Shooting ourselves in the foot – how a fringe group handed Labour an SNP seat in the fight against Reform UK

There’s the result for the ‘shock’ Labour win over the SNP in the Western Isles.

BBC Scotland seem not to publishing the actual numbers, the raw data, though they do mention that, the winner:

MacKinnon, who works in community development and manages a community-owned trust in Carloway on Lewis, won by 154 votes.

Only 154?

I can’t help but wonder how many voted for Kenny Mackenzie of the Alliance to Liberate Scotland?

It was 159!

Am I alone in being frankly p****d off by that?

  1. I agree – either self-entitled ego mania to get their name on the ballot paper or a deliberate attempt to muddy the waters.
