Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since they finally managed to oust Sturgeon.
I will also never vote Labour, they have no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too.
I once voted for Lib Dem and we ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my vote didn’t matter there.)
I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a wasted vote here.
It’s just bizarre to me that Westminster’s voting system is such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered normal?
Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive about it since that is what they want us to be.
Does it fuck. I am Scottish, not some Russian bot.
The Russians already won when they convinced the plebs to vote for Brexit to separate the UK the EU as they planned.
Indicating I would consider spoiling my ballot, then outlining detailed reasons as to why based on my local choices, should really tell you everything you need to know.
So stand up and run yourself, or spread the message of dissent. I think Labour are a lot better than the Tories, who are a total goon squad of moral and financial corruption. The SNP has wrecked many things in their pursuit of power but done little to actually help the country (Scotland). I saw the education system wrecked while I lived there. The police command concentrated in Glasgow was also ridiculous, instead of locally knowledgeable groups able to judge things for themselves.

Well, shit. I just looked up the definition and never knew it was actually slang to refer to the lower class. My (low class) dad always used it as “idiot” and I never questioned it before. The more you know.
