We have no way of knowing how successful the Navalny supporters' initiative was as detailed information about voting in the Russian presidential election tends not to get beyond the Kremlin's walls. We do know that following their call to action, queues at polling places swelled. But it is unlikely that we'll ever get a reliable tally of spoiled - or repurposed -ballots.
Basically, what I'm looking for here is a nudge from you lot. If there is something you'd like me to do - and if I reckon I can make at least a two-thirds decent job of it - I'll give it a go. Let me know in the comments.
We are forced to accept whatever voters in England choose. If voters in England choose fascists, we get fascists. If voters in England opt for corrupt, venal, incompetent politicians, we suffer the consequences.
The worst thing that could happen to the #RepurposeYourVote initiative is that it should develop into a contest of 'slogans'. The moment this happens, a divide is created as each contestant acquires supporters. The 'sides' in this contest quickly become factions. Tribalism sets in. Scotland's cause is the loser.
The British state is a Tory state. It may be possible to vote them out of office. It is not possible to vote them out of power.
