    Thig Ar Latha!!!.

    I have seen a few Tory leaflets now and there is not one policy announcement in them.All they are saying is even if you are not a Tory lend us your vote to stop the SNP.
    I remember their message in 2016 it was the exactly the same.The 'Scottish Tories' remind me of a football team who set out to stifle their more gifted opponents by spoiling the game,FACT.
    Been struggling to find if he had put himself up for a seat in the Scottish Parliament, and it is truly shameful that the Leader of a supposedly Scottish party has put himself up for a list seat! Surly if you want to be considered as a credible candidate to be the main opposition, you would put yourself up for winning a seat outright, especially when i believe the Tories are not supporters of Proportional Representation.

    I’m not sure what to think of Alba or Salmond atm so will just do the 2 vote snp thing . Hopefully this time they do something quickly, referendum should be done pronto if they win.

    We have 5 votes in the Bedsit and all 5 have went to the SNP on the constituency but a 2nd SNP vote on the regional list is wasted so our 5 have been lent to Alex and Alba.
    Our postal votes have already been sent.I have posted it before but will do so again for clarity.In 2016 in the north east NO SNP candidates were elected on the regional list because they had won nearly all the constituency seats.

    The above shows that although the SNP hammered the other parties on the list vote 4 Tories,2 Labour and a Liberal were elected that's proportional representation at work,had there been an Alba party and enough people voted for it the Tories would never have won 4 list seats.
