Salt n Vinegar Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Remarkably few unionist sorts posting today. Maybe they are following BoJo's advice and are staying at home to protect the NHS. Good on 'em I say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Polling station was busy, no queues outside but the it’s quite a quiet place anyway. Two votes SNP/Green (Angus), girlfriend had to be reminded which vote went for the list, but she did well.Met a girl I went to school with outside after voting, she’s Ex Forces so thought she’d be a Unionist type, but pleased to hear she also voted SNP/ Green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't like the grief they'd get if they were openly Tories, they are too into the Chelsea Tractors to vote Green, they are too worried about house prices to vote Labour and are too gutless to vote SNP. So they vote for a Libdem who sounds like a Tory. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a relatively affluent area, or at least lots of it is, which tends to be where the unionists are best supported I think. For reasons which I’m not certain of, the Lib Dem’s are the party round here which the unionists have rallied round. A huge proportion of the Lib Dem vote here would vote for either Labour or the Tories if they lived somewhere else. FWIW, 2x SNP/Green from my Edinburgh West abode.

It's a very apt description. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) 2 x SNP/Green in Edinburgh Pentlands Edited May 6, 2021 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 2 x SNP/ Green from my household or at least that's my mum's assured me has went on. Might well be 4 votes for the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 SNP / Green for me in a couple of hours when I finish work. I spoke to my mum earlier and her and my stepdad will be SNP / SNP which is fair enough really since they were still Labour / No voters in 2014. Did try to give them a bit more info on the Greens but not disappointed in their choices these days regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betting means nothing. They don't have special inside knowledge or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookies job is to balance the books for the bets and earn a big wad.

One bet either way can push the odds quite far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Just back. Voted SNP/ALBA. Got a great feeling. We can do this. Edited May 6, 2021 by Stormzy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that the odds are being affected by unionist bears eejits with more money than sense. The bookies went from Trump 1/5 to Biden odds on in like 3 hours in November, they know nothing. I’ve just voted SNP/Green in Glasgow Anniesland. Struggled to get the list paper into the ballot box cause of how big it was. Also Glasgow Anniesland is a ridiculous name for the constituency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I can remember Salmond on TV in the early hours of the brexit count saying you could still gert a bet on leave, as remain was still expected to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
