Tories tactical voting plan to drive out SNP

[Goodfellers]

I made it clear to central office I would be voting Labour next election. They seem to have taken my views on board and are urging Scottish conservatives to vote Labour. Let's hope they do. That will be the end of the Greens and the SNP will lose control of Holyrood. There is hope for Scotland yet.

Just to be clear here.

Are you saying that Conservative Central Office are actively encouraging Scottish Tories to vote Labour?

PS; just checked the date to make sure it wasn't still April Fool's Day.

Uk head office isn't so keen, but Scottish office are working with Labour on certain seats. So last election I was told (advised) to vote Lib, this time Labour, mind you unless the Tories get their act together, they wont be getting my vote back ever.

So what you are saying is that Douglas Ross is going to ask Scottish Tories not to vote Tory in seats where Labour is in second place. By implication that means that the Scottish Tory party is actively campaigning for the Labour Party in Scotland in certain seats.

On the other side of the coin you seem to be suggesting that in seats where the Tories are in second place the Labour Party will ask its voters to vote Tory. By further implication that means the Scottish Labour Party will be campaigning for the Tories in other seats.

If this story is true then it provides proof, if proof were needed, that you can't get a fag paper between the Blue or the Red Tories. Either way, you can bet your bottom dollar that if it is true and it worked, that Scotland's position in the Union would be further marginalised.

Up until now I don't think I fully appreciated the extent to which you wish Scotland to be subservient. It's blindingly clear now.

I'd sell my soul to rid this country of the Greens and SNP.

[Corky Smeek]

And I'd sell my soul to rid this country of Tories (Blue and Red ones).

What this proves to me is the need for electoral reform to a more proportional system for the Westminster elections rendering such tactical voting obsolete.

A question…..

What is the Status of Nikola Sturgeon and Hubby….Are they still in trouble? Ty

There doesn't seem much demand from the electorate to change the voting system. For example there currently is a petition on the UK Governments petitions web site titled "Change the voting system to proportional representation (PR)":

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/639390

and although it has been there for some months the current number of signatures in favour is 576.
