Under Holyroodโs system, SNP list votes are often wasted once constituencies are won.
That hands seats to unionist parties and weakens the pro-independence majority.
Independence needs cooperation not one-party dominance.
Independence support canโt be taken for granted.

"The latest polling from Norstat suggests that the SNP are set to sweep the constituency ballots, to the point that they won't receive a single list seat.
By contrast, Reform are projected to pick up 21 seats, all through the regional lists. They would also become the main opposition party at Holyrood.
That to me is a clear indicator that it's a waste to give the SNP your list vote in May.
If you want to boost an indy majority and hurt Reform, the best option is a Scottish Green list vote."
Interesting post from over on Mastodon. Looks like #SNP1/SG2 is going to be the way to vote to minimise the right-wing. #Scotland #Holyrood26

This is NOT a pro-indy strategy. It jeopardises the pro-indy majority.
You get more pro-indy MSPs by voting #SNP1SGP2.

Those mocking Polanski for tearing up about greyhounds completely miss the point.
Weโve been governed by sociopaths for 15 years who let 250,000 die from austerity and cheered & laughed their way through it all.
Finally, we have someone capable of empathy.

He is not a man of the people
He is funded by billionaires for billionaires because he wants to be one.
The media are supporting him by manipulating stories to support their narrative, and if that fails they make something up.
He is not your friend.

The English Labour Party in Scotland has been handed ยฃ200,000 by American health care firms. Those firms expect something in return for their 'investment'. That 'something' is Sarwar and Baillie's relentless attacks on our Scottish NHS. To undermine it in the eyes of the public.
Know your enemy.

It is a crushing defeat for a government which has helped exterminate Palestinians - and tried to persecute those who stood against it.
It is those who facilitated this genocide who will end up arrested and imprisoned.
Politicians like Keir Starmer.

Nearly 3,000 peaceful people have been arrested under this outrageous ban.
It was brought in after lobbying by arms companies and Netanyahu's government.
It has been condemned by UN rapporteurs and many other experts.
All the while, our government has been collaborating in real state terrorism.

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Labour must be so glad they paid Ratcliffe millions to shut down Grangemouth and move production to England and Belgium. That really taught those uppity Jocks a lesson on working class solidarity.

The stark contrast is set to raise a simple but incendiary question: who is truly paying for Britain?
Racist POS Ratcliffe, or people coming here from all over the world helping to build Britain? #UKNews

It is slightly irritating that the Guardian uncritically reports his claim that taxpayers are spending "an ever increasing proportion of our national income on out-of-work benefitsโ without pointing out that it is, in fact, false.

The difference between Westminster's Unionist parties and the SNP, is that the former only have a greed for money and personal power, while the SNP have only the well being of our nation and our people at heart!

After his failed putsch itโs striking that Anas Sarwar is ignored when heโs being obsequious and ignored when heโs trying to be brutal. No one in the Labour leadership cares much what he says or thinks.
โScottishโ Labour is utterly pointless.

Socialism in a mixed economy is a commitment by the state to meet the needs of every person. It does not prevent you from building your own successful business, it will just ask you to pay a little more in taxes to support those in need.
