You vote regularly for a candidate to be elected then a Party for the list. Those elected are elected obviously, then the Parties with the List votes nominate the number of reps matching their %. For example I think the Green party got none elected last time ordinarily yet were able to hold the balance of power due to their elected list reps. I think that's all true or in the ballpark. @A.L.D.O 4.1 to adjudicate
It's a form of proportional representation designed so there would never be majority government and parties would have to work together. The fact that the MSM get all giggly when the Nats fail to secure a majority just goes to show how desperate the establishment is to keep control of Scotland and it's resources. The people will decide! #weareonourway
I would prefer if the UK had a similar system as that is very much set up as a choice of two with almost no chance of any other party breaking that monopoly.
Hahahaha you said 2 have a monopoly! I shall not be popping in, I like you and think you are decent, but sort yourself out FFS!!!!!!
Polling expert Prof Sir John Curtice said it was now unlikely, but not impossible, that the SNP would achieve an overall majority in the new Holyrood parliament. And he said there were clear signs that tactical voting by pro-UK voters in some parts of the country had been successful.
I'm honestly not so sure. We might well need a new party to emerge now that everybody can get behind. Labour are finished, imo.
I think they are against Scottish independence mate. They are the establishment. They like the status quo.
