Really depressing slate of nonentities in the NE Scotland list. Not a Communist or independent socialist in sight. I am something of a political anorak, but I had to google half these parties as I had literally never heard of them.
There seems to be a higher Randist-per-capita count in this part of Scotland than elsewhere. It's a profoundly depressing screech from the right wing geiger counter, frankly. This is no surprise in a city where people won't talk to you if they can avoid it, and certainly won't befriend you without having known you from primary school; a city that 's permanently frightened of anything not in a golf jumper and sensible shoes.
Very predictably Salmond is top of the Alba list. Their fourth candidate, "Dot Jessiman", sounds like a forgotten Eric Linklater novel.
Amongst the chewy political gristle at the corner of the loon ecosystem we have the charming "Freedom Alliance" (anti-vaxxer bUt I WaNt tO Go sHoPpiNg party), the Scottish Renew Party (Morningside Centrist Dads know what's best for you), "Restore Scotland" (One man and his dog outfit who are both pro independence and pro Brexit), the Scottish Family Party (anti-abhortionist right wing Friedmanite / mad Christian loons), Abolish the Scottish Parliament (Rangers fans, Poppy Monomaniacs & British Legion Office Holders 4 Westminster), Galloway's mob,
both Reform UK (Faragist-Ticeist) and fucking
UKIP have a full slate of candidates- the Koch brothers may as well put their money in a bucket and set it on fire whilst singing
Rule Britannia tbh-the Libertarian Party (ruddy faced Turriff businessmen defend their right to pay no tax ever) and whoever the "Independent Green Voice" is.
What a stinking and fetid pot-pourri of fantasists, libertarians, moralising monomaniacs, charmless right wing chancers and Bonapartists. A massive cock and balls on the list vote it is.
here's my Abolish The Scottish Parliament candidate
