At least 10 of the Scottish Parliament’s newly-elected members own more than one home, while six returning MSPs declared additional properties in the previous Holyrood session. Our latest:

...if the Greens had stood in every constituency, and their regional votes reflect how they would have performed, they would have won another two constituencies from the SNP, established another two SNP-Green marginals, and deprived the SNP of a further four constituencies.

It’s incredible that it’s controversial to say that the ballot that voters are voting tactically on is the FPTP one, but then that requires acknowledging the Greens as a legitimate and enduring part of the Scottish political landscape

No mincing of words - If I were a Scottish Green -> Scottish Labour defector from 2024, with trans friends, I'd be absolutely ashamed to have my name printed on letters on behalf of an openly transphobic Scottish Labour manifesto this election. That's soul-staining stuff.

There's so much wrong with this MRP, starting with having the Greens winning a share of the vote in every constituency when they're only standing in a handful. When you get into the individual constituency results, it gets even worse. Lib Dems *fifth* in Edinburgh Northern??

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

Given recent misinformation being spread about how these models work, here's an accessible explainer: This particular model involves two main procedures. The first involves predicting actual national party support based on the data available to us. To do so, I use LOESS regressions... 1/10

Very disappointed the Green amendment to increase footway maintenance by 20%, which would meet the Labour 2022 manifesto commitment, was voted down today. Astonishingly, Labour voted against their own manifesto commitment.

Last September, the Scottish Parliament made history by endorsing a Green proposal for a comprehensive package of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel – the first national parliament to do so. Yet the Scottish Government have so far done nothing to implement the boycott.

neatly shows how the boundary of Edinburgh Central has changed to give the Scottish Greens a genuine chance of winning the seat. The Tory vote has since collapsed and they might not even keep their deposit. 🟢Both Votes Green in Edinburgh Central🟢
