I've given both votes to the Scottish Conservatives and Unionists for the reason that I don't support Scottish Independence, as I don't see too much of a gain from leaving the UK.

Nicola Sturgeon keeps flip-flopping about independence, causing division. It should just have been put to bed for a while.

I don't like the idea of Scotland being a one-party state, and I feel Ruth Davidson is the best person to keep the SNP in check.

I really love that one.

It's helped cheer me up for a tense and anxious day ahead probably.

You should offer your services to the police, that kind of ability could save Ł1000s

No local election in the high peak today just a police and crime commissioner election which i have voted in. I have to say the runners for Labour.Lib dems and torys put forward very good election promises whereas the pathetic UKIP tard that was on the list didnt even bother to fill out a charter after putting himself forward the chode He didnt even bother to upload a photo never mind put forward a case as to why he should be elected f*c*ing by the idiots for the idiots they really are bunch of BNP wannabes.

Better than SNP who do a good job of dividing the people of Scotland, and Labour who are supposedly a bit of a mess with a leader with the charisma of a potato!

What a mess in Barnet and now they are asking the turned away voters to go back or vote by proxy as they now have the up to date register.
What total incompetence.
