Scottish Parliamentary Elections May 2021


Recommended Posts

I suspect around 10,000 Willie Rennies votes in the Riviera are from Tories.
If correct that has about 70% of Tories voting Lib dem.
Easily believable as this actually used to be a tory stronghold when I were a nipper.

Tory tactical vote gets them safely over the line.

Yep, down from 26.1% to just 11.6%. Lib Dems lost their deposit.

This used to be a four-way marginal, with the Lib Dems very close to taking it. Now it's like almost every other seat in the country - an SNP-unionist two-horse race.

Tactical voting yet again in Edinburgh South. If SNP take Dumbarton by 25 votes it will be delicious

Not sure if I want a more resounding win or a smaller margin if it truly has been a proper excersize in tactical voting.

I was talking about a specific group of individuals who are absolutely notorious transphobes, determined to conflate the actions of abusive and predatory men with perfectly mundane behaviour on the part of transpeople.

There's nothing wrong with having a debate, but likewise, there's also nothing wrong with calling out some of the utter bullshit  that the GC side tries to hide behind.

I'd argue that it's stuff like that which necessitates a Citizens' Assembly on the issue to discuss it, whose findings would hopefully carry more weight than the rantings of online zealots. 

For my part, generally I support any policy change which would make someone's life a bit easier as a result.

Tactical voting.
The unionist voters know how to do it.

Edinburgh Southern is one that's never going SNP

SNP won it in 2011 with just 29%. Today was their best result ever in the seat.

How, exactly, were independence supporters supposed to vote tactically on the constituency vote?

List vote is where it counts regarding the SNP.  ALBA have been pish and the Greens don't look at the races either.

10's of thousands of #bothvotesSNP votes will again count for heehaw
