Serial Scottish extremist. Golf, RFC, family (not necessarily in that order). Hopefully Indy before I leave this mortal coil. All Unionist parties are enemies of Scotland. Saor Alba. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScottishIndependence #RFC #RangersFansForIndy

Vote SNP for your Constituency candidate. But the List seats are based on the whole region. SNP are polling to win 8/10 Constituency in the South region so the combined SNP List votes for the region get divided by (8+1=9).

Vote -

SNP Constituency candidate

Scottish Greens Regional List vote

"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

Scotland’s food & drink industry is world-class & the same size per capitata as France’s. In 2024, Scotland exported Β£7.14bn, equivalent to Β£1288 per person. England exported Β£12.12bn, Β£207 per person. Yet all the tax income from the sector go to THE TREASURY IN ENGLAND

As one poster recently put it, the Scottish General Election is now a clear battle between the SNP and the BBC.

I am utterly dismayed at the plethora of voices from posters whom I have followed for years because their beliefs on Indy mirrored my own. They are now sowing seeds of distrust in the SNP (and JS in particular) and urging us not to vote for them. No alternative. How the hell do you propose to win ?🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s vital that every party supporting Scottish independence educates folk on what issues aren’t devolved.

This messaging MUST be prominent in their campaign materials, because the client media here will continue to mislead folk into thinking the SNP are failing at things they don’t even control.

Did you know, the total value of whisky aging in Scotland is greater than the UK's entire gold reserves!
310 tonnes of gold,Β£22–£25 billion.
Whisky in Bond,
22 million casks valued between Β£30 billion to Β£100 billion+!
No wonder England won't let us escape with 75% of that going to HMRC London!

Reform represents the voice of ordinary people, like me - the privately educated Leader, Richard Tice, the privately educated Deputy Leader, David Bull, the privately educated Chairman and Zia Yusuf, the privately educated Gobshite In Chief.

Not wealth creators. Exploiters & extractors. The rich won’t leave anyway, that old lazy trope. Their wealth IS the UK. The real estate. They can’t β€œtake it away”.

We're just one Rachel Reeves speech and a lobby briefing away from Scotland having a better credit rating than the UK.

Probably.

Your missing the point, TC. Without the necessary info, how are they meant to make a reasoned judgement either way. The older you become, you just want a quiet life knowing your pension is secure to live the life you worked all your days for. Gullible ? Maybe some - but not all !

Agreed. And I do try to educate them as much as they're willing to let me. However, it's not the same as John Swinney or even Stephen Flynn appearing on TV and laying it bare to the masses.

Yes, I'm aware of this, RJ - the problem is that no-one outside the Indy movement is aware of these facts. We need the major players to stand up and spell out the advantages of leaving the Union regarding pensions and finances in general.

You know what ? I couldn't disagree ! As a long time Indy supporter, I know the ScotGov has great plans for the protection of it's senior citizens but I do think it's missing a trick by not addressing this section of society directly. So, c'mon Mr Swinney, time blow your trumpet !! 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
