How many political parties have you voted for.


Recommended Posts

2 parties.

I was first able to vote in 2010. My dad and Grandad who are both die in the wool conservatives managed to persuade me I was better voting Tory and I went along with it.

Voted Tory and was a strong No for independence, until 2013 when I lost my job and realised how corrupt the UK was.

After that I swapped to Yes and began backing the SNP.

In all honesty, the SNP are a means to an end for me. I fucking hate the Tories, if I didn’t need to vote SNP to stop the Tories taking Perth I’d probably go Green.

I don't particularly care for any party because they all vary on a scale of being a bit shit to being charlatans, outright crooks and horrible b*****ds with a few good and decent people amongst them.

I've supported Labour and Lib Dem for various reasons at previous elections. I echo what people previously said about Charles Kennedy being a thoroughly decent fellow.

I tend to vote SNP these days more because of my own support for an independent Scotland and opposition to Brexit than any particular liking for the party.

SNP on two occasions to Westminster, never registered in 2010 though would have likely went Labour that time.

 

For Holyrood - SNP/SSP in 2011, Labour/RISE 2016, the latter primarily because I liked James McEnaney THEN (not now) I was a bit silly...

 

Councils - I think SNP/Labour/Greens each time (2012 onwards).

 

Europe - didn’t vote in 2009, SNP both elections since.

I've sort of tuned McEnaney out lately, what's he done?

 

He’s just so fecking smug and has changed what party he supports too many times to like the guy. I also get the vague impression he caused bother at Common Space (looking at mutuals on Twitter).

Have voted for the SNP at every election since I became voting age. My first vote was for the SNP's Chic Brodie in a local election, despite him coming across as an arrogant clown. At that point, I didn't even know what I was voting for, I just wanted to go against what I perceived as the norm.

Didn't have a huge interest in politics until the Independence Referendum, at which point I started reading up on it and formulated a political viewpoint. I will continue to vote SNP until independence is achieved and only then would I consider changing. For me, at the moment, the party's policies are of secondary importance to the wider goal of becoming an independent nation, so I will stick with the party that best represents that.

Can't remember exactly but I THINK the following..........

Liberal Democrats

SNP

Scottish Socialist Party

Solidarity

Brexit Party

 

Fair to say I won't be voting for some of those parties again anytime soon.

I first voted in the early 70s, can't remember for whom, probably Labour.
Since moving over here I've voted for SDLP, the UUP (under their various names), DUP, Alliance, Independents, TUV, PUP (I think they've stood in my area, if not, scrub them), the Greens, basically anybody but SF.
The joys of proportional representation!
 

What’s wrong with SF?

Conservative since the 2016 Holyrood election as that was the first election I was eligible for. 

Not voted for anyone else... yet.
