I explicitly endorsed tactical voting for the Lib Dems and Labour where it was appropriate. Just not for A4U.

And you were wrong. Both mistaken about the arithmetic and in the wrong to promulgate the falsehood.
@Alliance4Unity have been proved correct. What we said would happen, has happened! We supported the Tories where they had a chance of winning, campaigned for them. No more!1 antwoord 0 retweets 0 vind-ik-leuks -

No, I wasn't. And in any event I surely can't have been mistaken about the arithmetic and knowingly spreading a falsehood, that's either/or. But interesting to hear that A4U will now put their money where their mouth is in the constituencies.

We have no money! (Yet). We have ideas and arguments and new solutions.
BTW I did not say you knew the Tory propaganda was false.
But didn't some small voice question WHY the mighty and rich Tory party was spending so much time/money on A4U?2 antwoorden 0 retweets 0 vind-ik-leuks -

You don't need to be right to explain that, you're taking voters off the Tories either way.

So this was not about what was best for Scotland, but rather the risk of taking a few voters from the Tories? Even though taking some voters made no difference to their ambition of coming 2nd?

That's not what I said. You imply that the Tories spending money against A4U implies they think your case was right. It doesn't. They would be just as incentivised if your taking votes off them undermined the overall pro-UK position, as they claim.

If you see that implication, it may be there. However I don't think they cared whether our case was correct! I believe they have some other worry about A4U, derived from internal research.

If Tories cared about the PRO-UK vote they would not have stood hopeless candidates against Labour/LibDems, thereby letting the SNP win! Same goes for Labour and Lib Dems. Their actions demonstrate they do not care.

Please, even if you don't agree, accept that other people genuinely do not buy your idea that voters for pro-UK parties won't just switch between them at will.

There needs now to be a joint ticket in seats where the vote is heavily split. It has worked in NI in F&T.

God help Scottish unionism if it ever ends up in the cul-de-sac that 'unionist unity' has left Ulster unionism in.
