Constituency - SNP
List - Greens (holding my nose)

Will voting Green in the list be the best option regardless of where you live?

Is @DeeTillEhDeh ever gonnae elaborate on his "Malthusian nutters" line about the Greens. Feel like if I believed them to be to that I wouldn't vote for them regardless if I had to hold my nose or not!

More to do with some of their grassroots supporters - their actual elected reps are less fruitloopy.

I assume you're in the same constituency as me (Inverness and Nairn).  I'm sure last time there was only four candidates with Fergus Ewing getting in as the least bad of a very very bad bunch despite being pretty useless and getting in essentially on who his mother is.  If there's another pro-independence candidate running this time, I'll be strongly considering it.

Presumably you're both unsure about whether you want an independence referendum?

My SNP constituency MSP (who is going to be weighing his vote on the 7th May) doesn't deserve my vote. It's pretty much that simple.

Are the Greens standing in many constituency seats, I know I should be able to vote for Patrick Harvie in Glasgow Kelvin, but are they standing anywhere else?

I've heard on the grapevine that the Greens might be running someone in Inverness & Nairn for the first time.  I think I'm right in saying that the only other time a pro-independence non-SNP candidate has run in Inverness was the SSP is 2003.

Voting in the May election and subsequent referendum (which will not be denied) has never been more important to me.

Welcome Home.

Scotland returning a majority of pro-independence MSP’s to Holyrood, is clearly enough of a mandate for another referendum. Only flag shagging, servile boot-lickers would disagree.

Living in Glasgow Southside, my constituency vote will obviously be going to Nicola Sturgeon of the Scottish National Party. My regional vote will be going to the Scottish Green Party, for the top boi P.Harvie.

[Granny Danger]

I trust folk who are going to spoil their ballots will have the good grace not to post any more observations of the policies, and impact of said policies, of the SG whichever political party wins control.

"Servile boot-licker" - voting for Sturgeon.

Stick it to the man.
