Imagine a hypothetical regional list.
Here’s the votes for last seat (divisors based on seats already won applied):
SNP 100
CON 95
LAB 60
LD 20
Who’s won?
Now, who would win the seat if 10 SNP supporters ‘voted tactically’ for AFI/ISP?
CON 95
SNP 90...

I’ve always thought the AMS was a decent electoral system, but it’s biggest flaw seems to be that swathes of the electorate seem incapable of understanding how it works. Or they simply refuse to because it destroys their ‘beliefs’ about ‘tactical voting’ and ‘gaming’ the system.
Thankfully, this failure to grasp the facts seems to exist also on the other side (judging by A4U’s claim to harness unionist votes to ‘annihilate separatists’.
Thankfully too, those who imagine they can defy arithmetic seem to be a tiny sect confined to the social media bubble.

"Tactical Independence Voting Can Wipe Out the Unionists – Let's Do It"
The title itself is completely misleading. Modelling of Panelbase poll shows that unless indy Party X can get 6% bare minimum, unionists are likely to *gain* seats.
If there's two indy parties, even worse.

"Kenny McAskill has raised his head above the parapet & treated the movement like adults by admitting what is obvious to all but the willfully blind."
The people who are willfully blind are those who continually spout assertions without any data modelling to back up their claims

“The brutal but honest truth: anyone who still persists in their beliefs about ‘tactical voting’, in the face of all the algorithmic evidence to the contrary, is as impervious to the facts as any Brexiter or anti-vaxxer.” #TacticalVoting #DHondt #AMS #Indyref2 #Yes2
"The single most important aspect of the discussion witnessed over the last week, is that it has once again highlighted just how widespread is the failure to understand the practical operation of the Additional Member allocation process”
