Scottish Elections who do you think will take the majority of Seats?

As a Scot I genuinely have no idea who to vote for.

I dont trust the SNP and find John Swinney completely incompetent. I wouldnt trust him to run my household budget let alone the countries so he is out for me. I cant stand labour, the tories well are not my cup of tea, lib dems and green would never get my vote.

However i dont seem to be alone in having no idea who to vote for which leaves me wondering who will take the majority of seats across Scotland. What do others think will happen?

A month 🤣

Yes. A month. To get these childishly idiotic SNP MSPs pretending to run a government.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand a word of that. What do you do that you have to pay higher tax when your spelling, grammar and arithmetic is so appalling?

It’s a perfectly put sentence. If you cannot read it I suggest it’s a problem with your reading comprehension.

And my salary isn’t unusual in professional services. Similar to salaries seen in medical consultants, finance, top level engineering, highest tier academic roles. These jobs still exist in Scotland you know, despite being taxed to death.

Elsewhere I see politicians trying to belittle Malcolm Offord for his fortune, despite the fact he earned every penny and appears to pay his taxes. I’m no fan of his politics but he is who we need in Scotland - people paying exorbitant levels of tax. Certainly on Twitter any politician bemoaning his fortune are getting their arse handed to them in the comments below. Would Scotland be a better place with 1,000 Malcolm Offords or 1,000 Ross Greers. I know which I’d choose!

No. It isn’t.

I think we’ve been invaded by a trans activist who doesn’t live in Scotland. Who will you be voting for then @Differentforgirls ? You

avoiding the question by focusing on typo. Time waster.

I personally don’t think single issue voting is a bad thing. My main concern is avoiding the break up of the UK. So green and SNP totally off the table as well as that Mickey Mouse crowd with Tommy Sheridan. I also don’t believe men can become women but would still vote LibDem or Labour if it meant giving the SNP a doing.

Lib Dem and Labour voted for GRA 🤣

Reading comprehension not your strong point is it.

main concern giving SNP a kicking. Happy to compromise and vote for another party which can do that, even if I don’t agree with their stance on the GRA.

but you’re not voting in this election anyway, I am.

Your first sentence suggests otherwise.

Indeed. Doesn’t seem very bright. Esp as bemoaning people voting for single issues - when the majority of Scotland already vote on the single issue of Indy - marks you out as clearly someone who doesn’t live in Scotland. But then again they claim to be an SNP supporter so they could just be daft.

And you pretend to be a “feminist”. Truth hurts. And it’s very obviously hurting you. Take care.

Btw, that post was also a bin-fire of bad grammar.

Yet they have governed Scotland since 2011 and have delivered loads of policies to benefit the people who live here. Don’t you live in Scotland?

Yes I do live in Scotland. And everyone living here knows folk who are pro Indy but openly say if Scotland became independent there’s no way way they’d vote SNP.
They can see what a mess they’ve made of the country by completely taking their eye off the day job. They vote for them because of one single issue which is very important to them.

Everyone? I have to admire the fact that you know everyone in Scotland. Huge if true. You have a social circle of 5.5 million people? Kudos 😬

A grammatically incorrect phrase from a man scolding women for caring about their safety.

Women's rights are a key area for me and any party that fails to protect my sex based rights will not get my vote.
