Party SNP John Swinney
Seats won 58 Last election 60 seats -2 seats

Labour
Seats won 17 Last election 20 seats -3 seats

Reform UK
Seats won 17 Last election 1 seats +16 seats

Green
Seats won 15 Last election 7 seats +8 seats

Conservative
Seats won 12 Last election 28 seats -14 seats

Liberal Democrats
Seats won 10 Last election 5 seats +5 seats

Now, Scotland has a form of PR so basically it reflects the vote share.

I am trying not to confuse you American's too much ;) blnymph understands this stuff. MJ might have a handle?

Scottish Greens is an Pro Scotland for independence party therefore I expect the SNP to form a coalition with the Greens. They might not and try run a minority government.

On the issue of scotland independence we are roughly split about 50/50.

To be honest just ignore my england council election thread out with reform uk made huge gains but they don't have PR. England doesn't have its own parliament but in a way UK parliament is it - it should have its own parliament.

To this day it amazes me why UK, USA, CA, don't have PR.

I would say in the UK the two party system is dead all that remains to be seen is if will switch to PR in (UK)

I will leave the Canadians to chip in if I see one on here. You guys should be on PR - your like a 3-4 party sys with first past post?

Germany will be PR?

Status: offline 		Oh dear, the German voting systems differ in details from state to state, but the federal parliament rules give the general outline: every voter has two votes, one for a direct candidate who wins by plurality, the other for a party block list, requiring usually 5 % of the total votes. Thus no votes are lost, and this gerrymandering absurdity won't work. It was designed to avoid all flaws of winner takes all and proportional systems by being a balanced compromise. The matters of balancing change from time to time.
I was very surprised to learn that the Kiwis took over our voting system so it might have some advantages indeed.

Yes 49%
No 45%
Undecided 5%

"Yes" are consistently leading our polls. Whilst the SNP did not get an outright majority in the Scottish Parliament the Scottish Greens are also pro independence and thusly together should a bill be introduced in the Scottish Parliament we have the votes to try and force another referendum.
I am going to pick out some bricks to repair Hadrian's wall, a shovel to dig a moat, a bag of and ravenous piranhas- 1 million just to be safe.

2029 is a bit away but if Farage Reform UK and the Tories win 2029 the Scottish yes vote will increase further. UK 2029 will be a mess unless they change first past the post.

All three of the smaller nations, within the UK frame work, for the first time ever have pro independent parties winning majorities.

With Bibi's and America's expansions, 7 wars, and kidnapping world leaders, the world will pivot into another recession causing the locals the world over to look out pitch forks.
