Scottish Elections

Today I posted off my ballot paper for the Edinburgh Council elections and the Scottish Parliament. SNP are ahead in the polls but they will need to form a coalition with someone if they win, and volunteers for this dishonorable task are nervously keeping quiet. Although the Liberal Democrats, wishy washy as usual, look most likely to betray the Union. They have been spouting some weak nonsense on wanting to work with the SNP but yet being against independence.

I stayed true to my former party in the Council elections and voted Green.

But I wont tell you who I voted for in the Scottish Parliament - it would only make you angry. But trust me, there is some strategic calculation behind my madness.

Did you also know that EU citizens can vote in our regional elections – and Commonwealth citizens can vote in both our regional and national? I think that’s ace.
