Dunning1874 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think I'm correct in saying that you can leave your constituency ballot blank/spoil it and your list vote will still be counted? If so, you could always just do that if no one standing in the constituency appeals to you and still have your list vote towards the party you do care for counted.

Ad Lib Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Ad Lib's just sent his application to stand in your constituency since he'll be guaranteed of at least one vote. No. I am passing no comment on what anyone should do in West of Scotland region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they different sheets of paper? They couldn't invalidate one for nothing on the other even if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 No. I am passing no comment on what anyone should do in West of Scotland region. So the top Lib Dem candidate is a thundering arse crack that even Ad Lib wont be voting for? Brilliant I'm probably going SNP constituency and Green on the list. I have the man himself P.Harvz in my constituency, but he's got a better chance on the list and I'd rather not let labour in via the backdoor. Cat Boyd might get my list vote for RISE - that's probably my only possible shift at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipped Flake Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'll be voting SNP/Greens. I can't see my list vote helping to get another SNP msp, but I can see it helping to get a Green MSP in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menzel Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 As far as I'm aware you can spoil one, the other, or both - I ended up doing this when I first got a chance to vote back in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Did the Lib Dems change the list at all after Westminster elections or have you stayed with what was originally decided? If it is unchanged, what's your issue with Katy Gordon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Has anybody seen any poll data broken down by region? (preferably broken down by constituency and list as well). Pie & Bovril could commission one. How much does it cost? I am happy to let the money rest in my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Did the Lib Dems change the list at all after Westminster elections or have you stayed with what was originally decided? Didn't change. Would have been unconstitutional. If it is unchanged, what's your issue with Katy Gordon? I don't believe I said I had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Had two Lib Dems diddies at the door tonight... ...who were swiftly told to turn their rat features around as this is an SNP stronghold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 My list vote will be going to the Greens. My constituency vote is another matter, Fergus Ewing isn't really someone I want to vote for. I'm in exactly the same predicament. I voted for Drew Hendry at the general election but there's just something about Fergus Ewing that turns me off. As far as the SNP go he must be their furthest right candidate and arguably wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful in his political career had it not been through an accident of birth. Has it been announced yet who's even running in Inverness and Nairn? I seem to recollect last time there was only the four main parties, UKIP and the Christians (who are a dreadful, nasty, bigoted party). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
