Voters in Glasgow, on May 7th remember that &quot;Independent Green Voice&quot; is a far right, non-Green, non indy-supporting con that the Electoral Commission should have dealt with many years ago. If you want to vote green, vote Scottish Green Party (SGP). Look for the logo.

@drgeraint The Electoral Commission can't do anything about it because the name preceded the current rules and isn't breaking them. 🤷 Not sure we'd want to live with the sort of change of rules that would be necessary to prevent it either. Who else could it be aimed at?

@drgeraint I think the electoral commission ought to demand that voting slips for the list vote be in alphabetical order one election and reverse alphabetical order the next. At the moment, all the parties with Scottish in their name are at the end of the list.
