Just to make it clear. I'm voting Labour in the General Election, because I'm a Socialist, but unfortunately I live in a safe Tory seat so I may as well stay home .............
I'm probably going to vote Green in the County Council election to try and oust our current Lib Dem councillor who changes political party every few weeks but doesn't seek re-election. Bizarrely Greens are the big party here in town but once surrounding areas are brought in to create a parliamentary seat we become safe Tory. Overall Devon County Council is solidly Tory and spends its time moaning about lack of government funding ......
If I was in Scotland I'd be wondering why, other than dogged self-interest, Labour isn't pro-independence? I thought we were supposed to be anti-colonialist and pro-self-determination? After all if Anguilla were undergoing a Socialist revolution and wanted to become independent we'd be all for it.
(I'd like the Scots to be able to do what they want. I just wish they wanted something more sensible than the EU, but hey ho.)
