The Scottish Greens were 1,000 votes shy of beating the Tories to the final seat in the Glasgow Region.

The 'Independent Green Voice' got 2,000, much higher than any of the other crank parties.

I think it's fair to say that voter confusion has cost us a second seat in Glasgow.
Looking at the other region that 'Independent Green Voice' stood in, South Scotland, we see a similar story.

The Greens were just over 100 votes short of the final list seat, IGV got over 1,000.

In fact if all those voters had gone to the Scottish Greens we would have seat 5.
Ridiculous decision.

Looks like the party tried and failed to prevent it at the first opportunity several years ago.

Doubt we can do anything now. https://twitter.com/ninabake2/status/1391121789749796865?s=20
