The Tories seem to do quite well here - they are the only party standing more than one candidate. Much the same here. Too many rich b*****ds. I'm surprised I've not been run out of town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The 2 SNP candidates (sitting councillors) in my ward are the bumpkinest of bumpkins. The Green and Alba candidates look like complete gimps. By the time I realised I had forgotten to draw a fat veiny cock on my ballot it was about half 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Dunno if they've done it with council elections previously but I really miss the all night coverage and counts. Pish that they seem to have stopped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Ended up going, admittedly without a huge degree of enthusiasm: 1. SNP 2. Greens 3. Lib Dems 4. Labour No ranking for the two Tory candidates or the Tory-adjacent "Independent". I would usually have Labour ahead of the Lib Dems, but this is "Aberdeen Labour" I am dealing with unfortunately.Similar here.1 SNP2 SNP3 Green4 Lib Dems5 Labour No ranking for the Tory or the genital inspector. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that doesn’t work they’ll just have to ask again, more deferentially! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky are starting coverage at 11 and the BBC are at 11:40 so will be interesting to see what they are covering, maybe just the English results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Ended up voting for the 2 SNP ones in my ward and no other. To be fair, when I needed help with something the person who got my number 1 did help us out. The green candidate was a work colleague for years and she’s a fucking nutter. The Lib Dem one is as arrogant as they come. The 2 tories are arseholes and the Alba one I don’t know. The Labour boy was standing outside and was very vocal about looking forward to the count. Perth has been fucked by both the SNP & Tories running the council but the tories backed by the Lib Dems and Labour in Perth have made it even fucking worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like there will be much else going on. More excitement tomorrow mid-afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
