Scottish Referendum / Independence - Vol 8
Discussion

That's my tactical vote done for East Dunbartonshire. Been forced to select that diddy Jo Swinson to keep that other diddy from the SNP out. If there had been a 'fire them all into the sea' option though, I would have taken that.
I am in the same area as you and we certainly are caught between a rock and hard place....... We have a choice of diddies and even the independent candidate is about as much use as a chocolate dildo.......... I am seriously considering

Do I do the same and vote Labour to try to oust the sitting SNP 
?
Or do I assume the SNP will win and vote Tory so as to give them a better base to build from next time?
Or do I simply write 'fk the SNP' on the paper?
But that would be such a waste - Would rather try to contribute something to try to give the SNP a bloody nose as sick to the back teeth of them and their nanny-state virtue signalling. What does one do?? Or do I assume the SNP will win and vote Tory so as to give them a better base to build from next time?
Or do I simply write 'f
k the SNP' on the paper?Don't mind Jackson Carlaw - but Boris is a t
tDon't mind Richard Leonard - but Jeremy is a t
tJo Swinson can f
k right off........as can the f
king SNP............Patrick Harvie - that t
t would have us commuting by donkey and living in mud huts.Jeez............ what a choice!!!

I voted Tory, just to hopefully stop the SNP. I still feel very, very dirty though.
I do wonder how accurate that "tactical voting" site is/will be though.
If it makes you feel any better I voted Labour against my principles for the same reasons, so yet another PH pairing - we effectively swapped votes!I do wonder how accurate that "tactical voting" site is/will be though.
PS. I noticed that Mhairi Black was the ONLY candidate on my ballot paper with an address outside the constituency. Also no Green candidate this time unlike 2017, so even if she loses some of her core vote the pro-indy Greens will probably carry her over the line....

Voted Conservative as always intended, but tbh I’m in one of the most secure Tory seats in Scotland anyway - West Aberdeenshire & Kincardine.
Gordon here, I live in Bridge of DonIt's a Tory/SNP marginal, I haven't voted yet and I'm not sure if I will, neither of those parties appeal to me, there's no point even leaving the house, frankly
Voted Conservative in the end, no real alternative as its SNP or Tory here in moray and its either brexit or independence and i prefer independence less.
The current guy Doug Ross isnt bad,m was very good as a local MSP before he became MP and having spoken with him a few times when out in the high street, i'm happy to see him get in again, but you never know as we are a marginal seat in both Independence AND brexit,
Exit polls will be interesting.

bks.
Lots of people voting SNP who have no intention of voting for independence.
My Scottish friends are very worried. Brexit and an English Tory government led by Toffs will tip the balance just enough for independence to win and they've learnt enough from the brexit campaign to know to avoid any actual details on currency etc. ks.Lots of people voting SNP who have no intention of voting for independence.

Hopefully. My OH hates the Tories so much she voted for the SNP as her seat is a Tory/SNP marginal apparently. She says she struggled desperately with her conscience, but would be disgusted if I voted for the Tories in my constituency.ks.Lots of people voting SNP who have no intention of voting for independence.
Oops ...

If the SNP get 55, then a second referendum surely inevitable, either agreed with Westminster or not?
Er no.Wee Jimmy can "call" for a referndum pretty much every day if she likes.
She doesn't have the power to hold one.
That lays with Westminster and the Tories have said that will not be happening especially during our process of leving the EU.
Of course, the SNP could go for a UDI in the Rhodesia stylee and all that entails.

I'm completely comfortable that if it had to happen No would win a second referendum, especially after the Brexit debacle. But Boris is well within his rights to tell her to fk off (which ironically she'll be quite happy with as she knows she's on a loser).I'am amazed that the vote looks like it will increase for the SNP is there some kind of subliminal message being transmitted across Scotland that's making people vote for them its having the opposite effect on me as I hate them more every day.
Independence will never happen...forget it move on and get on with what they were elected to do, if they were doing a half decent job I would have no problem with them but all this independence crap and the constant blame game at Westminster is only to deflect the issue that they are doing a rubbish job at running Scotland.
