If you are a Scottish Citizen who trusts Starmer, Farage, or Badenoch, above John Swinney then you are pulling our country ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ into the gutter that is where UK politics now permanently reside.
What will it take for you to show some belief and courage to actually back Scotland to succeed? Wakey wakey
In South Scotland and H&I it's got to be SNP1&2.
In all other areas its SNP1 Scottish Greens 2 for maximum indy seats in May.
Don't confuse Scottish Greens w/ Unionist, ex UKIP led, Independence Green Voice who some people may have mistakenly voted for last time

In a country as wealthy as Scotland, nobody should be struggling to make ends meet.
While the UK Labour government sits on its hands, the SNP will always act to help people with the cost of living using all powers we have - including capping bus fares and essential food prices.
The deadline for registering to vote in the Scottish election is midnight tomorrow (20 April). Many 16 & 17 year olds are not registered. Anyone over 16 resident in Scotland can vote in Scottish elections, you don't have to be a UK citizen. You can register online here

If SNP look close to a majority, with Labour and Reform competing to be the opposition, it should be clear that the indy movement, including SNP, should be lending their 2nd vote to the Greens to put them in opposition.

Donโt be fooled if youโre voting for the Green Party the second from top is not the actual Green Party they are a front for a right wing group in Scotland, donโt get caught out.
My latest blog piece. We can win an SNP majority despite the relentless hysteria of the anti-independence media in Scotland.

My concern is that if we get a supermajority then the unionists would go into full blown panic mode, and wouldn't care.
If we're not proactive, then we just end sitting back and taking it. The Scottish media would do nothing, in fact they'd cheer for it.
Only if Westminster don't move the goalposts again, which is quite possible.
I wouldn't put it past them to remove the supermajority caveat.
Demand a referendum if we win, and if denied, declare Holyrood sovereign and govern accordingly. Hold a confirmatory referendum in 3 or 4 years time.
BBC have announced 1 in 10 of their employees are being made redundant.
BBC Scotland staff will be culled at a higher rate post the Scottish parliamentary elections if they they fail this time to break the SNP
Thats their prime directive and the KPI (key performance indicator) they're measured on

Not a Labour voter (though I expect to vote some form of socialist after independence is regained), but genuinely feel for socialist Labour voters in Scotland who now can't be sure that their voting on the 7th won't end up aiding horrible Reform. โน๏ธโน๏ธ
Did an 8 year old write this?
Labour is in damage limitation mode, denying Offord's claim Sarwar offered to do a deal with Reform. If Offord's claim was in isolation, Labour might be on stronger ground dismissing it as a lie, but there have been multiple reports from independent sources that Labour would do a deal with Reform.
Updated SNP -> Scottish Green List vote swing impact:
Up to 20 additional indy supporting MSPs - thats 20 fewer unionists - a 40 seat swing and a 3/4th indy majority Scottish Parliament.
Super Majority (legally defined) attained with a 32.1% list swing from the SNP to the Scottish Greens.
Everyone hates Israel now, which is as it should be. But we all need to understand that Israel has never acted alone.
If Israel were acting alone, it would be an asshole with a pointy stick instead of an asshole with an attack helicopter. The west gave it the attack helicopter.
Run kids run! He's in the EPSTEIN FILES!

Them. Partners in a Union for 300 years, a union we were told was โvoluntaryโ, until we talked about leaving. Well we know that was a huge LIE. Them.
