Who are Scottish people voting for next month?

At least no one seems to be voting for the bonkers Scottish Greens.

I don't think they've even fielded a candidate in my constituency.

I've just checked, and they haven't.
There are two Independent candidates though.

She went next door to my neighbour, who asked her exactly the same thing.

Jenni Minto (MSP) came to my door, canvassing for the SNP.

I asked her where she stood on the trans issue and she refused to admit that human beings cannot change sex, so I told her that I wouldn't be voting SNP as a result.

She's the Minister for Women's Health, too, so it's doubly worrying that she doesn't know what a woman is.

I’m sure she was devastated.

........the SNP did not "put male rapists in women's prisons"

Yes, they did. More than once.
Nicola Sturgeon was unable or unwilling to define what a woman is.

Edited

It wasn’t her. It was the justice secretary who had to follow UK Law. The prisoner was put in a women’s prison, in isolation, for 24 hours. Then moved to a men’s prison.

All under UK law 👍

Not sure

SNP are fucking useless. That they keep getting into power is proof that some people will vote for a dog shit if it’s sporting a black and yellow rosette.

Tories and Reform nope

LibDems - can’t stand that weasel who is their leader

Greens - don't want my vote as I know what a woman is

I guess that leaves Labour by default, not exactly enthused by them though.

You probably need to get over the “woman” thing and realise that there are many issues that are more important than 0.5% of the population?

What do you mean by that? That you think I'm on benefits?

Show quote history

No of course not. I have zero problem with people on benefits. Believe it or not, Scottish people are on benefits too and I’m really proud of our Scottish Child Payment.

I mean in terms of we, as a country, are the third biggest net contributors to the UK.

Libdem for 1st time

Labour are hopeless and are fucking the rest of UK
Tories no thanks
Reform - repulsive
Greens - total loons

So Libdems for both my votes.

shame the cult of SNP will continue though. Looks like they are on for a majority

DH is spoiling his ballot and first time voter DS is probably voting Labour

Edited

The Lib Dems are just as insane on the trans issue as the SNP - in fact probably even worse. Look at Surrey.

Scotland's public revenue: £91.4 billion (8.0% of UK total).

Public spending in and for Scotland: £117.6 billion (9.1% of UK total).

Net fiscal deficit: £26.2–26.5 billion (≈ 11.6–11.7% of Scottish GDP).

UK overall deficit: 5.1% of GDP — less than half Scotland's rate.

The UK massively funds Scotland and doesn't even get recognition for it. PLEASE get the independence you crave!

Just to add Agnes. There are groups like “Labour for Indy” (Sarwar was in it), “Libdems for Indy” and even “Tories for Indy”. It’s not an us and them thing. But in a General Election, all those people will vote for their party regardless as it’s not a referendum.

We do not get any subsidies from England. All countries in the UK are 'subsidised' because there is a deficit.
If you compare the deficits for devolved governments, and subtract the remainder of the UK deficit, England has far more subsidy, even per capita.

That is why I would like to see independence so that these ideas of subsidies which are proven to be untrue.

Scotland's public revenue: £91.4 billion (8.0% of UK total).

Public spending in and for Scotland: £117.6 billion (9.1% of UK total).

Net fiscal deficit: £26.2–26.5 billion (≈ 11.6–11.7% of Scottish GDP).

Ignoring the fact you are utterly consumed by the issue to the point whereby you invariably shoehorn a trans angle into every single thread you post in, the SNP did not "put male rapists in women's prisons".

Policy re trans prisoners was exactly the same before the SNP ever formed a government in Holyrood, it remains the same elsewhere in the UK. The SNP is doing nothing differently to any previous iteration of the SG or its counterparts in Westminster.

Would LOVE to see Scotland survive without the subsidies it gets from England. We might find those nasty far right parties all of a sudden becoming quite popular there all of a sudden.

As for the election. The SNP are miles ahead in the polls because the SNP can blame everything wrong on Labour.

Which is odd, cos they've been in power for two generations and their only achievement was putting male rapists in women's prisons.

Lol. If you actually believe this (as opposed to just stirring), then I would say, just let us go then if we are soooo expensive. SNP are streets ahead in the polls because Scots see more and more every day why we urgently need to be independent. We are not a nation that wanted brexit. We don’t want Reform.
