The Ulster error: why unionist unity is a terrible idea that shrinks the pro-UK electorate, gifts swing voters to the separatists, alienates its practitioners from British politics, and hollows out the case for Britain | my latest for @SpecCoffeeHousehttps://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-a-unionist-alliance-will-never-work-in-scotland …

It's telling that none of the A4U backlash against these pieces is actual counter-evidence in support of the idea that unionist unity works. Just sarcastically quoting my arguments and saying my name weirdly. Your 'better class of unionist MSP' to be.

Your premise that anyone who votes for a pro-UK voter is a 'unionist voter' who'll back any of them in any combination is still just wrong, though.

Then how we split the "unionist vote"?

Because there are such things as 'unionist voters', they're just not the same as the overall electorate for pro-UK parties, so it makes sense to talk about them in other contexts.

Even though the SNP vote share and Yes polling is essentially the same? There are also pro-UK Scots who do not vote because they feel the existing parties are awful.

If A4U bring out a lot of non-voting unionists that's great, but there's nothing in life less certain than an appeal to non-voters so I'll believe it when I see it. And yes, I have recounted the evidence about Labour and LD voters enough so I assume you've read it.
