I've put together a breakdown of Scotland's 8 List regions, with the SNP's vote calculated to reflect the division implemented by AMS.

This demonstrates the ineffectiveness of SNP/SNP voting for most pro-independence supporters. The data is here:

Central region: SNP won 9/9 seats.
AMS list handicap: 9 (+1) = 10
Actual SNP list votes: 129,082 (47.7%)
Effective SNP list votes: 12,908
SNP returns: 0 seats.
List returns: 4 Labour & 3 Tory MSPs from 110,705 (40.9%) votes.

Glasgow region: SNP won 9/9 seats.
AMS list handicap: 9 (+1) = 10
Actual SNP list votes: 111,101(44.8%)
Effective SNP list votes: 11,110
SNP returns: 0 seats.
List returns: 4 Labour & 2 Tory MSPs from 88,684 (35.7%) votes.

Highlands region: SNP won 7/9 seats.
AMS list handicap: 7 (+1) = 8
Actual SNP list votes: 81,600 (39.7%)
Effective SNP list votes: 10,200
SNP returns: 1 seat.
List returns: 2 Labour & 3 Tory MSPs from 67,587 (33%) votes.

Lothian region: SNP won 6/9 seats.
AMS handicap division - 6 (+1) = 7
Actual SNP List vote: 118,546 (36.2%)
Effective SNP list vote: 16,935
SNP returns: 0 seats.
List returns: 3 Tory & 2 Labour MSPS from 142,963 (43.7%) votes.

Mid Scotland and Fife Region: SNP won 8/9 seats.
AMS handicap applied 8 (+1) = 9
Actual SNP list votes: 120,128 (41.3%)
Effective SNP list votes: 13,347
SNP returns: 0 seats.
List returns: 4 Tory & 2 Labour MSPs from 124,666 (42.8%) votes.

North East Scotland region: SNP won 8/9 seats.
AMS handicap: 8(+1) = 9
Actual SNP List vote: 137,086 (44.7%)
Effective SNP List vote: 15,231
SNP returns: 0 seats.
List returns: 4 Tory and 2 Labour MSPs from 124,639 (40.6%) votes.

South Scotland region: SNP won 4/9 seats.
AMS handicap: 4(+1) = 5
Actual SNP List vote: 120,217(38.3%)
Effective SNP List vote: 24,043
SNP returns: 3 seats.
List returns: 2 Tory and 2 Labour MSPs from 156,825 (49.9%) votes.

West Scotland region: SNP won 7/9 seats.
AMS handicap 7 (+1) = 8
Actual SNP List vote: 135,827 (42.2%)
Effective SNP list vote: 16,978.
SNP list returns: 0 seats.
List returns 3 Labour and 3 Tory MSPs from 144,072 (44.7%) votes.

Scotland total:
List votes: 953,587 (41.7%)
Effective list votes in each region combined: 120,752
List total: 4/56 seats (7%)

This is how AMS operates.

This is why SNP/SNP is de facto enablement of british party MSPs.

If independence is your priority, please vote SNP/Alba.
