Zern Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 7 hours ago, Salt n Vinegar said: That poll can't be right. I read on this forum just about every day how bad the SNP are and there appears to be some background noise that Alba might do something, either positively for themselves or to damage the SNP. But...... but..... SNP first preference vote at 44%.... up 12? Eh? Alba at a hugely impressive 1%? Nah, can't be right.... After all, Dross is playing a blinder, isn't he? No-one votes SNP. Independence is dead. Don't cha know. And if a decade or more of SNP command of the majority gives you any doubts. Just dismiss it as a outlier. Like the 2021 GE results. A mere blip. Got my first bit of Tory pap through my door. NO TO INDYREF2 is the headline. No mention of Dross and no picture of the puddock. I guess he's too lightweight even for local elections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Anyone else had hardly anything through the door? I’ve had a letter from the Lib Dems with Alex Cole-Hamilton’s face on it which made me feel violently ill, but absolutely nothing else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Springsteen theme, AS appears to be not much of a local hero now . Too many song titles to consider but Independence day could feature? That's enough. I also have had few council leaflets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they say the SNP are obsessed It has a lot to do with Indyref2. Any drop in support for the Snp will be claimed by unionists to mean a drop in support for Independence. It will also be used as a reason by the Snp to postpone Indyref2 again. That is why it is important to vote for ALL pro independence candidates on your ballot, rank ALL pro independence candidates in order of your preference, even if it means ranking Alba. Vote til you boak. I have heard that the Snp are asking members to vote only for them. Why are they not asking people to vote for the greens too? Can anyone confirm if that is true? If so then the Snp are actively encouraging people to vote against having pro independence councils, the greens are standing in a lot of wards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's literally illegal for party to advocate voting for other parties. I'll rank the Tories before I vote for Alba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Alba will even get a single councillor elected. I really hope they do though. Maybe with your help? By ranking pro Independence parties higher in the rankings than unionist parties. That could work. For example, if you are favouring Snp, then why not Snp 1, Green 2, Alba 3, ISP 4 then unionists 5 6 7 8 9 or whatever. Whatever combination of Pro Independence parties you vote for, make them higher than unionist parties. Maybe then a lucky town will get an Alba councillor. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you would vote for a unionist party over an Independence party. Its no wonder that Scotland is in the fucked up state it is in. Hell mend you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell man, I knew you were Snp but I never expected that. Tories before Alba, a pro Independence party. Politics has truly become a football team.

No Alba candidate in my ward and if there was they'd be getting ranked narrowly ahead of the Scottish Family Party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
