I could wallpaper my house with the amount of letters and leaflets we’ve received from them. The candidate was round as well, maybe a month or so before the election was announced. Interestingly, I also had an SNP canvasser round back in the spring, they normally don’t bother either. Very few window posters of any party around here, I suspect everyone is just a bit fed up with politics at the moment.
As an aside, what happened to the lamp-post signs that the various parties used to put up? Have these been banned or something? I know there were meant to be rules about removing them after the election etc but I can’t remember seeing any at all this time round
Most councils in Scotland have banned lamppost signs completely.As an aside, what happened to the lamp-post signs that the various parties used to put up? Have these been banned or something?

SNP accused of hypocrisy for using diesel powered election battle bus when one of their election pledges is to ban non electric new ones by next year

Scottish Labour have just been at the door.
They must really smell blood as I’ve never had a door step canvasser before.

A few home truths in The Herald today from Kevin McKenna.
"It also became clear that Nicola Sturgeon had assembled a star chamber of hand-picked glove-puppets, all of whom were using independence to maintain salary packages well beyond what real life would have awarded their mediocre talents. "
" Why should any of us continue to take independence seriously when it’s become clear that the frauds operating at the top of the SNP have been conning Yes supporters about independence for most of the last decade? They have filled the most important cabinet positions with such an assortment of mediocre knaves that no matter how much they might spend on the NHS, education and housing their efforts would be bound to fail. "

My gerbils have never been so busy. Loads of Labour & Scumbag Nats, a few token leaflets the postie delivered from other parties.
Still a mere trickle here. Since the election was announced...1 from SNP
1 from Conservative
1 from Reform
1 from some loony independent I had never heard of (although you would think he was a local celebrity going by the bumph)
5 from Labour.
If this constituency doesn't fall to Labour I'll eat my keyboard. The continuity SNP candidate is no more and her chosen replacement makes Susan Aitken look like Kate Moss (not that you should judge by looks, but someone carrying that much weight has a health problem that they are ignoring).

Paul Mack? I'm still trying to decipher that. 1 from SNP

I had Labour on the doorstep a couple of weeks ago, which supports just how hard they're working here when you consider that we're not really old school working class round here.

Mhanki Black out. Jaqueline Cameron standing for SNP in her stead. Cameron's biggest claim to fame (because she's been completely anonymous as a councillor) is that she was allegedly featured in the lyric of a Franz Ferdinand (remember them, no - didn't think so) song.
PS. The Scottish
Athol Boyd is his name. Sounds like a right working-class type I think not....

Had a leaflet from each of the parties, all of which went into recycling (apart from the Reform leaflet which I tried to burn, but it wouldn't catch so had to piss on it instead) but every other youtube video is headed up by the Scottish Labour advert - not sure if it's me or my location or what but there's obviously some money going into it.

Down here in Yorkshire not one single leaflet from any party except an attempt to post one by Jehovah's Witnesses which failed as Max (Rottweiler) was sitting by the gate. So I don't know what their 'mandate' is?
Thats because you are probably in a safe seat for the sitting MP. No.point in wasting paper.
