@ShredderLivesOn I think it is very interesting polling. If SNP is projected to win no list votes, and assuming polling is correct, then who should SNP supporters give their second vote to? For me, a vote for Scottish parties is a must, and we must show the World that Scotland is way, way better than Reform.

@ShredderLivesOn Here is an interesting graphic on Scottish and non-Scottish parties and their home addresses. The SNP in Edinburgh, Alba in Glasgow and the Scottish Greens in Edinburgh. Meanwhile, the so-called 'Scottish Labour', the 'Scottish Tories', the Libdems, and Reform in Scotland are all headquartered in London.

@IndyRichard I'm a reluctant SNP voter on the constituency ballot. Certain policies and members of theirs have got me holding my nose, rather than voting with any enthusiasm. But I plan to give my list vote to the Scottish Greens. The Scottish Greens are pro-independence, operate autonomously from the Green Party of England and Wales, and actually are more in-line with my personal politics in many regards. Certainly far more than the others.
