Jim McLean's Ghost Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hopefully three more seats go SNP/Green at the very least. Then a coalition can happen. SNP should get seats in the South list and the Highlands list. Think Green can pick up one in the Central region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 True, just doesn't feel right The formula seems really iffy too. SNP get 41% of the vote but no seats That's the whole point of the formula. It tries to balance out the results of the constituencies by giving representation to parties which gained a reasonable share of votes without winning (m)any seats. In 2007, Labour won 37 constituency seats to the SNP's 21, despite the SNP actually taking a greater share of the vote. This was balanced out by the SNP gaining 26 seats to Labour's 9 on the list, thus handing the SNP victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2011 the SNP benefited from being over-represented, this time it looks like the Tories are the ones getting a slight boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
