I just voted entirely out of spite. Count Binface to spite Fox, Sadiq to spite internet racists who hate us having a Muslim mayor, and all the rest Green to spite Keith and his Red Tories (and also to spite Sian Berry for not wanting ex-Corbynistas, tough poo poo lady, though I admit that's rather spiting myself in the foot there). I'd still far rather have someone to vote for.

I promise the podcast did not start a small war to launch this week's episode, but by TOTAL coincidence we did a history of the UK fishing industry. Not to thump my own chest too much, but if you wanna understand why everyone is so pissed, this week's main story is genuinely a good primer. Also we brought back GoingMedieval/Eleanor Janega and she's always great. https://twitter.com/PraxisCast/status/1390225221358129157?s=20

Kin posted:So getting my head around the Scottish voting system (because I finally got around to it) and it basically boils down to this? Echoing what Jedit said. If you support independence, vote SNP on the first ballot & Green on the second. The only exception is if you live in South of Scotland. The SNP currently have 4 MSPs from the second ballot, despite receiving more than twice the votes of the next party in 2016. 3 of those MSPs are South of Scotland, 1 Highland. Which basically means about 900,000 SNP votes were wasted, which only benefits the Tories. The only sensible option on the 2nd ballot are the Greens. Do not engage with Alex Salmond's ego trip.

I'm guessing it's not a great sign for politics that literally the only reason I'm going to bother walking the 5 minutes to the polling station (or rather diverting 30 seconds from my trip to the chippy) is to try and ensure Count Binface gets more votes than Piss-Drinking Man and Kirk Van Fox.

Still laughing at Polly Tonybee saying that the voters have no excuses but to vote for Labour because Keith is so electable. Winning Votes isn't electability, wearing a nice suit and not being left wing is.

Not voting today. Because I already postal voted Went with the Green in my holyrood constituency to try to get them in second place in my safe SNP seat and because Lorna Slater is cool. Also current (fairly distant) second place isn't the tories so i don't care that much tbh. Heard some chat that SNP TERF Joan McAlpine might lose her list seat if she doesn't gain the Dumfriesshire constituency , with the right AMS fuckery going on. Does mean the tories gaining a seat but i believe that'll just mean one less list seat so I'm not that bothered either

ReelBigLizard posted:https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1390212802753843200?s=20 always nice to learn that the UK's fishing industry is made even weirder and dumber by the existence of Crown Dependency rules that do even more fuckery than the usual British state fuckery. In terms of AMA: has the Jersey fishing industry declined as much over the last decade as the UK overall one?

ReelBigLizard posted:https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1390212802753843200?s=20 Should we just give the Channel Islands back to France because do we really need another loving tax haven? Anyway, pleasantly excited to find that the Greens are running a local constituency candidate here so I don't have to spoil my ballot. Coz I'm not voting for loving Fergus Ewing. But more weirdly there is Restore Scotland. Who seem to be a pro-independence, anti-EU right wing party running here, Banff, Dundee West & Shetland. Sound like shitheads, their Wiki has a line about the ranting about "Scottish Government’s new hate crime legislation".

Voted TUSC where available (one council candidate out of three) and also for an Independent who dropped a leaflet round focussing mainly on public transport and cycle paths, and one Labour candidate who is actually good. Also Lib Dem for PCC because they're married to a friend of mine and it's a bullshit position anyway so who cares? It's weird being politically homeless.

The dumbest thing about this is in independent, buccaneering Britain the creative industries are one of our only successful export products. Like I get wanting to grow sciences and manufacturing and stuff but you don't actually need to gut our extremely economically successful cultural output for that to happen.

Surely that should be "a blank from a musket" rather than "a blank firing musket", because there's nothing stopping that from not being an actual shot other than the decision not to put a ball in it.forkboy84 posted:Should we just give the Channel Islands back to France because do we really need another loving tax haven? Neither do Tories though, so who knows who should have them. Probably not the Telegraph Brothers.
