Original post by SausageManI'm voting SNP, in this general election. Inorder to recieve the powers that were promised during the referendum campaign. "Hate" is a very strong word, I would never contemplate on hating a person just because of where they came from and if I did it would be considered negative discrimination. (Also I support the freedom of movement, so if I did hate some one purely based on where they came from, then I would be rightly considered a hypocrite.)
Its more likely your confusing "hate", with our frustration of the Westminster political system and class. This stems from the 35 years we have voted for a labour government and most of the time, we recieve a Tory government we didn't vote for.
The SNP, are portraying themselves in this election as Scotland's voice. Who will put the needs of Scotland first. To me this seems like a good deal as my intrests will be fully represented in the House of Commons. So if it would make you feel better, I shall apologise for wanting Scotland to be yet more successful.
If what you mean by 'backwards' is more inclined to vote for a party on the left. Then yes, I do like parties that are on the left of the political spectrum. The SNP isn't a perfect political party, (they refused to give prisoners the vote as they were unsure how the public would react) so on some occasions I support policies from the Scottish Greens. Such as there policy of a £10 minimum wage, I feel this is a good policy because if lower earners have more wealth they will be more inclined to spend which could renergies our economy. There by creating growth.
Your misdirecting your frustration, as to devolution. As I campaigned for full independence, inorder to make our own decisions to create our own destiny. It was the unionist parties who promised more powers, the SNP are just holding them to their words.
