Gordon EF Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 That's weird cos I've actually played fives with Barack Obama and caddied for Chris Iwelumo, as it happens. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 2 hours ago, MixuFruit said: Mad the gymnastics you have to go through to depict the SNP commendably continuing Scotland's centuries old tradition of easy access to education as some kind of skullduggerous plot. Moreover if your two choices for expanding education opportunities for young people outside of Scotland in a relevant timescale are: Stay in union outside of EU with no access to ERASMUS etc. Leave union and rejoin the EU to regain access to low fee/free education across the EU. And you still pick 1 while maintaining free education for Scottish students is a disgrace you are at it. It's like I said earlier, he's lying and he knows it. He's got a sad wee playbook that has been given to him by his Tory masters and he just blindly parrots the nonsense in it. Racists and bigots are so easily swayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do keep up, Welshy. This was when Scotland was a decent place - before it was overrun by grievance junkies. I find it hard to believe there's a bigger grievance junky than yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just not go to the polling station. That's just weird. This is a fair point. We hear "it's recorded" but who actually gives a shit? It's a pointless exercise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you've achieved is some random in a polling centre will shrug their shoulders for a fraction of a second and think 'what a fanny' then move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I understand the BASE point of wanting an opinion heard. But ultimately it leads to folk not caring what you did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what constituency he’s in I think. Some of them are won by about 30000 odd votes, what’s the actual point of turning up. That and f**k knows what I’d do if I was given the choice of Tories, Sir Keith or some Lib Dem weirdo and nothing else. Doubt I could bring myself to vote for any of them. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) When I lived in England I voted Green just for a bit of a laugh. I lived in the same constituency as the BAE nuclear sub manufacturing dock and it's probably somewhere above 600 on their 'target list'. It was either that, draw a cock and balls on my ballot or just don't bother. Pretty close call tbh.

D Angelo Barksdale Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I usually vote but have drawn a cock and balls a couple of times, as is my unalienable democratic right. It's looking like cock and balls for the constituency vote and Green on the list next year tbqfhwy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that to an extent, but if you combine the two and say that the Tories are going to win the seat by 20000 votes regardless of what you do, does it make any difference if you vote Labour or if you spoil the ballot? For what it’s worth, I’d vote Green if I lived down south and they ran a candidate. Edit: I’d vote Green up here too, but where I live is fairly close between 2 candidates, and one of those candidates is Alex Cole-Hamilton so my hands are tied.

Ira Gaines Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 ALL of that is fair and I can't argue against it. And I think in Scotland, we have enough options to go with it. But it doesn't work that way in a lot of places and it's just too simplistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 This is a fair point. We hear "it's recorded" but who actually gives a shit? It's a pointless exercise. There’s a few places in America which publish the spoiled ballots and it was funny to see there was like 21 people in one county who said “I’m with her” and voted for Hillary Clinton in 2020.It would be good if they recorded the spoiled ballots so we could see what folk were saying. thats a bit mad isn't it? working in the home of votes and not liking voting.I’m a sad case who likes the act of voting and at least going to spoil it means taking part and having the mildest of laughs.FYI I haven’t spoiled a ballot yet and the one time I didn’t cast a vote was cause I wasn’t even registered 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
