Congratulations to @rightsandroses for growing the Green vote in the Linn by-election yesterday, overtaking both the LDs and the Tories. Many thanks to everyone who helped with the campaign.

Congratulations also to new Councillor John Carson on his election. (@PostmanCarson on twitter)

I am not saying they should have; but if every Green voter had transferred to SNP, the SNP candidate would have won.

@AndrewD @rightsandroses The Labour lead was a bit bigger than that, but out of curiosity, what do you think the SNP ought to do differently to persuade those voters?

@patrickharvie @rightsandroses I am not in favour of a one party state and would not wish all green voters to vote SNP 2. I have to disagree with you on the math; otherwise Labour would have won by the previous round.
