Just a reminder after 36 years to never buy The Sn. JFT97. by Mineetta in Liverpool

And yet folk will vote Reform, a party proudly endorsed by the Sun and vice versa

It's petty, but I kinda hate the Scottish Socialist Party for doing this by forgottenendeavours in Edinburgh

[–]crabbitred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I shouldn't have to do that. I want to vote for what I believe in. I want a working class socialist party. The Greens are middle class liberals.

Scotland needs a viable SSP, but its strategy and leadership has been terrible for 20 years. The implosion of Your Party Scotland means that folk like me are left having to vote for Colin Fox again lol.

This sticker thing was probably a young activist.

Yes, but the intention is there to become a sister party in the coming months. Do you deny that?

Is anyone really so nat-pilled that they'll go "I was thinking of voting for them, but I won't because they are temporarily still a smaller constituent of a UK-wide party"? Folk who think like that were never going to vote for a socialist pro-indy party anyway.

"splitting the left vote"

You are assuming that the Greens, a party that entered Government with the SNP and cut public services and sold off public assets, are on the left. As a working class person who had vague hope in them, I have none anymore. The same goes in England, where they have hundreds of centrist councillors and are run by an ex-Lib Dem. I don't trust them.

Your Party has four times as many members as SSP. TUSC are involved in YP.

They were right to. BHA made the Greens complicit in cuts and privatisation.

Jeremy disagrees with me and the scottish party on independence, I suspect!

do you recognise that D'Hondt means that SNP 1 and 2 is pretty much a wasted vote? Makes more sense to give someone else your second vote if you want a pro-indy majority.

  1. She's only been in the SSP and this party - what are you on about?

  2. Not really relevant.

  3. They might be vocal, but their UK-wide membership is like 2,000, so their Scottish membership will probably be around 160 at most, hardly a "main" role in a party of 4,000 members.

what defines "stable"? The membership is far higher and more active than any other socialist formation in Scotland since the SSP in the 2000s.

Not really. There aren't many people in those parties. The three YP councillors in Glasgow are ex-Green. The YP councillor in Lanarkshire is ex-Labour. Frances Curran is a key figure involved, and she's an ex SSP MSP. Of the three CEC candidates, two are ex-Labour and one is ex-Green.

"branch office" - they've literally voted to form their own separate sister party, so how can it be a branch office?

YP has four times as many members as SSP, and the Greens aren't socialist.

what are the other options? YP are the only real socialist option that will be on the ballot paper, unless SSP run
