I'm not that convinced that gaming the system for more independence seats is going to do much in terms of the indyref. Even assuming there is literally anything capable of shaming Boris into giving people what they want, if there's a lot of pro-indy seats and not a majority (or even a small majority) of actual voters for pro-indy parties then they're just going to use the vote numbers to argue against it. and if there is a majority voting for pro-indy parties then there's set to be a comfortable majority of pro-indy seats anyway from the projections i can find.

that said, if you're proposing it just for "less tory msps" reasons then that would work, i guess there may be questions of illegitimacy but i don't know if it's even something that can be measured - how many green list voters are voting tactically? hard to say. I don't think a whole lot, personally, but that's just my idle reckoning and not actual facts. definitely more plausible deniability for the tactical green voters than for the tactical voters for "Hello, I Am Alex Salmond And Am Literally Asking You To Game The System"

anyway the real reason to vote green in the list is because they're pretty good. they're pretty decent. i'm actually voting green in the constituency because one's standing and the first two are SNP and Labour and I do not care which of those gets one less list seat, your local tactics situation may vary

Yeah, I think people should vote Green as the only party in Holyrood supporting an independent republic, and generally the best policies and MSPs by a country mile. But if I have to offer SNP voters a spoonful of sugar to take the medicine then I will.

As for how many Green voters are lending their vote them from the Nats? I mean, in 2016 the Nats got 106,311 fewer on the list than the constituency, the Greens got 150,426 on the list, from 86,939 in 2011. Now I'm no John Curtice but I reckon at least a lot of those are from the Nats.

Vote Scottish Green regardless

England is the least sexy country in the world. Whatever other virtues they may have, every accent, fashion, name and slang is focused on making the bearer as unsexy as possible with absolute laser precision. If England was a person it would be Nigel Thornberry.

what keeps happening to my clothes
at what point does the mispronunciation of Alba just become the name of the party

like if I go around the country telling people to vote for my Scotland Party and pronounce it "Scurrrtleeend" isn't that just the name of the party now

and if both are right does that mean we can just choose any pronunciation for a proper name and have it be fine

can't wait to see how many people vote for the Elbow Party

You picked about the worst possible example because Nigel Thornberry is A: voiced by Tim Curry, and secondly, so fun he basically carries an otherwise mediocre show on his back.

yeah people like nigel thornberry, and the writers more or less had to make him jesus christ but for animals in order to overcome the innate tramua the rest of the planet has with that accent. he'd be a green party candidate here.

I did not know who Nigel Thornberry was and assumed op was trying to evoke a combination of Nigel Farage and Emily Thornberry.

But half the thread has a crush on drunken aunty Em so that doesn't compute either.

I teach kids Computer Science and I sometimes give them stories of working in the Games Industry as many that opt into the subject as aspiring Game developers. Hell one of my starters was dedicated to project management and could not resist mentioning Star Citizen.

Yes, it's this thread. CPGB, a party that hasn't existed in 30 years, does not have much support here. Hope that helps OP
