Under Holyroodโ€™s 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 canโ€™t 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

Hundreds of thousands of list votes are set to be WASTED by SNP supporters insisting on #BothVotesSNP.

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.

Weโ€™ve 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.

37 Labour in Scotland MPs in London. 20 months. Some record. Grangemouth, Mossmorran gone. Orbex going.
Acorn carbon capture in limbo. Fishing areas short changed. WASPIs conned. Meanwhile billions into English steel. carbon capture and fishing communities. What are they for?

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 truth is that this Labour Party in Scotland & UK are the friends of:
โžก๏ธ genocide & ethnic cleansing
โžก๏ธ rich bankers - Labour have removed the cap on their bonuses
โžก๏ธ NHS privatisation
โžก๏ธ some in Labour have even befriended paedophiles

Sarwar & Starmer: fighting each other while the country suffers

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

Read the whole piece to the end to understand the logic - "Second voting SNP will result in more Reform MSP's".

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!

Unsurprisingly quote from a man whoโ€™s never been in a fight. Would be interesting to see his count on how many fights heโ€™s chickened out of, U-turned or lied his way out of?

After his failed putsch itโ€™s striking that Anas Sarwar is ignored when heโ€™s being obsequious and ignored when heโ€™s trying to be brutal. No one in the Labour leadership cares much what he says or thinks.

โ€˜Scottishโ€™ Labour is utterly pointless.
