As im myself
I am I thinking about it too much?
Desired outcome: SNP largest party, Conservative advance, Green advance, SSP collapse.
Vote 1: Hamilton South
__________________
Incumbent: Tom McCabe (LAB) Majority: 4824
Plan: Vote SNP
Vote 2: Regional
Here's where it gets tricky: If I vote SNP here too, and they win at constituency level the vote is theoretically wasted. I wish for the Conservatives to return Margaret Mitchell (They finished 3rd overall in 2003). But if the SSCUP, SSP or Respect and OCV should they run pose a threat and the Greens become the party best placed to hold them back from winning should I vote Green? If the Tories collapse and the Greens do poorly, but OCV do well and the SSP are the main challengers should I vote SSP (!)
Of course
We won't know until next spring
But at the moment it stands like this...
Regional: 1st choice: Conservative
2nd choice: Green
3rd choice: SNP
