I thought it might be interesting to see how PH in Scotland votes and how different it is to the rest of the UK.
I have voted already by post so I have voted on here, please do not vote on here until you have voted for real, thanks.
The purpose of this pole is purely to find out how Phers in Scotland voted as a group, not individually, it is not intended to cause a political row, please be civil and respect the fact that other peoples opinions may differ from yours.

I'm in Ochill & South Perthshire - Choice of SNP or Conservatives to oust Labour from the seat. Tactically I probably ought to vote SNP even though I'm not a nationalist. (What a crazy electoral system).

I am in Perth and North Perthshire which is the Tories number one target seat in Scotland but unfortunately I cannot see them beating the SNP this time..

Here Here. The best bit is that she still believes she did no harm to the UK during her role.

I am a huge fan of Maggie Thatcher when she was at her best and I am proud to say I voted for her every time I could.
Maggie just had to deal with the mess left by the previous Labour government, which all sounds rather familiar.
Unfortunately I do not see anybody as capable as her coming along to sort out the mess this time.

Little o/t, but I had the opportunity to run down Alex Salmond yesterday. I was behind a stickered up 4x4 yesterday, with SNP flags and a tannoy. Didn't think too much of it until it pulled up in front as I was sitting at the lights, and Mr Salmond gets out with his entourage right next to me. He must have been campaigning in Glasgow yesterday. I'd have had to go through a red light to drive into him though, and of course that's against the law wink

No harm in having a bit of political discussion as long as people keep it civil and I do think the results of the poll could be interesting.

Struggle to believe this anti-Maggie vitriol is still considered reasonable grounds for never voting conservative.

Presumably you also dont drive German cars cause of what they got up to 1939-1945?

Gordon Brown's AIDS >> Maggie's Chickenpox.

Big problem with voting SNP to oust Labour is that'll give those fktards more power...
