Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since they finally managed to oust Sturgeon.
I will also never vote Labour, they have no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too.
I once voted for Lib Dem and we ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my vote didn’t matter there.)
I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a wasted vote here.
It’s just bizarre to me that Westminster’s voting system is such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered normal?
Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive about it since that is what they want us to be.
It’s definitely between Green and SNP for me I think. I’ll wait and see what the manifestos put forward but likely SNP will be the only option for getting the tories out anyway, once again.
I’m just tired and frustrated of doing this in every single election and having the rest of the UK shit the bed and vote Tory anyway. I’ve put a £100 bet on with a friend that the Tories will win again even though they’re polling real low. I just have no faith in the electorate to do anything but vote against their own interests.
