In 2021, the SNP won 62 constituency seats but only 2 list seats, because their constituency success limits list representation.
The Greens won 0 constituencies but 8 seats on the regional list.
THAT SPLIT MATTERS.
It maximised pro independence MSPs and minimised Westminster-owned parties.

“The idea that squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything is fantasy and we do need to expose that.”
Good job no one’s ever actually said that - including me.
So why is Labour again repeatedly lying to avoid taxing the super-rich?

Another one from much warmer times, recording 'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow' in North Carolina. A welcome reminder that spring will always come again.

We all know Holyrood isn’t sovereign and can be overridden by Westminster at any time.
Yet despite 4 of 6 Holyrood parties being Westminster-owned, the Scottish Parliament has been pro-independence for 14 years.
Westminster parties have no place in Scotland’s Parliament.

Westminster and the Union it props up is on its knees.
This has been clear for years, yet every failure deepens the decline with no sign of change ahead.
Scotland does not have to go down with it.
We have another option:
End Westminster rule and choose an independent future.

Ok Unionists Labour and the Tories have been a disaster. But you’d rather give your vote to an untried Right Wing party , than vote SNP.
Look at your values and what you want . Don’t vote Reform because they are not SNP.

Vote for Scotland in May not for Westminster's benefits continuing at our expence
It’s obvious devolution and the Scottish Parliament were, and still are, a ploy to stall independence.
Unionist “Scottish” parties, acting for Westminster, undermine Scotland’s successes by any means - lies included.
This isn’t just attacks on the SNP but on democracy and the Scottish people.

What happened starting in 1980?
Mass Privatisation.
So instead of your wages being decided by what your Government could afford and what you earned, you are paid as little as possible to maximise profit.

If you are watching the King's Speech remember that he is worth £21bn gets hundreds of millions a year tax free.
But he still charges Wind Farms to rent worthless seabed that he 'owns'.
The result £200m a year to him and you pay it on your Energy Bill.

Those closest to Sean Morton, the former Moray councillor who in 2017 admitted to possessing indecent images, cannot be blamed for giving him the benefit of the doubt. Might you not have done the same, had you been in their shoes? asks Shona Craven ✍️

The new UK/US trade deal is being introduced partly through secondary legislation. The new ‘rules’ of this trade deal are likely to limit our ability to rejoin anything and make closer relations with the EU extremely difficult. This is deliberate!

If you taxed every Billionaire in the UK so they only had £1bn you would get £1.1tn, an entire year’s worth of tax revenue.
It would affect only 173 People.
Tax the Rich, they’ve stolen all the money and dodged tax for decades.
It‘s time for payback.

The NHS has problems because since the 1980s it has been slowly privatised.
Margaret Thatcher outsourced catering, cleaning and many other services
Labour and the Conservatives PFI schemes forced them to sell hospitals and rent them back.
It costs of tens of billions a year.

Let's just recap what the Scottish government has delivered in the last 18 years.
Now tell me is it not worth keeping a government with a track record that actually improves lives & has the interests of Scotland at it's heart?
Or would you vote for one who will put England first?
