Sweep Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I did, but only because I walked past the voting centre whilst walking the dog, and it was empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to get beaten in Scotland now as long as I’m alive sadly. Where I live is usually a labour seat . I couldn’t vote for either at present. If Ruth had still been in charge I may have finally cast a vote (unlikely but more of a chance) but Douglas Ross is a melt as well. That leaves the greens who are baby snp here and the local krank candidate. as I’ve also said if Scotland became independent I would move south of the border again as well. on the slim chance indyref2 is granted I will once again cast a vote though.

Maybe because esco doesn't like them? As it happens, he doesn't vote in general so would probably explain it. This business of voting for a mayor- don't quite get the second choice business.

The second vote business as highlighted above suggests that they don't expect many votes for any of them, and are just trying to make the winner seem more important!

You have two votes and both can in essence result in people being elected to holyrood. It’s a proper mindfuck and I honestly wouldn’t be able to figure it out if I tried. And as for kranks there is an independent candidate in Ruth Davidson’s old constituency called Bonnie Prince Bob. He was 500/1 when he first said he was standing was down to 20/1 last night 😂 Edited May 6, 2021 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
