Alex Salmond's Alba party highlights that the only way to win in May is to vote for different parties on the constituencies and on the lists. Salmond's plan would result in a huge Separatist majority. So what can we do about it...?
On our side, if ordinary people are prepared to vote tactically to get rid of the SNP, why aren't the parties that are supposed to represent them not doing it? @DouglasRoss@AnasSarwar@WillieRennie need to STAND DOWN candidates that cannot win.
A ONE-TIME tactical voting alliance is a win-win for the major parties, and could result in up to 30 seats being taken from the SNP. Yet, the parties have given up. They are content to be the opposition. And, despite their claims, everyone knows they can't win on their own.
How Scottish journalists appease Nationalists: Exhibit A: @alexmassie
1. 'As always' = Let's start by condescending to our readers. Massie knows best. Submit to his wisdom. 2. Uses 'independence' when it's actually 'separation' and 'breaking up the UK'. Stop using Nationalist framing!
3. 'the respectable idea of independence'. Wut? Breaking up the UK is not a 'respectable' idea. It's a DESTRUCTIVE policy pushed by incompetent bigots, who have nothing better to offer than division and hate. Journalists should be ASHAMED to support it.
