I don’t have any Lib Dems or Independents but I do have a UKIP and an Alba one. I’m not really fussed what party they are with. I just want to know what they are going to fix - roads, drainage, parks, etc. If the answer is ‘f**k all’ then I’m going to end up disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to ignore anyone who hasn't issued a leaflet or at least made a statement online, if they can't be arsed doing that before the postal votes arrived then they're probably disorganised and/or lazy so would make rubbish councillors. Only heard directly from 3 out of nine candidates so far, apart from generic national party stuff that goes straight to recycling. https://whocanivotefor.co.uk/ That site reveals that the Family Party candidate in my ward is also running in Aberdeenshire. Is that allowed? Unless it's someone with the same name I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard that for a wee while. what city on implementing the congestion charge has seen increased traffic levels? what city admin has raised no extra money to speak of on introducing the congestion charge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was better than the one where Angus MacFadyen does the Braveheart thing while folk run about the hills with Saltires. To be fair I was talking to the wife when it came on and she had me Googling Salmond to see if he was the leader, so I didn’t actually listen to it. I still have Alba ranked above the (reckless) Tories, UKIP and Labour. Edited April 19, 2022 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 The only flyer I have seen which addressed local Ward issues was a Lib Dem lady in Stockbridge who talked about pedestrian crossings, drainage issues, roads, tenement issues, etc. which are relevant to the people in that ward. She would get my vote if she stood in my Ward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Apparently the Scottish Family Party are standing a candidate called James Demare Christie in our ward. No photograph, no e-mail address, no statement, no information................no f*ck all. Interesting strategy to break into local politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always at least one candidate with absolutely no discernible information whatsoever. Considering the "Family Party" are a bunch of retrograde chancers, it makes sense that they'd have the same presence as your average independent; known in their own street and nowhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Tuesday, holidaymakers booked on the Caledonian were advised by the ferry’s operator, CalMac, to drive 125 miles to use an alternative car ferry from Kintyre." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfha Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 We've been lettered that as the three candidates in our ward are standing unopposed there will be no ballot, polling places will be closed and no postal ballots sent out. Surely the electorate still have the right to register disapproval of the candidates via spoiled ballot papers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sole purpose of an election is to see who fills the vacant place/s. Spoilt papers are only relevant in as much as they don't count towards any candidate's vote total. If folk are worried about candidates being elected unopposed, the solution is in their own hands - stand for election! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
