Two on the list that I wouldn’t be happy to vote for but – they aren’t in my region so I can, with clear conscience vote for Alba on the list. Still struggling with the idea of SNP in the constituency but may have to hold my nose.
You have to vote SNP one! Otherwise any vote in the list is a total waste of time as will achieve nothing unless there is a big constituency vote for SNP!
You have to vote Alba.
A marvellous gathering in of 32 prospective leaders with one aim ,and who are able to see the truth staring them in the face.and the hard work ahead.
CHEERS AND CONGRATULATIONS ALL ROUND.
A great upliftment , for all men good and true, and at a prophetic time, as we move into the powerful Easter vibrations heralding a more
intense and traumatic awakening for humankind. poptail
