As usual, Ballot Box Scotland has the numbers:  Stage 4 was Con 1997, SNP 1467. Green transfers: SNP 62, Lib Dem 42, Lab 32, Con 9, non transferable 31. I think that is a bit worse for the SNP than usual  So it started with a Conservative majority of 513 and finished as 530. Most of the Scottish by-elections are similar in this respect and on the few occasions where there is ultimately a different result this can be put down to the "random" choice of those who bother to select the nth choice out of n candidates. And to have adopted this once fashionable electoral idea we have large wards / divisions where local representation is watered down. This is only one example of why "Politics" is broken in a very, very big way. So I will again sign off. I wonder who you are to designate other people's choices as "random". And, to be pedantic, the "nth choice out of n candidates" is only ever counted in the crap Scottish computerised system. It has no mathematical or logical validity. |

James can you please explain what GWBWI means to a foreigner from Canada Good Week Bad Week Index. It is an attempt to create an objective measure of who has had a GWBW rather than the usual ‘It might have looked bad for party x but obviously because of…..’ discussions |
