It's the first time I have ever had a sign that independence is not the only thing that matters to SNP voters and I thank them for their tactical voting.

I imagine it will be back to grievance politics with a bang in Holyrood. I don't know why Labour,Lib Dems, Greens and Conservatives don't pull the plug on Holyrood. Maybe they are waiting for court cases to play out?

Think Farage had a big impact and I am not convinced that he has any solutions to the problems that face the new Labour government. He was a nuisance when he was an MEP and I think we will grow tired of his disruptive politics.
I don't think the SNP voters were tactical.

I think a few things happened:

1. the trust is gone after sturgeon had it for a long time
2. the snp have rabbited on about nothing but independence for so long most of us tired of it and them
3. the snp stopped talking about independence during campaigning which alienated their own floating support

After such a long time getting it easy people have simply said enough. It's volatile though and they can get them back for 2026 which i presume they will do by going back to the indy drum beat.
