Still Game characters by political allegiance.
Ever wondered how the Still Game characters would vote? Me neither, but I thought I’d do a thread anyway.
🧵🧵🧵
Pete The Jakey
He can’t vote cause he’s got no address. He always liked the SNP until they brought in minimum pricing on Alcohol. Now he’s a staunch Tory.
Eric
Auld Eric is a Labour man. He has been for over 65 years and he doesn’t have the imagination to change now.
Mrs Begg
Staunch Tory. She thinks everyone on disability allowance is having it on. She claims she has first hand experience of this.
Tam
You might think Tam would be a Tory because he’s a stingy bastard but no. Tam’s an SNP man through and through. He particularly loves the free prescriptions policy and the baby box.
Big Innes
He’s an SNP man. Douglas Ross once turned up to his croft in Elgin during an election campaign. Big Innes sank a bottle of Midori on the spot and gave him an atomic wedgie. The pained expression on Ross’s face remains to this day.
Boaby
Boaby doesn’t vote. He thinks they’re aw wankers. Takes one to know one.
Isa
She was quite fond of Nicola Sturgeon but when the former FM’s house was searched, Isa was straight on the scene and harassing any police officer that would talk to her.
“I just cannae wait to tell everybody.”
Methadone Mick
He has concerns about whether Humza Yousaf’s leadership style will live up to his predecessor’s but also feels like the Labour Party of Anas Sarwar and Keir Starmer lacks a coherent message.
Stevie the Bookie
He’s a thieving prick so obviously he’s a Tory. He campaigned against independence because in his words, “Scotland have nae chance.”
“Not very patriotic that is it Stevie boy.”
Auld Joe
Joe’s a tactical voter and will do anything to keep the Tories out. He hates them for their treatment of disabled people.
Manky Frankie
Frankie backs Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. Exactly what you’d expect from a manky bastard.
Winston
Winston is a die hard Indy supporter but he’s drifted over to the Alba Party. He’s always been a mug punter that likes a stupid gamble.
Shug
Shug is a Liberal Democrat. Nobody knows why. He’s never offered an explanation.
Navid
He’s the most hardcore SNP man of the group. He actively considered standing as a councillor for Craiglang but couldn’t leave Meena running the shop on her own cause she’s a lazy bastard.
Victor
He was a Labour man for most of his life but switched to the SNP after 2014. He doesn’t talk politics much but thinks Humza Yousaf is “No a wanker.”
Jack
Jack votes for the Scottish Greens. He loves all that young patter.
