@Carenanaas an awful lot of people — two thirds of all those who voted #SNP on the constituency ballot — did vote #BothVotesSNP. We don't have any evidence that anyone voted both votes #Green, but voters in only 8.9% of constituencies could have, so certainly not very many. If more SNP voters had voted Green on the list, we would have more #ScottishIndependence MSPs although fewer of them might have been SNP.

Which party would have lost seats under those circumstances I don't know.

@radiojammor Yes, this is pretty much what I was suspecting. The #SNP's crazy, selfish, tribal, unpatriotic #BothVotesSNP was really a dagger to the heart of the #ScottishIndependence movement.

They sabotaged #IndyRef2 with 'only SNP votes count to a mandate', and they sabotaged a potentially overwhelming pro-indy majority with 'both votes SNP'.

Tribal politician are the curse of Scotland.

@BarneyDellar @ScottishGreens I think that virtually all of the actual #SNP voters did vote #BothVotesSNP.

Mind you, only very detailed polling could test whether that hunch is true.

@acs @ScottishGreens Yes, that's true. But I don't have the intellectual muscle this afternoon to compute the possible ripple through.

It's a bloody good thing for #ScottishIndependence, though, that so many people voted #SNP constituency, #Green list, because if we'd all voted 'both votes' for our favourite party, we would probably not have a pro-independence majority.

#BothVotesSNP was always a 'party before country' slogan -- anti-independence slogan.

@patrickhadfield H'mmm... When you look at the full figures, only 38.2% of the electorate voted #SNP on the constituency vote (full disclosure, I'm one of those, and I am *not* an SNP supporter these days!) So when you say that 27% voted SNP on the list, that's 71.2% of SNP voters.

#BothVotesSNP has always been a party-before-country, anti-independence policy. Yes, it certainly boosted #ReformUKLtd's seats at the expense of @ScottishGreens.

RT by @christia_allard: A re-elected SNP government will protect free prescriptions, free eye tests, free tuition, free bus travel, lower Council Tax, free school meals, the Baby Box and funded childcare, while going further to help families with the cost of living.

Make it #BothVotesSNP tomorrow.

RT by @christia_allard: We are in touching distance of an SNP majority that will cut your cost of living, lock Farage out and secure the choice of independence - but it will only happen if you vote for it tomorrow.

Every vote will count. #BothVotesSNP

RT by @christia_allard: We have the energy. We just don’t have the power.

With independence we can lower electricity bills, support community ownership of renewables, and make sure Scotland’s energy wealth benefits the people who live here.

Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a fresh start with independence.

RT by @christia_allard: A re-elected SNP government will put a price cap on a basket of essential foods in large supermarkets, including basics like bread, milk and eggs, so families can afford the essentials and no one is priced out of a balanced diet.

Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

RT by @christia_allard: Two days until the election and the choice is clear.

I want to urgently cut the cost of living, with lower bus fares and cheaper essential foods, and secure the fresh start of independence for Scotland.

Other parties only talk about stopping us. #BothVotesSNP this Thursday. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
