There is a little-known far-right political party registered in Scotland, with politics similar to Reform. It doesn’t really operate as a party. It seeks no publicity, delivers no leaflets, does no canvassing. It lies low and does zero campaigning, avoiding attention, hoping not to be noticed … until polling day.
Its plan is that on polling day, voters quickly scanning down the list of parties will put their cross against one that superficially looks like the Greens. (1/4)

This far-right party is called “Independent Green Voice”. Do not vote for them by mistake. (2/4)

@steviferous bruh if somebody votes for things "by mistake", you shouldn't want their vote.

@odr_k4tana The issue here is impersonation – deception. Read about what they did in 2021. There were many complaints and testimonials from deceived voters after that election, but the Electoral Commission didn’t act on them.
A similar case was the fake party calling itself the “Literal Democrats” in 1994. They fooled enough voters who had intended voting for the Liberal Democrats to switch that result.

@steviferous yeah but I mean, reading attentively shouldn't be too much to ask for voting. It's not a book.
