded out of. As this is the first election for some time that isn't during term time, I'll be up all night to see the results. Oh, and we've still got wooden booths in our polling place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could Google but I'm not that bothered. If the polling station is a primary school then I imagine most of the guys who wear party rosettes on election day wouldn’t be allowed within a certain distance anyway. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiled ballots used to really annoy me but I now get why people do it. ^^^ Voted for 2 Unlimited. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I voted SNP. Only candidate outside was from Reform and he was the double of this tosser. Genuinely looked like a character out of VIz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked my ballot three times before folding it and taking it to the box, and once after folding it, but there is still part of me convinced that I voted Reform by accident. I'd imagine that normal, well-adjusted human beings do not experience this, but hopefully some on here can relate. Same for me with all the SNP postal votes that I completed for the residents of the care home that I manage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea where he found such people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBairn Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Wooden booths Tory coffin dodgers Arsy election centre staff Exit poll Inquisitor SNP on the ballot paper First national election I have voted in since being disillusioned when the Scab Dems jumped into bed with the Cuntservatives. Voted Greens as that's who my daughter would've voted for. And the candidate is nice, hope she gets her deposit back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Really wanted to spoil the ballot, but I think it will be close here so it was a reluctant vote for the SNP, because f**k the Tories and f**k Keir Starmer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford prefect Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It's just such a depressing choice. Tories, continuity Tories, the Tory austerity party buddies, the mad greens or the Uber racists. I'd normally vote SNP but they've been treading water for years and need a kick in the baws so it was 'none of the above' from me on my ballot. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, I've been excited about this aspect since Sunak got soaked. This is the first one I've been able to stay up all night and watch since 1992. That did not go well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 A GE is the only context just now where I'd happily vote SNP because the candidate is a good guy (Glasgow South West). Anywhere else and it would be a grudging vote or some artwork on the ballot paper. Not being a colossal gimp, or a racist, or ambivalent to the indiscriminate slaughter of innocent people, I did not vote for any unionist party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Was really torn but ended up voting SNP. They're in the last chance saloon tho. Any half decent pro indy voice in 2026 will likely get my vote if we're still fannying about doing nothing about indy by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanlineayr Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Postal vote for SNP, first vote cast I've had no enthusiasm about it and it was based on the least shit candidate. Other options were, Greens, red/blue tories, Lib Dem irrelevance and Alba/Reform tinpot nuisances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 SNP here too. Drew Hendry is a good MP so it was a bit less reluctantly than if I lived in Aberdeen North like the 2019 General Election. Our Lib Dem carpetbagger turned up at my polling station with our local "independent" councillor (read Unionist busybody) as I was going in but didn't even bother speaking to me. Just spoke to the older voters going in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) A Mini Moke in every house and down with Rover There's usually some party apparatchiks hanging about at the polling station but none this time. Reform had a new looking A Board outside. If Vlad is reading this, that's where some of your money went, Tovarisch. Our polling booths seem to be made of cardboard. Ballot paper seems bigger than it used to be Gave aged Ma Bam a lift to the polling station. She peered at her ballot paper like Mr Magoo and shooed me away when I asked her if she wanted me to read out the candidates. Afterwards I wound her up by saying she'd voted for the Tory. (She voted Alba) I did consider voting for the Independent but he'd probably turn out to have been a National Socialist or something so I reluctantly voted for one of the good guys instead. ETA: two guys were going in as we were coming out- one clocks the new A Board "Reform UK? F*ck thae cnuts" Edited July 4 by tamthebam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
