I'm taking my vote away from the SNP over the hate crime bill and now looking at alternatives. I thought a few of us might need a thread where we list the various parties so we can weigh up their offerings. Also as I'm writing to my local MSP - I am saying I will consider voting if I can understand his stand on women's rights.... so what else should I put into this letter? For me it's my first time really engaging in politics in this way as I grew up in a family who always voted labour and I never really thought about it until I was older and had children. There's probably a few of us who could do with thinking about this and understanding what options we have.
