They are described in official documents as first and second votes ( see para 5 )

Do you really think someone who voted for labour, lib-dem, or conservative in the first vote and greens in the second vote are Indy supporters ?

Of course, why not? If you have a good constituency MSP that you think does a good job then you may want to keep them. However, on the list vote you vote for the party that best fits your goals.

I think it's fair to say now and the last 10 years, God knows why but Scotland has been split roughly 50/50 on independence. Probably around 40% either way aren't budging, it's the middle where its won or lost. Boris priti and other such evil entities, can surely only help the cause though

Not sure if Dorries being unable to spell Ukraine counts as evil, but surely she's also putting in a great shift for the Indy cause.

I don’t think things have really moved much at all since 2014. The change from 55-45 to the 50-50 we have just now is likely just the demographics moving slowly towards Indy.
It’s why I think the SNP policy of being patient is the right one for now. If everything else stays the same then it’s moving the right way. I’m not seeing any game changing moves by unionists just now so we should just wait it out till the time is right.

Unlike all the 2nd votes given by Labour and libdems to the tories of course, they were all OK

That is "lack of virtue" signalling.

You seriously believe that there was no tactical voting by parties other than the SNP and Greens?!

The Conservatives got 45,000 more votes on the list than they got as first votes. I wonder how that happened 🤔😁

Labour had 100,000 less list votes!!! Libdems 50,000 less

By my calculation 105,000 labour and libdems voters switched to the greens in the list vote

Of course it might be the case that some voters didn’t select a list candidate.

Do you know what the difference between candidate and list voter numbers were for the SNP and Greens ?

It's important to remember that the Greens didn't field candidates in all constituencies.

The SNP list vote is 200,000 less than constituency vote and the Greens list vote is 190,000 more than their constituency vote.

Interesting points on the 2 votes, 6,000 more list votes overall than constituency votes.

How the hell have you calculated that? :confused:

Constituency - Con+Lab+Lib = 50.4%
List - Con+Lab+Lib = 49.5%

Constituency - SNP+Grn = 49.0%
List - SNP+Grn = 48.5%

Looks like intra-nat and intra-unionist switching to me?


As others have said, the List vote seems a more reliable indicator as it removes local candidate effects and everybody is standing everywhere.

So, loathe as I am to lump in Salmond's vote, but needs must - SNP+Grn+Alba = 50.2%

Nat majority :wink:

Is this the new SG-bashing thread? The other one has gone quiet :greengrin

If so....

There was also 45,000 list votes for the Alba party. I can’t see them coming from anywhere but the SNP constituency voters.

Who cares what the SNP claim will happen in their fantasy land post independence?

Is she still claiming their will be a referendum in 2023? [emoji23]
