Not sure the numbers above are any better... I saw that as well. He was getting grief because his results made Alba's results look worse than they were because he didn't include a caveat about Alba not standing someone in every ward so their results looked worse even though everyone they did stand in each ward did absolutely appallingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Fraserburgh is understandable apart from them being generally a bit weird, the Alba candidate had been a councillor there for 38 years before switching from SNP to ALBA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best bit was when he tried to explain away his absolute shoeing (274 votes) by them being ‘the new kids on the block’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Angus moves from Tory/Independent to SNP control as Carnoustie's two independents form an alliance with the 13 SNP Councillors, meaning an end to the five year reign of one of the least competent, highly misogynistic and thoroughly embarrassing administrations in living memory. Being led by a drunk didn't help either tbh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albus Bulbasaur Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Looking like the SBC is likely to be a Conservative administration. Is it true they're set to be the only Tory run council in Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voting for the candidate, not the party? Possibly. My old man’s not fully sold on independence but has been an SNP voter since Blair jettisoned Clause 4. He will sometimes go for independents at council elections tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth840 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 And the council elections have passed. How much closer to Independence are we now? Results are still the same as before, and before anyone goes (yawn) it is a local election, explain how much closer we have got to Independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't YOU explain how electing even, say 40 Alba councillors/genital inspectors in a local election would do a single fucking thing to advance the cause of independence. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
