Votes wasted is irrelevant, seats won matters There is not one region where A4U is the best placed party, over Lib Dem, labour or Tory, to gain seats. Not one To say otherwise is ignorant of the process or lying Scotland needed tactical voting in the constituencies AND the list

We offered that. I can tell you, next time these parties will not get the kid gloves. They were offered a chance for a majority. They don't want one. They do not want to govern. Do-nothing opposition is easier for them. I HOPE they do win seats, but they're not trying to.

You’re saying the three main parties refused to work with you (when you offered literally nothing of value to them) and your answer to that is to punish the ProGB voting public by adding a fourth party to the list? You don’t see how that makes you the bad guys do you.

Oh right. Were the 3 main pro-UK parties just about to announce widespread tactical constituency voting before A4U came along and spoiled everything? Rascals.

Given that they still haven’t I’m not sure why you’re making out you’ve won some sort of victory. What exactly have you achieved? You won’t take seats from the Greens or SNP & you haven’t convinced labour and Lib Dem to stand down constituency candidates.

For months, we were the sole champions of tactical constituency voting and a list only model. Douglas Ross copied our tactical voting idea and Alex Salmond copied out list model. Why won't we take seats from the Greens? Their seats in Lothian and West Scotland are very winnable.

Because their seats, while winnable, are more likely to be won by Lib Dem, who I’m sure you know, didn’t field candidates in those regions in 2016 but in 2011 they got over 5% of the vote

Oh really? Unfortunately, your tweet shows the danger of relying on information you find on the first page on Wikipedia. Can I suggest you dig a little deeper into the list votes per party in those regions in 2016 and come back to me with a properly researched answer next time?

We have to face a grim truth: Labour, the Lib Dems and the Conservatives are not in it to win it. Possibly it's fatalism, perhaps it suits opposition MSPs to pull in £64,074 a year and have no real responsibility. It's a pathetic state of affairs and they deserve a massacre.

Been saying for months these people are not interested in governing Scotland, they want a cosy life picking up a decent salary, expenses and pension. All to raise an odd objection

A token opposition is a broken democracy
