@StoneDunk @LibDems @ZackPolanski It’s the result from 2024 GE where Greens polled 4.8% They weren’t excluded - just couldn’t fit them on the page.

@profbarrydoyle @LibDems @ZackPolanski My ‘upset’ stemmed from the fact the literature didn’t even mention the Greens. 🫤

@StoneDunk @LibDems @ZackPolanski My worry is Greens will be like the SDP in 1983. Poll 20+% everywhere but always be second letting in a right wing party. I get the we must contest every seat mentality, but splitting the centre left vote 3 ways only benefits the right. Vote for party most likely to beat Reform

@ProfGildart @20th_Centurygal I went to college with his sister. We used to get the train home together (me and the sister - not Pete!) 😹😹

The good thing about first past the post is it provides clear, stable government...
If you add DUP (not shown) the right would scrape a majority.
The alternative would be a rainbow coalition

Purple and orange no blue!

The @LibDems won more council by election seats than any other party and secured the second highest vote share of any party. It really is a two horse race!

🚨BREAKING🚨
MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth with an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

@ElectionMapsUK I agree! I attended the count for the very first Scottish Parliament election in 1999. It was long and complex as it was the first PR election in Britain plus there were elections for Lothian (?) Council in the same ballot boxes. I was sitting up at about 5.30 with David Steele!

Despite this being the preferred option for my sleep schedule, I'm afraid to say this is utter woke nonsense.

NEW: Holyrood 2026 will NOT have an overnight count Instead, votes will be counted on the Friday after the polls close Nervous waits all round and, critically, more time for spin/narrative setting for winners and losers...
