Scottish Politics / Independence - Vol 12

[Klippie]

I've no idea if anyone has been around here during the day as I've been at work, you would think they would make the effort to come around the doors late afternoon and into the evening when there's more chance of getting people at home...I would love to engage with some of them.

I still fear the stupidity of the voting public who have amazing form for voting for a government who goes out of their way to do them harm...mental eh..!!!

Neither is the Labour Party.

True, maybe Champaign Socialist fits better?

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.

Or Max spends a lot of time in the garden.

I've seen pictures of Max in the pictures of dogs thread and he's a big lad. Are we sure he isn't taking care of his own nutritional needs at the expense of unsuspecting political canvassers?

If only the real candidate debates were as good.

Rogue poll. Hopefully.

Or a clever ploy by labour to scare people into making sure they vote and not take anything for granted.

[NoddyonNitrous]

No mention of confidence intervals. Probably each figure +/- 3%

Who knows… can’t stand Loose Women or Flynn, so there was no chance of it staying on that channel!

Who knew? High parking charges, bus gates LEZ, permanent building site in Sauchiehall Street makes the city centre less attractive. Just waiting for the SNP city govt to blame a long dead female PM.

I had to call in to a site on Sauchiehall St on Monday, sadly it’s an absolute dump, rubbish strewn streets and bizarre road layouts designed specifically to frustrate traffic.
It’s not just Glasgow, this template is being rolled out right across our fair isles and decimating city centre economies. The night time sector just hangs on but daytime economy is finished, just look at how many businesses only open 5 pm onwards and even then only a few days a week.

Is anybody else still a floating voter this morning? Or having real apathy at trying to decide?

I'm seriously considering spoiling the ballot paper as it's pointless otherwise, unfortunately now looks to be a nailed-on SNP win here thanks to the boundary changes.

[StescoG66]

Done. Held my nose, swallowed hard and done what’s needed to get these wasters the fk out. Hope it wasn’t a futile exercise.......

Both sets of wasters, yes, exactly (although done with a postal vote a few days ago). Fingers crossed.

Don't do that, you never know how many others feel the same way - vote!

Whenver I see someone talking about not voting or spoiling their paper, I'm reminded of this Dilbert cartoon,



Apologies for the poor analogy, but,

You didn't vote for them - 1 vote lost.
You didn't vote for anyone else - 1 vote gained.

or

You didn't vote for them - 1 vote lost.
You voted for someone else - 1 vote lost.

So go and vote. Vote for the party most likely to unseat them, there's a lot of seats where the margins are so narrow that apathy and vote-spoiling could make the difference.

(I've noticed recently a lot of comments elsewhere about spoiling papers - I think some have latched onto this as a way of helping the SNP's chances slightly, and dress it up with the usual FREEDOM bks.)

I and my OH will be doing our bit this afternoon after work to tactically vote the SNP out. However, North Ayrshire is bat st nationalist country, so I'm not expecting a good result.

If they do indeed lose their seat. I'll be celebrating Friday night with a few whisky's.
