More idiocy
The second vote is where supporters of independence can maximise pro-independence representation by voting for parties that won few or no constituency seats.
The above quote is from the Project Arbroath website. I post it here as a glaring example of the ‘Magic Voting Strategy’ fallacy. I refer to the quaint notion that Scotland’s cause can be progressed by voting for one or more parties none of which is proposing a plan for restoring Scotland’s independence.
Voters cannot possibly “maximise pro-independence representation“ in the Scottish Parliament by voting for a party or parties all of which are clueless about the process by which independence can be restored.
The quote reflects the infantile idea that because a party mentions ‘independence’ a few times that qualifies them as a pro-independence party worthy of the support of those of us who see the restoration of independence as an overarching priority.
It doesn’t!
Not if you are serious about the constitutional issue. If you are serious about the constitutional issue, you will want to vote for a party that proposes a clear and credible plan for restoring Scotland’s independence. None of the nominally pro-independence parties is proposing such a plan. All of them are using ‘independence’ solely as an electioneering tool.
There is no genuine party of liberation in Scotland. Project Arbroath joins the list of those trying to deceive pro-independence voters into thinking there’s a win for Scotland’s cause by deploying a ‘Magic Voting Strategy’.
There isn’t!
Here's the problem Peter..apart from our traitorous politicians.... not enough Scots read your substack or even 'the National'...that's the sticking point..they don't understand anything. They don't seem to understand that the American military have doubled flights at Prestwick.( just thought I'd throw that in..while the SG are voting to stop american flights/ troops landing here.) They don't understand the voting 1 and 2. So I want the FPTP brought back. The cesspit use it..why can't we. Yes I know SD says the other system is best but ah dinna care.I want a system that the Scots can identify with...ie..the ane wi' aw' the votes wins. Simples!( SD will greet no doot)
And while on the subject of american military using our country like a base..what do we do if we vote to stop them and they keep doing it? Shoot the b*st*rds?This is what happens when you have a foreign hostile nation o' turds running yer country. We could shoot them as well.
In fact declare UDI and anyone not doing as we say..we shoot them. I reckon that would focus foreign english and foreign american minds...fairly quickly...Wid ye think?
For OUR Scotland and her dozy weans.
Chances of Liberate Scotland getting a seat are absolute zero - not even all activists have heard of them let alone the voting public. Chances of Alba winning a seat with their problems are about 2 Kelvin, and that's being generous.
