Mutton Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 So who will you vote for in the Scottish Parliament elections? Having being a Lib Dem voter over the years, I'm swaying to the Tories. I've had enough of the Labour-Lib Dem coalition and their big government, high tax and nanny state tendencies. The SNP have no real financial credibility and their victory would lead to a four year debate on the Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 None of them. I have only ever voted once and I would never bother again. It is just a waste of time. My vote makes such a small difference as to be insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 My vote makes such a small difference as to be insignificant. Lucky we don't all think that! Which makes me wonder, what would happen if nobody voted? Would we have no government? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes me wonder, what would happen if nobody voted? Would we have no government? ....and we'd be able to tell the difference, how??

JustMe Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Sticking with Tavish this time.........note the "this time". Means I did consider changing. Off topic but so far of the six candidates for the SIC I only know anything about two and I most certainly will not vote for candidates when I do not know what they stand for.

BigMouth Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 My opinion is based on a number of factors: - Mathematical fact. The chance of two candidates having exactly the same number of votes and my vote being the one that swings it, is slim at best. All I have seen throughout my life is politicians milking the system for their own ends, so I am afraid that I have a total lack of confidence in any of them. They are not representative of the rest of us so I am at a loss as to how they are supposed to be able to represent us. Mostly it is a case of picking the best of the worst. I believe that those that don't want to vote should gain some cash benefit from it If you want to gain a vote from me don't make me a promise that you don't have to stick to, hand over something folding.

Styles Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I cant see it makeing much of a difference who gets in. Devolution has not lived up to my expectations, hope its better this time around. I think to boost voteing numbers they should have a box saying none of the above as soon if things go as they are there will be even less folk voteing as the number is falling the whole time.

JAStewart Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 that is my insignificant opinion all the same since i wont be voting myself Why not? If you have no reason: you're an idiot. I'm would be voting Tavish for all his Sakchai work, but instead i'm voting Green in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Inky Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm voting SNP because:a) It's my way of sticking two fingers up at Tony Blair and his warmongering cronies, and there isn't a Green candidate running up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
