Pick Your Poison
At the end of last year we noted the unusual and persistent levels of divergence in Scottish political polling. As polls have become much more frequent during the election campaign, nothing about that has changed. The final polls, published yesterday, are so far apart from each other that they tell us basically zip.
Analysing this mess is meaningless, so we’ll just give you some highlights.
On the constituency vote the SNP are in either the low 30s or the low 40s, either 12 points ahead of Labour, 20 points ahead of Labour, or 24 points ahead of Reform.
On the list they’re either 1 ahead of Reform, 8 ahead of them, or 13 ahead of Labour.
The Greens are either in 3rd, 4th or 6th place on the list, where they’re either 1, 2 or a whopping 12 points behind Reform. The Lib Dems are either 6th with 8%, or 4th with 12% (which is a non-trivial 50% more, arithmetic lovers). Reform have either more than twice as much support as the Tories (22-10), or just four points more (17-13).
That 10% would likely get the Tories one list seat per region, whereas the 13% might well get them twice as many. Similar maths applies to the Lib Dems, whose low of 8% definitely wouldn’t get them more than one seat per region, but whose high of 12% could – with luck and a following wind – just about double that.
The Greens’ lowest list score (10%) would garner one seat per region, but their highest (17%) would all but guarantee two per region and could conceivably get them as many as three per region. The same applies to Labour, whose lowest is 12% and highest is 19%, but who have a better chance of winning constituency seats, so fewer list ones.
(The number of Green list seats is quite likely to determine whether there’s a pro-indy majority or not, so a couple of percentage points either way could be crucial in terms of the ultimate shape of the government, though it’ll make sod-all difference in terms of independence. The SNP-Labour coalition might yet happen.)
And of course, it depends on whose voters, if anyone’s, are most motivated to turn out, and how many of the 20% who still say they’re undecided make their minds up, and whether it rains or not, and the price of cheese and whether Venus is rising in Uranus. Frankly, our dears, we haven’t got a scooby.
So we’re having the day off, and we’ll see you tomorrow for the results. Your guess, at this stage, is as good as ours.
It’s really fascinating how much the different polls seem to contradict each other right now, isn’t it? I think the constant campaigning is definitely adding to the volatility.
.
So basically, James Kelly’s “third best political blog in Scotland” has poisoned enough feeble minded Amadans into voting “SNP 1 & 2” to the point where Jimmy the Janny has let in an avalanche of imported Green woke fanatics to the disreputable Holyrood Chamber of Horrors.
Thereby condemning Scotland to 5 years of Green Gravy Train Carpetbaggers imposing their TOXIC brand of this poison. The cunning and guile of Green deceivers in creeping their 0.01% of the political gerrymandering vote and resultant harvest of MSP jobs has gamed the Holyrood system in the most poisonous of ways.
The 0.01% of toxic Greens are going to poison 100% of Scotland.
All Scots will now suffer more of the Green, “me, me, me, me” political gender bias wokery, with pensioners and disabled people are dying of hypothermia or malnutrition.
The only saving grace appears to be that a poke full of Reform MSPs will finally cause proper questions from a proper opposition to be asked of sexy Swinney and his PickleBee fanatical friends.
Utterly disgusted and frankly I would vote YES to closing the whole effing edifice of Holyrood.
Sack the currently unsackable Green klingons limpets and give all the money saved back to the taxpayers and the pensioners and the disabled… and perhaps some of it back to the actual working stiffs that pay those taxes to the gravy train express.
Get rid of all these Green and SNP-Dreghorn wasters who could not get a job anywhere, other than the easy ride that the £77,000 as a toxic MSP gives them.
Even if lots of idiots vote SNP 1+2 it won’t be because that mad wee chimp told them to.
Ultimately, who cares about the carpetbagging MSPs, every single one of them?
Because Scots are sovereign, remember?
Every carpetbagging MSP will be accountable to the sovereign Scots.
Wingers beware when going out voting today.
There are a few parties on the regional list that have similar names to ATLS so please ensure you don’t mark an X on the wrong one.
Opinion polls with no opinion. I would love to know if their is going to be an exit poll?
No Party workers in evidence where I cast my votes this morning, 100%. So, no exit poll here. We’ve not had anyone round the doors either and no posters or stickers anywhere in the town. I’m wondering just how low our turnout may be.
Sven,
Same where I live, looking on the TV their doesn’t seem to be large turn out for the SNP supermajority maybe they’ll all come at the same time.
Hi Sven,
In East Lothian where I am I see a large turnout of the elderly, including a frail 90 year old that I know.
Very few signs of young people voting early.
A very large number of candidates standing, diluting the independence vote heavily.
SNP board seeking votes 1 and 2
Looking forward to the autopsy tomorrow. All said and done I will sleep well tonight. I’ve done my bit for the homeland.
I forgot about the autopsy.
I’ve been thinking about the wake.
Bet there will be SFA put behind the bar.

I think Reform will do better than expected. Their voters are more motivated.
I spent two years campaigning full-time during indyref. I took a financial hit. Today I’m staying at home.
Similarly, I have friends and family who also don’t see the point. But in the Lothians some are voting for Ash Regan and spoiling their constituency ballot. It’d give me hope if Regan or Ewing are returned.
Cuphook
Go & spoil yer constituency ballot & vote Alliance on the Regional list. If yer still indy, that is.
Spoiled ballots are still counted & observed by all parties giving a vote to show yer dissatisfaction. The spoiled count is also read out by the returning officer.
Staying at home registers nothing but being a statistic who doesn’t vote & that means nothing. It’s better to vote that you don’t like any of them. At least it’s registered.
You seriously think any politician appreciates the nobility of your spoilt ballot?
Yes. It lets them know they were rejected. They’re still counted.
Not bothering to vote at all let’s them know nothing.
Geri you know that’s not true. No one spends as much time as you do ranting on here just to let the only voice you have go unsung.
Cuphook says: “You seriously think any politician appreciates the nobility of your spoilt ballot?”
And you clearly choose to focus on that point and avoid addressing the option of voting for ATLS on the Regional list…
That’s Scotland’s problem right there.
So you and associates are totally fucked off with what the NuSNP have become, but you still can’t be arsed going out to vote for folk that stepped up to begin to address the very reasons you can’t be arsed to go out and vote for the NuSNP.
Come back in another 5 years and complain that the seeds that you could have taken the opportunity to support and nurture haven’t grown and begun to offer the change you purport to want.
If Reform does do well today, IMHO I think it is more to do with general dissatisfaction where every part of peoples everyday lives are being affected in a negative way.
A lot of things that are making peoples lives worse have nothing to do with Holyrood and even at Westminster. They are driven by worldwide events but people need to vent this anger and it’s always done at election time.
Holyrood isn’t entirely innocent though. It’s these stupid little things like MUP, BOGOF ban, the war on motorists. They are minuscule and annoying in themselves but when accumulated, they become noticeable enough in peoples everybody lives and it leads to this perception that I had mentioned of every part of our everybody lives being affected.
Holyrood politicians are naturally out of touch with peoples everyday lives but the gulf is becoming more massive as they obsess over and get caught up in things like Trans that has nothing to do with the majority of the people.
With this massive disconnect between politicians and ordinary people, is it hardly surprising they are going towards the likes of Reform?
The main stimulus for voting Reform is immigration, specifically Muslim immigration. This is why I think that their vote will be higher than expected. People don’t want to be decried as ‘Islamophobic’ or racist, but voting is private.
Reform will fix nothing on immigration. That’s a global elite problem & we don’t get a vote on them.
& Scotland has zero control over immigration.
But if it is a cause you care about – write that on yer spoiled ballot on the constituency vote. It all counts.
@Cuphook
Yes, it’s a major concern for many in the UK, including Scotland, and Reform is avowed to tackle it directly. Our removal from the ECHR will be an important first step, as will heavy revisions to the rules concerning rights to remain, visas and especially benefits.
“Scotland has zero control over immigration”
Bleeding obviously, if Scotland votes Reform at the next WM GE, Scotland has lots of control over immigration.
I now invite the intelligent, informed readers to speculate on why Geri might want to lie about a cast-iron factual certainty like that one.
@ Cuphook 7 May, 2026 at 12:22 pm
Of course for those that support Reform and have made up their minds weeks ago to vote for them, what you said is true.
However, can you say that is true for those who has made switches from other parties to vote Reform today?

—————————————-
Polls are open till 22.00. There is still time to get off your arse and go out to vote.
I have no respect for people who don’t make the effort to vote(whatever way they vote).
I won’t be voting on the candidate voting paper.
But Tommy Sheridan is top nominee for the Alliance To Liberate Scotland on the Regional List.
So, if in the Glasgow area, and you want Tommy / independence, Alliance is the best choice for the second vote.
Rock on Tommy! as Bobby Ball used to say.
Don’t know what to do about the candidate paper. They’re all bought/captured/owned by external actors. What’s the point? May vote on the list though. The most radical thing you can do of course is to sit on your hands.
Women fought for years to get the vote and you want to just “sit on your hands”!
Sturgeon and the Brit infested SNP leadership have done a job at stiffling the independence movement.

Voting advice for a people seeking their liberation from an imperial coloniZer.
Indigenous, liberty-seeking Scots should NOT vote
– UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES –
for ANY party that is either:
a) Registered in a foreign country; a foreign country like England, say.
Or:
b) Is not the Alliance to Liberate Scotland Party.
There… I don’t know how I can make it any simpler.
VOTE FOR:
Candidates standing under the ATLS umbrella (or ISP’s in a pinch, I suppose).
DO NOT VOTE FOR:
Anything or anyone else.
If you can’t vote for an ATLS, or ISP (in a pinch), candidate either leave your ballot blank or spoil it with the words “What About The Picts?” as I will be doing… or something more suited to your own temperament, “Pictavia Rules”, perhaps.
Remember… this piss-take-parliament election is NOT REAL for indigenous Scots, but we can still have fun fucking with Holyrood (until Scotland is free again) whenever opportunities arise, as one does today.

Nobody!
The key question here is whom to VOTE AGAINST?
The answer to that question is:
#No Votes SNP
Very busy at Anniesland,no polsters or reps at the door. Could be any ones
who to vote for in glasgow central if you approve of women having rights and want independence?
On the constituency ballot? Pretty much all you’ve got are the Tories and Reform.
With reference to comment from jay on 7 May 2026 at 12:41: I did not make that comment. Are there 2 people using the same name?
One of you has a capital J, the other doesn’t.
#No Votes SNP
Zero
For any Swinney bonehead reading this, BOTH -2 equals zero
ERECTION DAY
on telly last night john curtice does not look well; the poor man looks like a cadaver
what choices do we have today –
SNP – fake nats, conmen; a trade union for sex criminals, job creation scheme for lesbians
Labour / Lib Dem / Tory – indistinguishable other than by rosette colour; Scotland hating unionists programmed to obey westminster – bog standard grifters. Remember it is okay to hate Sadwad, but not because he is a p4ki, but rather an entitled, middle class wanker, who thinks the country owes him something (- could his people not get him a job at the cash and carry)
Reform – the “lets destroy fucking everything” little englander party; rightwing businessmen with extreme delusions about how the economy works – Farage thinks everyone can form their own hedge fund and trade crypto, and pay no taxes (then import the third world LEGALLY to do the actual work)
while self interest, grifting, ordinary greed and petty incompetence are not great, and the base layer of politics, the ideological is truly dangerous
Greens – a life hating death cult, pretty much, far removed from any “save the nvironmen” ideas; they want to shut it all down, kick out the supporting structures of society but somehow magically fix everything. Remember how, in contact with a real world problem, Slater managed to royally fuckup a “bring your ginger boattles back to the shop” scheme. Maybe the worst of the lot; psychologically, very authoritarian – they preach “tolerance with a jackboot” – you will comply.
ATLS, actual nationalists, maybe they bag a couple on the list and use it to make a noise on holyrood; it will help, its a start.
A spoiled ballot is a valid protest I suppose; I think the last irish election had a lot of spoiled ballots – it gave a lot of people a real fright. Ireland is really going to shit of late – from starting out as folks who would quite rightfully and with total moral righteousness, shoot the occupying english forces – they now import random trash from the third world at a rate that would cause envy among the swedes and french. Then they had that homo in charge, now they have some wummin – gays and wimmin, running the show, what could possibly go wrong. Michael Collins would get cancelled today and called “far right”.
There are some smaller indy parties, but without any media presence (they might be the best of people, but unless the average prole knows your name you have no chance)
Please revise and re-post, Confused.
We need to know how to vote if we hate Dews.
Then theres the nutter parties – an abolish holyrood party (I appreciate the sentiment but – do you really think westminster is any better) – some “christian party”, and some independents; this thing about “no one knows your name” can be overcome if you can use social media / youtube – get yourself a channel; talking of which
Someone mentioned Craig Houston …
– he would be a better youtuber if he scripted it a bit tighter and generally – got to the fucking point before we fall asleep. He is a dim-brain and a unionist (are the 2 related?), but I think he is the only guy who is daring to investigate in person what is going on with the “asylum seeker” situation. This has become an issue in Glasgow since the dumb b1tch council leader said “we will take everyone” and then they all ran up here from all over the UK (once you get out of asylum status you become homeless) … then she had the cheek to say “we are experiencing a housing crisis” (give money) and then when people made the connection tried to pullback and say “er, its nothing to do with asylum seekers … we all love the diverse vibrancy … uh jock tamsons bairns … shutup-shutup racists”
– so, I suppose his vids are worth watching, for it won’t be on BBC/STV; you can pick up some of what is going on in the local press, evening times, but it doesn’t escape beyond that. Mind, Glasgow has a long tradition of covering up its dirty linen e.g. the reporting of “altercations” and “incidents” perhaps involving “football supporters” and that zinger : “a report has been made to the procurator fiscal”. No one wants to do the journalist thing and “investigate” in case they kick over a rock and can’t handle what they find.
“bad data” – something I just came across : the case of the diverse being over vibrant and over represented is, or should be, a great embarrassment to the middle class liberals who hold open the door for them, but they just do the
LA LA LA
NOT LISTENING
OMIGOD
R U RACIST
OH NO ITS THE FAR RIGHT
– it’s like an autonomic response.
But, among this statistic all normal people know (and the cops try not to record), 2 subgroups are WAY above even the general level of their BAM peers
AFGHANS AND SYRIANS
– they are, basically, wild animals, not on any spectrum which approximates a human being; tell you, if some demon forced me to make a choice – “one of them will die, you choose” and it was down to an afghan or an orang utang, the orang utan survives, everytime. In fact, if it came down to an afghan and a rat, a rat carrying some deadly virus … its about 50/ 50.
Now, afghanistan and syria are two countries fucked up by “liberal humanitarianism democratising free markets and freedom” provided by western arms – we fucked them up; but follow this – the people from there, who are here now ARE THE PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT FOR US – WE ARMED THESE CUNTS (this is why they are all young men of fighting age)
– these are the tr4itors, fleeing their own lands, because of what the TALIBAN will do to them.
I say we repatriate the afghans to the taliban. Now that is what I call “moral hazard”. Or we give them a choice – “you are muslim, you believe in sharia …?” – er, yes – okay, so we try you in the UK under sharia law – then all these cunts will be dangling from little JCB cranes in the court car park. The sharia appeals process involves digging up your corpse and holding a seance.
Then to help them pay back what they owe this country, their organs will be harvested for transplant, and the rest of it turned into dogfood.
It is so sad, because the taliban would seriously fuck these guys up, no messing – they should be a bit grateful; someone said to me they have no fear of jail because a british jail is like an afghan/syrian hotel.

The point here is – people don’t make connections – every single thing is just a random independent event existing in isolation; but things happen because people make them happen – connecting it all to the geopolitics, we have to ask : “was it really a good idea to remove Assad” / “was it really a good idea to remove Gaddafi” / ” …. afghanistan … iraq … sudan … the congo … ” – the warmongering needs to stop. And this comes down to USA and its controller, Oz. The trouble with the likes of Houston, well meaning but idiotic, is that they lack the intellect to make the connection.
That’s a bit better, Confused.
But I note you’re still being coy.
Interesting that you believe it was US warmongering, controlled by the Dews, that pushed poot out of Orcland and into his former colony a bit over 4 years ago.
Still, who do we vote for to fix that? Spill the beans.
“who do we vote for to fix that?”
Obviously, to end ‘that’ and the continued colonization of Scots we need to vote for radicals who the state of England-as-UK fear most, starting with Craig Murray, Tommy Sheridan and other liberators standing for the ALLIANCE TO LIBERATE SCOTLAND Party.
That’s what happens when you agree terms, (Minsk1 & Minsk2) get the United Nations to rubber stamp it & then not only laugh that it was all one big joke but to overthrow a democratic election / coup & continue with the ethnic cleansing/Jenny side.
It’ll be argued it’s a Just war. A moral duty to intervene & that is a valid reason under international law. R speaking regions were being ethnically cleansed & persecuted.
Those Labs will be investigated too. According to Nuland it was some real dangerous shit they had cooking there that could wipe out the whole of Europe if ‘the wrong ppl got a hold of them’ Said without the slightest brass neck that she was the wrong fucking ppl & so are the Nazis she was making cookies for while ppl were being burned alive in the background.
She even looks like a Nazi. Evil.
Don’t worry, Shiteface, yer taxes will be funding them for the next 100yrs. I dunno where little England thinks its getting the wonga from but I’m sure they’ll find it once they’re over here & start cracking some kneecaps.
Nice try, Alf.
I doubt very much that anybody half-decent fears the kind of people who cheer on lassie torturers.
There is no “moral duty” in international law to launch a totally and completely unprovoked invasion of a neighbouring country citing legally bogus and factually nonsensical claims about “Jenny side” and bio labs. That is why the perpetrators are wanted by the ICC for war crimes.
Even if these farcical claims had any merit to them, the invasion would only be legal following a vote of the UN Security Council.
Wrong AI DAN.
They intervened because R speaking regions were being ethnically cleansed. That’s what the Minsk agreements were about & those were ratified by the UN. The same agreements they admitted they’d no intention of sticking to. U were slaughtering ppl in the streets angry at yet another democratically elected government being overthrow by a US coup.
So be off with yer farcical propaganda. He isn’t wanted for invasion. He’s wanted for moving children directly out the line of fire in a warzone & even the judge admitted he was wrong because he only took Us word for it. Another English stooge.
There is a justification for invasion under international law. He had a moral obligation to those R speaking regions through the Minsk agreements.
Typical Yoon. You always think yer above the law & typical Perfidious Albions conceited regard for legal agreements. No wonder the entire world despises you.
For a complete slabbering idiot with a ridiculous name you certainly have a lot of demands. I bet you rant like this if someone leaves the toilet seat up.
Constituency paper duly spoiled… W.nkers, the lot of them!
Pity about two separate pro-Indy parties on the regional list (I don’t class SNP or Greens as pro-Indy)…didn’t know which to pick TBH so a bit of eenie meenie mine mo…
I voted for Stand for Israel on the Constituency and Free Palestine on the list. A balanced vote and indicative of how Scottish Politics has nothing to do with Scotland.
Reform are an English national party. Any Scot voting for an English national party is deranged! Kelly is still spouting both votes SNP. For a guy that is so called poll expert, you have to wonder at the levels of cognitive dissonance.
It’ll be cause they’ll know they could be on the ropes so want backup of getting in on the list.
I suspect they’ll take a huge dent today. If so – they’ll only have themselves to blame. Not just for squandering Indy mandates but because the sneaky bastards switched the last SNP Scottish Election vote to the Greens & started to implement their policies that had already been rejected at the ballot box. For no reason whatsoever. (Self ID, Juryless trials, TRA bs etc) That, imo, was unforgivable & I hope the electorate take em to the cleaners & punish them for it today…
They’re just another unionist party now. Another Labour grifting party.
My last attempt at humour in a post has been lost to moderation. So let’s be serious. How do any of you explain this. My brother a life long shop steward and an original Scottish Labour voter changed to SNP in 2014 Referendum. He just told me he voted for Reform UK. A wild political journey. The 20% of voters not telling you how they will vote are beyond reticence. So I didn’t bet on this election. If the Scottish Government can lie without redress so can the electorate.
George, your brother’s journey of vote choices is jist a product of the political paradigm Scotland endures within the Union.
It’s a mangled setup up with differing and confusing vote systems utilised to maintain divide and rule, and an electorate of mushrooms generally kept in the dark after being fed shite by the “British” MSM and millionaire corporate owned newspapers; So it’s baked in that intelligent folk will be all over the place with their voting patterns as the frustration with playing the rigged game every time an election occurs rolls on by.
I voted at lunchtime and could see there hadn’t even been one full A4 page of voters turn up since polling opened in my rural locale, and as I cycled to the polling station I had been considering the utterly fucked up political situation, division of views, and the electoral fatigue we see and feel in Scotland.
Of course the devolved nations of the UK have to endure an extra voting event, because the Kingdom of England just hijacks the Westminster elections as their own, thus simplifying the choices and reducing the repetitive burden of dealing with all this bullshit on the more English electorate (because the franchise is more exclusive in GE elections).
Top tip for preventing frustration is to be disciplined enough to save what you have written prior to pressing submit comment button. Or try pressing the back button, and you may also be able to salvage the lost post.
@Hi Dan
My brothers journey is a failure of the Political System in Scotland. This is the last free speech blog in Scotland from now on it will be restricted. 5 years of Social Engineering incoming. Including a resurrection of GRRB. Totally predictable. We have to rely on the 20% that have not declared their vote.
A teatime read from Grousebeater. (Not sure why his articles don’t always show on the voices for independence daily feed)
link to grousebeater.wordpress.com
Grouse Beater’s List vote decision ignores the fact Ambassador Craig Murray is number 1 for ALLIANCE TO LIBERATE SCOTLAND on the regional list for Edin + SE Scotland.
Whilst voting SNP in the constituency, on the list GB appears to prefer the similarly non-nationalist woke Green Party for some reason, stating that:
“My Regional vote to an Indy for Indy candidate. There are two in my area, The Worker’s Party, once anti now pro autonomy, and Green party. I’m weighing up the two.”
Aye, Alf, I found that quite bizarre. But again, it highlights Scotland’s hamstrung political predicament when even some of the most prominent voices are all over the place with their voting choices. The lack of unity of purpose from such folk is truly astounding.
I recall pointing out to Craig Murray and Tommy Sheridan btl on here that the multiple choices in the Regional List where a real problem for activists trying to promote and coalesce votes into one useful entity, and that this issue really needs to be dealt with. IIRC that was a couple of elections back and still we have ISP and ATLS options in all but one of the Regions. But at least Craig and Tommy are capable of seeing the bigger picture now, but why ISP haven’t I don’t know. It will be a real pain if potential pro-indy list seats are lost due to division of votes between ATLS and ISP…
I don’t know if I have understood Grousebeater correctly but is he saying that we should be voting for SNP to preserve Holyrood?
I don’t know about anybody else but Holyrood is a dead end for the constitutional argument unless a party like Alliance to Liberate Scotland who stands solely on the platform of independence is elected as a majority.
What is the chance of that happening or being allowed to?
Didn’t vote. Just couldn’t be arsed and wasn’t giving that lot my vote. Fool me once…
Hi Alf/ Dan
Mathematics and Statistics tells me that not one of these minor parties will get elected.The only plausible Independent Candidate that might get elected is Fergus Ewing and that is a long shot not worthy of a bet. There will be no 4th Independent MSP at this election. And after 27 years that is an absolute tragedy of the Scottish Political System. Nothing to do with Westminster. My only regret is not standing as an Independent Candidate with 20 Policies. I would have got about 100 votes after spending £250000. We will see tomorrow.
Is there any evidence anywhere that spoilt voting papers ever changed any Party policies whatsoever?
Asking for evidence is so 1990s.
Just yell “Yoon!” at anyone who disagrees with you. That is (sadly) the intellectual level of the majority of comments here.
No idea.
I exercised my civic duty and democratic right to vote in a manner whereby I declined to endorse any constituency candidate. What I scrawled over my spoiled ballot may give an agent or teller a laugh, but as for changing anything, I doubt it.
They’re read by the candidates throughout the count so they can all agree to discard them/proof they’re spoiled.
It may not change policy but it’s better than just staying at home because it lets them know they were all intentionally rejected, rather than staying at home & them complain they lost because of low turnout.
Imagine if spoiled ballots actually outnumbered the valid ones LOL!
That happened in Scotland? Or was that the rigging gone wrong? Hmmmmmmm….
I’m of the opinion they are rigged in Scotland. Especially after indyref. I just don’t trust the British. They have form.
Seems to have been a big green turnout in my ward in Edinburgh Central. Maybe somebody should have taken Stu up on his bet that the Greens wouldn’t win.
I had to join a big queue so that I could spoil both my ballet papers. Last time I voted I only spoilt one of them so the quality of candidates is getting worse.
I was going to vote for Craig Murray, but then I discovered that Tommy Sheridan was standing elsewhere for the party Craig was standing for so that put an end to that.
There were three green activists canvassing the queue which I thought wasn’t allowed, but it seems that no canvassing is only in the polling station itself and not in the queue outside.
agentx @7.10pm – The system is rigged. Candidates are bought. Candidates are captured. This isn’t the early 1900s. Our “elites” love to tell us that we live in a democracy and that we are “free”. Refusing to play their (fake) game de-legitimises the pantomime.
Absolute nonsense. Go back to sitting on your hands and see how much that does for you.
If you’d read my original post you would know that I intend to vote on the list paper. That’s where I’m headed to right now. That still doesn’t stop the captured political system being rigged. I don’t blame ANYONE male or female from ignoring the entire corrupt system and sitting on their hands. Good for them.
There is still time to go to vote.
