Here's one to warp your mind. Did you know technically when people say SNP 1, they are actually not correct. Because although a constituency candidate might me a party member, you're actually voting for the person not the party in the constituency. True story.
As for voting for a different party on the list. This is not "cheating" nor is it "gaming" anything. You're given two ballots for a reason - to make a choice. It was specifically designed to give you the option of voting for a person on the constituency and a party on the list.
The choice is yours on whichever you vote for, even if different. So voting for a person (who also happens to be a member of the SNP) on the constituency, then for a different party on the list, isn't gaming, it isn't cheating - It's called VOTING.
And as for SNP1 | Another 2, well that's just easier to say than "Vote for a person on the constituency who also happens to be SNP | Vote for a different party and use your right to vote how you choose on the regional ballot.
