Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since they finally managed to oust Sturgeon.
I will also never vote Labour, they have no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too.
I once voted for Lib Dem and we ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my vote didn’t matter there.)
I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a wasted vote here.
It’s just bizarre to me that Westminster’s voting system is such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered normal?
Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive about it since that is what they want us to be.
Does it fuck. I am Scottish, not some Russian bot.
The Russians already won when they convinced the plebs to vote for Brexit to separate the UK the EU as they planned.
Indicating I would consider spoiling my ballot, then outlining detailed reasons as to why based on my local choices, should really tell you everything you need to know.

Well, shit. I just looked up the definition and never knew it was actually slang to refer to the lower class. My (low class) dad always used it as “idiot” and I never questioned it before. The more you know.
So stand up and run yourself, or spread the message of dissent. I think Labour are a lot better than the Tories, who are a total goon squad of moral and financial corruption. The SNP has wrecked many things in their pursuit of power but done little to actually help the country (Scotland). I saw the education system wrecked while I lived there. The police command concentrated in Glasgow was also ridiculous, instead of locally knowledgeable groups able to judge things for themselves.
