What I would like to see is not the above, but I can't see that happening.

Not because I think that's what will happen, but it'll cheer up the conservatives :-)

4 Evil tory scum who should be strung up from the nearest lamppost as they are denying us our FFRRREEEEDDDDDDUUUuUUUBBBBBB
5 Greens
6 Nutters who shout at biscuits

Over all majority

I would say none

I think the SNP might be in for a nasty surprise

And i want to leave scotland as i am no longer welcomed by the majority

1. SNP 40%
2= Labour 22%
2= Tory 22%
4= LDs
4= Greens.

What do you mean my percentages are worthless in this complex list vote based system?

There is no mention of the Conservative Party on their election literature, just lots of mentions of Ruth...

SNP victory is guaranteed - sadly but I am hoping that Wee Jimmys support has peaked and its downhill from here.

my guess..

overall indy vote count will end up around the same, I expect SNP will loose votes to the Scottish Greens.
Labour slide and torygirl might get a new friend as independence v immigration will introduce an interesting slant to 'what is nationalism?'
turnout will be way down, guessing 45%.

pop corn out...

Is 45% not the norm?

It'll be at least 2 up on previous years. I always thought they were all as bad as each other so didn't bother voting, but now me and the missus will vote just to go against the snp. Probably the torys, although maybe a better chance with labour to try and stop snp. Decisions decisions.
