Scottish Greens @scotgp seat Margins, and the "Independent Green Voice" fascists spoilers. A thread.
In Central, the Greens got their seat by just 107 votes ahead of Labour getting a 4th seat. IGV had 1854.
In Glasgow, the Greens were 914 votes away from a 2nd seat, which would have denied the Tories a second seat.
IGV had 2210.
In South Scotland, the Greens were 115 votes short of getting a seat, behind Labour's 3rd. IGV got 1,690.
In North East Scotland, the Greens got their 1 seat with a margin of 4,309 votes. IGV got 2,019.
In West Scotland, the Greens were 5,972 safe getting their 1 seat, and not close to getting a second, but IGV did get 1,983.
IGV did not run in Highlands & Islands (Greens comfortable on 1), in Lothian (Greens fairly secure on 2), or in Mid Scotland and Fife (Greens comfortable on 1)
IGV out-performed other krank parties in every region they stood, like Freedom Alliance, Abolish, and Reform UK, and I didn't see or hear about any IGV campaigning in any of these regions that would make up for it, certainly not so consistently across the regions.
The only party they can be seen to have similar results to is the Scottish Family Party, who were actively campaigning, and whose real views were clearly and loudly advertised.
Whereas the 'Independent Green Voice' is made up of a holocaust denier and ex-BNP activists.
I apparently keep tagging the old twitter handle, that should be @scottishgreens
