The Kintyre Forum

It is in the title - obviously the poll does not lend itself to allowing multiple votes but should give an indication of who people are thinking of voting first.

Please post why too

I'm with Donald first and Jim second - I like the united approach.

I would hope no matter who gets in for South Kintyre they would be united to do their combined best 40 hours a week 110 %

By the way you've missed a candidate!

It's a pity I can't vote, however given the chance, I would vote for John Donald Semple, perhaps the only person I know, who could convince me that politicians can have integrity.

All the best John.

I'll be backing John Semple all the way.He is head and shoulders above the rest.

I'll ne backing John Semple for sure.

Donald Kelly, Jim Martin and not sure of the third, think possibly John Semple as he seems to have the heart for a fight and these 3 men working as a team would be good for South Kintyre.

I'm from the toon but sadly not resident, but if I was, my vote would be for JD Semple.

Know what you mean but it would be hoped that they can make up their minds individually when it comes to issues and not just one following the other. We need three voices and hopefully all with their own ideas of working together. Don't want two against one just because they are pals Just a comment and no reflection on how I will vote.

It's good to see new faces in the race

I am backing John Semple and his S.N.P. team of Jim Mathers for M.S.P. and Alex Salmond for First Minister

I think John S is correct.
As far as I know, George MacMillan is standing in South Kintyre for Labour.
Seems a bit unfair that he's not included in this poll don't you think?
I see the Lib Dems are starting to creep up the rankings!

nice to see your all coming round to my way of thinking, i have a postal vote and did my duty last night so i've already voted, it was one of the hardest things i've ever had to do, No.1 was easy but placing the other five in order was torture, i nearly tore it up in frustration, considered numbering them all 6 but that wouldn't have been any help, god help us when two of the rest get in, their probably standing in front of the mirror as i speak practising "it's not my fault, it's those independants, i'm only one man/woman/****hole (delete as appropriate)

edited that for the sensitive and a future sunday mail four years hence

Two tories is a mad idea. A lot of Argyll & Bute's problems are down to the funding they get from the Scottish Executive. We need people who have contacts with that Executive. Looks like it's going to be an SNP government so it's daft not to vote for the SNP candidate. He'll be the man with his hooks in the decision makers when it comes to funding, roads, ferries and so on.

Apart from that, I'm voting for John Semple because I think he's the one who best understands how the Council and the Parliament actually work. Sweet idea to vote for the biggest, shiniest or most local but we've been doing that for years and it doesn't work. You could teach a parrot to say it prioritised Campbeltown but that wouldn't make it fit to challenge planning decisions. Now that I think about it, that just about sums up half of the existing councillors in Argyll.

BTW you don't have to fill in all the boxes. You can stop at 1,2,3 or whatever. Some people are just impossible to quantify

And poor George most certainly deserves to be on the poll. The sheer loyalty he shows in sticking his name in the frame yet again, at his time of life, deserves at least our respect.

I`m voting for the person thats poster is highest up the lampost,at the bottom of the big kiln on May the 3rd
