Hi
My name is Brendan O’Donnell and I am standing as an Independence minded Independent candidate in Airdrie.
I would be very grateful for a share and a shout!

Francesca Albanese is trying to stop a genocide. That is her crime.
The United States and Israel are trying to stop her – by destroying her life, her career, her family, and her voice.
The US has sanctioned UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs along with 8 ICC judges, 3 court officials, and Palestinian human rights organisations Al-Haq, Al Mezan, and PCHR.
The message is chilling: investigate genocide and we will destroy your life.
The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.
The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.

A huge thanks again to everyone for the help and support and for the all the kind and encouraging messages!
The results are in, and unfortunately, it’s not to be, this time!
Massive applause and praise for Francesca Albanese. She deserves even more.
Francesca Albanese was welcomed with loud applause as she entered a conference to present her book about the war in Gaza, showing strong support from the audience.
This Holyrood election is the most important we have had since it opened in 1999
The formula of our D’hondt voting system.
Regional Votes ÷ (Constituency Seats Won + 1)
Central Scotland Region
In 2016, the SNP won all 9 constituency seats
SNP starting divisors was 10 ( 9+1 )
Scottish Labour 67,403 = 4 seats
Scottish Conservative 43,602 = 3
SNP 129,082 = 0 seats
In 2021, the SNP won 9 constituency seats
SNP starting divisors was 10 (9+1)
Regional list Results
Scottish Labour 77,623 = 3 seats
Scottish Conservative 59,896 = 3 seats
Scottish Greens 19,512 = 1 seat
SNP 148,399 = 0 seats
This is 19,317 more votes than 2016 their divisor was still 10 (9+1 ) Their round 1 calculation started at
14,839.9 votes
This .= 133,559.1 wasted votes .
20% of these wasted
votes , 26,711.8 would have got @IspJulie elected
@norriehunt43182 Thanks again Norrie! And good luck to all the Independent candidates out there, and all the real Independence parties, all standing up against a political class which sold us out a long time ago!
Well, that’s me done! Election day tomorrow and my last leaflet has been delivered.
I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me, a huge thank you to everyone who was kind enough to stop and have a chat with me and a huge thank you for all the messages of support I have received.
Vote Independent!
A full on bank holiday weekend, canvassing and leafleting. Great to be out and about all over Airdrie, in Burnfoot, Whinhall, Thrashbush, Rawyards, Plains and Calderbank.
Getting great feedback on Citizen Assemblies and Community Energy Mutuals in particular!
It is Power to the People every which way!
I’m not sure what delightful person done this! But I also find it strange, especially considering the way the SNP have maligned the name and reputation of Alex Salmond, that Neil Gray, while being interrogated about the New Monklands Hospital, would reference Alex Salmond’s successful delivery of the Queensferry Crossing to bolster his own catalogue of failure.

Vote Independent or or nothing will ever change!
