It’s time for Scotland to move beyond the union – and claim our rightful place on the world stage.

i🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts. 🤔
It’s clear the mainstream media have their knives out ahead of May’s election.

Westminster owned & funded “Scottish” unionist parties still hold nearly half of Holyrood seats and are coming for Scotland's Parliament and its progressive record.

We can’t afford to stand by and let it happen.

That’s part of the plan 👍

At Westminster, Scotland-only parties hold a meaningless 1.4% of seats, while UK “Scottish” Unionist parties hold 7.4%.

Meanwhile, in our own 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧, UK-wide unionist parties still control a hefty 43% of MSPs on devolved matters.

Representation isn’t equal.

Sometimes everyone needs a helping hand to be dealt a winning hand.

If everyone votes SNP 1 on the constituency FPTP then it’s job done.

Minimising Westminster controlled & Westminster financed parties and their MSP's at Holyrood in May has never mattered more.

I'd be more than happy with a single-party SNP majority but that is extremely unlikely.

so voting SNP 1, Greens 2 is crucial to protect Scotland’s progressive policies.

Farage and Offord described it as a "two horse race".

Westminster has had over 300 years to get it right, and to be politely frank, they’ve made a complete mess of it and it’s only getting worse.

Scotland has another option.

Whatever you do on 7 May - VOTE FOR SCOTLAND

A winning hand.

Unfortunately, Mr Swinney has limited his own options by claiming that an SNP majority at Holyrood would justify requesting a referendum from Keir Starmer.

Even with a very unlikely majority, Westminster is unlikely to agree.

Scotland’s progressive policies are being weakened by Westminster inaction.

We cannot afford a coalition of Westminster controlled parties to take control on 7 May.

Let’s minimise Westminster parties presence in Holyrood and put 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.

With Labour’s UK government tanking in the polls, the Tories in freefall and Reform hoovering up the debris and dumping it in their own cabinet, it’s long past time to spring-clean the Scottish Parliament.

Let’s minimise Westminster parties presence in Holyrood and put 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.

Voting SNP on the regional list carries a very high risk of helping Westminster parties win seats.

Because the SNP usually wins constituencies, their list votes are heavily discounted.

That means most SNP list votes don’t turn into MSPs.

SNP 1 Greens 2 is a better way to maximise pro-indy seats.
