I believe the Real Greens have just been IGV'd out of a second seat in Mid Scotland and Fife. Huge questions for Electoral Commission to answer after two elections of this.

Summarising today's polls on Scotland Tonight: a moment my most angry "Ballot Box Scotland is a Green stooge" detractors will feel very vindicated by... but I didn't make the polls add over 1% and *4* MSPs to the Green tally in my projection model today, take it up with Ipsos, YouGov and Survation!

It's critical that we secure that pro-independence majority tomorrow and stop Reform from becoming the largest opposition party - the best way to do both is by voting @scottishgreens.org on your regional (peach coloured) ballot paper 💚🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A lot has happened since 2014. If Scotland elects a pro-independence majority, that's a democratic mandate to pursue independence.

This is less than 1 minute. Short discussion with Alan Cumming highlights that SNP 1 and 2 will benefit Reform. Give your second vote to a different progressive party. Reform know they can benefit from the second vote. But most importantly, VOTE on 7th May! 🗳️ Spread the word 📣

A shockingly quiet period for polling despite the looming election is finally broken with a very much "as you were" feeling: the SNP on track to win, Labour and Reform scrapping for second, and possibly improved Greens.
