Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
What were the total number of votes that the fake Green party siphoned from the actual Green party? Was it just a few thousand in total?

Was it just in Glasgow that it happened?

One of the things I'm curious about is that despite the tactical voting, how many votes were given to "anti independence" parties that might actually have been by people who still want independence at some point.

There was a segment on young folk who voted on the BBC yesterday and a kid said they voted Labour/Green because Labour talked about the NHS in their leaflet. When pressed though she said she'd definitely vote for independence.

It might be a small number but the anti independence parties are already starting to dismiss the SNP win by saying that they didn't get a majority and that only 48% of the votes cast were for pro independence parties.

Edit: presumably you can do the opposite too for "Labour" voters who switched to Tory to block the SNP and pinpoint a % of Labour voters who are definitely against independence given how different the two parties are supposed to be ideologically.
