May 8, 20214 yr My mate lives that end of the City too, and that’s now possibly the safest seat in Scotland. Huge mandate for Shona Tories continue to lose their targets of all the ones announced so far. Interesting to see what the list votes shake out. Given how stable a lot of the vote is turning out to be I think 63 or 64 is our most likely result. Which is a fantastic achievement for a party in gov after 14 years. Appears Scotland quite likes the make up of its 5 party parliament
May 8, 20214 yr How has Scotland resisted Fatage and Brexshit Bojo so well compared to England? Even Wales fell under Fatage's vile spell.
May 8, 20214 yr Welsh Labour have impressed as much as the SNP for me considering their time in power and the tories in Westminster attacking their running of the nhs and making sure it’s as difficult as possible for them. The UKIP votes in the south of Wales returned to Labour and only really went to the tories in the marginals along the English border and the NE seats which are more traditionally English in terms of their populations and culture.
May 8, 20214 yr Most of our key targets have seen SNP vote increases that were beaten by unionist tactical voting. Also hearing the Greens are stealing one of the Tory seats on the Lothian list 😁 (zero SNP list seats in Lothian expected, wasn’t any in 2016 so the steal from the Tories in EDI is a net gain and should hopefully see us hit 64)
May 8, 20214 yr Listening to Laura Keunsberg is sickening highlighting the significance of missing out on the 65 seats more than the fact that the system in place specifically does its best to prevent that. She can’t hit her bias. Forecast SNP 63 seats Greens 9 Anyone have the overall % of SNP votes at the end I would appreciate to see this! Edited May 8, 20214 yr by steve201
May 8, 20214 yr It's weird how all news are focusing on how they've falling short of a majority instead of them breaking records

I don't think voting for the Scottish Greens is necessarily a pro - independence vote, I know they are technically pro independence but some people may be just be voting for them because they are a Green party and the associated environment policy.
May 8, 20214 yr I don't think voting for the Scottish Greens is necessarily a pro - independence vote, I know they are technically pro independence but some people may be just be voting for them because they are a Green party and the associated environment policy. And a vote for the SNP isn't necessarily a pro indie vote and a vote for Labour isn't necessarily pro-union. If I lived in bonny Scotland, I'd vote Labour, if they had a chance in a seat, but would also vote indie, sooo you know.

I don’t think talking about a subject which you know nothing about as if you know something about it is necessarily a good idea. The votes for the SGP are explicitly for a pro-Indy party. *everyone* in Scotland knows this. Like on Covid, yer arse is oot the Windae
May 8, 20214 yr @1391109345941860353 64!!!! +1 on 2016 and once we take the presiding officer from an opposition Party, thats 50% of the seats
May 8, 20214 yr I do not understand Scotland's voting system. A mix of pr and fptp?? Just go full pr!
May 8, 20214 yr 🤦🏼♂️ AMS IS a Form of PR. It’s a lightly edited version of the voting system in used in Germany and NZ among others
May 8, 20214 yr @1391090942061551621 Seriously impressive. Love to see it~ Indy vote up while the unionist vote is down, defo love to see it
