How many political parties have you voted for.


Recommended Posts

SNP when I've lived in Scotland, Green when I lived in Engalnd.

I've had a shamefully patchy voting record to be fair. Voted SNP in the Holyrood elections in 2007 and 2011, then Green in the 2015 Westminster election in 2015 9essentially just a wated pity vote because I couldn't stomach voting for any other paty), then voted SNP in my first Euros election on Thursday,

Labour till the Iraq War, Lib dems till I moved back to Scotland, SNP. Think I might have voted Plaid once for some election when the Lib Dems got in bed with the Tories.

Liberal Democrat while Charles Kennedy was alive, as he helped my mother on two occasions and I spoke to him a couple of times and he was a sound bloke.

After he died, I've gone between the SNP and the Green Party.

I totally forgot I bought into that shite. I think it's a case of pure shame that drove it out of my memory. Thanks for reminding me though.

Labour, Lib Dem, Green, Scottish Socialists and SNP.

Used to vote Labour/Lib Dem on Westminster and SNP for the Scottish elections. Referendum ended that though.

Also used to spread the second vote in the Scottish about as well but tend to stick with either both votes SNP or SNP/Green depending on circumstance.

This for me as well.  Charles Kennedy was a good and decent man.

Growing up it felt good having someone decent and fairly high profile as my local MP like Kennedy but then the boundaries changed and it became Lord Thurso who just seemed like one of those invisible politicians who hung on for years doing next to nothing of note at all. Parents had to contact him a couple of times  over the years and just felt like he did as little as possible to fob them off.

I get the impression this thread was started purely for the OP to declare his shameful voting history in the hopes of starting a fight  :whistle

One party for me, at every election for about twenty years. I look forward to the day when their raison d'etre has been successfully addressed.

I once voted for the old Liberal Party candidate in Edinburgh Leith and it then turned out the guy was linked to money laundering from a large scale fraud in the Moldovan banking sector.
