Right. I've had enough of this bullshit. Yes. The SNP are awful. Truly, deeply awful. Yes. I despise the SNP. Absolutely despise them. I also despise the Tories and Labour. They are the Uniparty. I also despise the Greens, Lib Dims, Alba, and the rest. Sure, the SNP could keep hold of my constituency, Livingston. But I'm not going to vote for Labour. Ever. Yes, even if that means Bardell keeps her seat. Why? Because I've had it with the Uniparty. I refuse to hand my vote to the Keir Starmers, the Ed Millibands, the Angela Rayners, and all the rest of the commies. I also refuse to give my vote to the SNP, Alba, Tories, all the rest. You can hate me for my stance. I don't care. You can keep repeating bUt ThE sNp WiLl gEt ThAt SeAt AgAin!!11!!!!onetyone. It doesn't move me. It's YOU and The Majority who are not seeing the big picture here. Not me. The big picture is this: If a particular party can't properly campaign to garner enough votes to win here, that's their own goddamned fault. Not mine. If I, as an individual, choose to vote for the party that best represents my own views and policies and political wishes, then that's who I - in a fucking democracy - will vote for. There should NEVER be any need for tactical voting. Tactical voting is a symptom of a disease. The disease is this: The other parties are failing to represent the views, ideas, wishes of the voter base in the democracy. They are failing to reach the people they need to reach. As much as I despise the SNP, let's face the facts, they did manage to reach through to enough voters and garner seats and even just enough to gain power in Holyrood. Whether they managed that via shenanigans, lying, scheming, changing the goalposts, appealing to the basest populism? Doesn't matter. The fact is, none of the other parties reached the level of "success" that the SNP managed, because they've been completely fucking useless at this game for decades now. So I refuse. I refuse to play this game any longer. I will not be part of the symptom nor the disease. I want to be part of a cure. The cure, for me, currently, is Reform. For certain, Reform will divert votes away from Labour, Tories and the rest. They may even "sabotage" your tactical voting symptom. Well, boo-fucking-hoo. Anyone who's advocating for tactical voting, is acting within the symptom, not the cure. The cure is to completely disrupt ALL of the useless bunch who have been utterly ruinous to the UK and Scotland for multiple decades. Yet, you're all - every single one of you who say "vOtE lAbOuR hErE!" or "vOtE tOrY hErE!" - you are caught in a mind prison where you can only conceive of those two main parties in order to defeat the only party - as much as you or I despise them - who managed to get through to enough voters to gain seats in Scotland in the last couple of decades. It won't be my fault if my vote for Reform means the SNP retains Livingston. It'll be the fault of the other parties for not getting through to those SNP voters. That's the disease here. The need for tactical voting is the symptom, not the cure. Rant over.

Regardless of your political beliefs, this is fact, not opinion. Nigel Farage was instrumental in making this happen by bringing about Brexit. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☕️🫖
