Crùbag Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Can't see this yet but apologies if I've usurped someone else's thread. It's early but the seemingly growing army of pro-Indy tacticians is already turning its attention to this one. http://scottishpolling.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/snp-supporters-approach-2016.html And, no Ukip! Labour down 7 seats... though there's a long time to go. It could get even worse for them... How should SNP supporters approach the 2016 Scottish election? Last week, the SNP saw a massive surge in the UK general election - gaining 50 seats. The question now is whether SNP supporters should give their regional list vote to the Greens in the 2016 Scottish election, to ensure a pro-independence majority.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 UKIP to get one seat and Scotland's most miserable self-haters to spend the next five years mentioning how fucking delighted disappointed in Scotland they are every 5 minutes.

Crùbag Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Looks like an SNP/ Green vote would maximise the pro-Indy contingent. As I'm not party political - i'm fine with this. Wouldn't mind Colin Fox getting in for the SSP as well - never rated him much but he's grown on me somewhat since the IndyRef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a disgrace if the troughers get on this list. Any eejit who still fancies a career in the labour party would be put right off. The troughers failed and failed badly... they need to step away and try and salvage some dignity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can't make any accurate predictions just now really. Think a lot will depend on who the new Labour leader is, how and what the 56 do at Westminster and whether any of the ex Labour and Lib Dem MPs will try and get in.

Mr Bairn Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 What is the best way to hurt Labour.? Voting SNP twice or SNP and Greens ? SNP/Green Assuming a near clean sweep of constituencies, the SNP will take at very most 1 list seat in each region, whereas the Greens could take a ton of list seats if the majority of the SNP vote went to them. Most regions have 9 constituencies, so the SNP list vote will be getting divided by ten before they even do the first stage of the regional lists.
