Elon Musk's AI claims video of Glasgow fire 'shows Tel Aviv after Iranian bombing'

On Thursday 7 May, itโ€™s crucial that people get out and #vote.

Both votes for SNP is negligible and risks handing seats to Westminster-owned parties, including the racist Reform party - something #Scotland simply canโ€™t afford.

EXCLUSIVE: Labour have been accused of a 'cynical attempt to mislead voters' after they cut back a multi-billion-pound energy pledge by as much as 95%

First key step (IMHO) is a 20% swing to Scottish Greens on the list. That would make them official opposition. A psychological step that demotes unionists to third place. 35% gets us to a 2/3rds Indy majority seat split.

The biggest gains are actually quite close. Every +1 Indy is -1 unionist

'Cover-up' as House of Lords refuses to publish files on Labour paedo-pal peer

The UK Government is facing allegations of a 'cover-up' after it refused to release documents relating to Keir Starmerโ€™s decision to give one of his close allies a seat in the House of Lords despite his known links to a convicted paedophile

It's not even close to the top of his bad behaviour, but Anas Sarwar posting a video of a rain garden next to a Glasgow cycle route and telling people it's symptomatic of the SNP's neglect of the city is definitely an embarrassing and actually quite pathetic little turn in his campaign

โ€ฆ threaten to change the vote to just FPTP, collapse HR and take that seat majority to 65/73 (90%)

Change the voting system to include a vote on independence. Force WM to fight on Scottish soil.

Introduce law regarding balance reporting and sue MSM for breaches.

Send one representative to WM only

Exactly. The debates are about Scotland, not conflated rage about Scotland v the Union. With overwhelming voting, the Scottish Parliament can start to challenge WM and any โ€œthat not in your competencyโ€ can be shouted out as democracy deniers.

75% of the vote can support voting system changesโ€ฆ

Sets Indy in public mind. They see the overwhelming support in HR and the ineffectiveness of the unionists.

Solomon Asch conformity kicks in and fence sitters convert to Indy

Easy push back to vocal unionists โ€œYou were decimated at the elections. The people have spokenโ€

Vote SNP 1 SG 2 and that could be 63+33

That would leave the unionists with just 33 MSPs combined = to SGs on their own.

Unionists no longer anywhere near opposition (11 seats biggest unionist party).

An undeniable shift. MSM cannot justify the โ€œthere is no appetiteโ€ trope.

1/2

Also Cruachan Power Station providing grid frequency control and inertia that helps with the integration of renewables.

The 600MW expansion should be a priority but lacks WM support

The spot price of heating oil has doubled since Jan 6th ๐Ÿ˜–

An Indy Scotland will hopefully move firmly to home produced and affordable electricity to replace heating oil used by many households in remote areas.

It only impacts the regional vote and also only a small % but where the Alba voters go will be interesting.

โ€ฆ count that could take away their unique selling point, ie, the only viable voting option for Indy.

SNP 1&2 is a vote to have the SNP as the one and only party of power against a fragmented opposition but will re-elect another 50/50 Indy/unionist parliament.

โ€ฆ seats to even help form a coalition government. If the unionists get in, then there is a likelihood that devolution will be unwound and that will be that.

So IMHO, the only rational explanation is that the SNP does not want to promote a strategy that could lead to another party having a seat โ€ฆ

โ€ฆAlternatively, itโ€™s a mitigation strategy for an awful outcome, but considering that a region would have to lose 3 or 4 seats (over the predicted outcome from the polls) to get just one list seat then itโ€™s an incredibly bad strategy because the SNP wonโ€™t get a majority and the SG wonโ€™t have enoughโ€ฆ

I can do the maths and so can the management of the SNP and voting SNP 1 SG 2 would clearly minimise the number of unionist seats, however, if the SG were to get 30 or so seats, would they then become an alternative vote for people that may be voting SNP because there is no current alternative? โ€ฆ

SIX main parties are contesting the regional list vote.

FOUR are unionist.

The only other pro-indy party is the Scottish Greens.

The SNP is likely to win few, if any, list seats.

So if pro-independence voters donโ€™t give their 2nd vote to the Greens, those seats go to the unionist foul four.
