tamthebam Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 None of the candidates in my area seem to be able to stop the ongoing Disneylandisation of Edinburgh/potholes/a cnut called "Daisy" graffiting everywhere/Air B n B*/awful crap boxy buildings going up while good ones are torn down/those bloody arsehole Deliveroo twats/ other PTTGOMN so with little enthusiasm I'll have to vote for the one that will do the least damage. *a few of the parties have promised this.

Aye. Right. Im not sure lack of achieving anything is unique to Edinburgh, Is there anywhere in Scotland where the council has been doing a good job? Im not saying there isnt but ive not seen, heard from anyone or read that it is. It would be nice to read from some posters where the council are doing well and what they are doing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that. It's why my ballot paper got ripped up and thrown in the bin. All of the candidates give me the boak for one reason or another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what I've done to be subjected to seeing his stuff on Twitter. I legitimately thought he was one of those parody accounts like Barry Stanton for a good 10 minutes first time he sprung up. Did he try and get elected as an MSP last election? Yep, guy is a complete nutcase. anyway, today, if you care about local services dont vote Tory or SNP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Just voted in leafy Renfrewshire. Six candidates only in my ward, 2 Lab, 2 SNP, 1 Con, 1 Lib. Numbered the goodies one to four, and left the SNP boxes blank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Regrettably no greens and no interesting or loony independents in my ward, so just the 2 good guys one and two and the various unionist and lone genital inspecting bible thumper blank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it remarkable that the Tories in England are going to see another big fall, remember the last election was when Mays Brexit deal was a complete disaster in the Tory heart lands. For Boris to do even worse just shows how poor a politician he is. Good to see Greens making gains across to board, pretty much at the expense of the SNP here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there were many braying shire Tories crossing over to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However also hilarious that Labour got Tony Blair to do some of their election material, a man who's opinion polling is lower than the last leader who is no longer in the party. Labour love to f**k it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a Baroness and buffoon to make inroads into the SNP and Labour vote around election time.

Detournement Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Anyway I'm off the voting again. Easy enough when you live in a SNP Vs Labour area but f**k voting for either of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 A new polling station for me this time, about half a mile from the previous one. Ironically, it demonstrates how poor (read, non-existent) the local facilities are in this area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
