Paco Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Edinburgh will be interesting. Currently SNP/Lab, and very unpopular. Things like Spaces for People, discussions around low-traffic areas, seemingly never-ending roadworks and the tram extension have seem gammon heads exploding over the city for the past couple of years.I genuinely don’t know how I’ll vote at this stage. I don’t particularly like the current council, and the leader is a wet wipe. Alex Cole-Hamilton, Ian Murray and Ruth Davidson have won parliamentary seats in Edinburgh based on an ‘anyone but the SNP’ argument so it wouldn’t surprise me if we end up with a some kind of Tory/Lib Dem/maybe even Labour coalition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being 16 he might just draw a cock and bollocks on the ballot paper. Like his dad will. Another vote for the cock and balls party from me. Just got to make sure that the drawing doesn't look like it is support for Alba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Wonder if the Electoral Commission would allow a Cock & Balls Party to be on ballot papers. Asking for a mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Got a Tory leaflet earlier. Donald MacKenzie running in Inverness Central again (whose family members seem to run in every ward they can find round here) and his main plan is to move the railway station so that a road can be built through it. No thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 What is the deal with the "Aberdeen Labour"? Did Labour ever actually do anything about them other then suspended them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly utterly no one seemed to care or understand. Labour/Cons and the liberal dems who became "independent" to help deny the city of what it had chosen. One of the Labour/Conservative candidates said people must vote for them in the local elections to put a stop to independence.

Mark Connolly Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 In 2016, the midst of that run of some sort of vote seemingly every 6 months, I got fed constantly getting mail from every party - the stuff directly addressed to me, rather than the generic leaflets or stuff addressed to some variation of "householder" - so I emailed them all and told them to f**k off politely requested that they remove me from their mailing list. Other than the replies confirming they had done it, I have received nothing since. Today, I received TWO copies of exactly the same letter, addressed directly to me, including my middle initial, from the Scottish Conservative and Unionist candidate for my ward. TLDR: Tories think permanent means 6 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLDR: Tories think permanent means 6 years Political parties get the updated voter register every year so if they delete you upon request one year they likely get you again next year. I can mark you down as a Do Not Contact on my fancy system which deletes for as long as you live at that address. Another great reason to vote SNP -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't any pictures of it, just of him and it went straight into the recycling bin after I'd read it (that'll show him!). I was trying to think where he was thinking of moving it - I assume somewhere round the back the Eastgate/Morrisons so that this proposed new road can plough straight the railway station site and meet up with Strothers Lane (this is his plan!). Moving the station would also mean trains could run through Inverness as opposed to having to terminate here...but there already are trains that do this! There's big plans for the station anyway and they've bought the TK Maxx building for a further extension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they had bought the old Royal Mail sorting office to expand or relocate the bus station to improve public transport in the town centre IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 When he ran last time I remember him saying something about how he would 'consider postponing his studies if elected.' How generous of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
