And here is the problem Reform face. Given the figures from Scotland in that YouGov poll, the Westminster seats allocated would be..
SNP 49, LibDem 5, Con 2, Labour 1, Green 0, Reform 0. Reform, by splitting the unionist vote, massively help the SNP. |

In the holyrood voting, there is little point voting snp in
list, if snp overachieve seats to votes in the constituency... I believe they were voting snp/green to achieve a better outcome, so an opinion poll isn't always going to fully pick that up unless they prompt for it. |

By:
Yep, tactical voting plays a big part for Holyrood. The list is the only way that most parties can achieve seats, particularly the tories.

Reform UK caught red-handed — AGAIN.
A “polling company” pushing a poll claiming Reform is the most trusted on the economy and naming Zia as Chancellor turns out to be a brand-new company registered at the EXACT same address as Reform UK. Same address. Fresh registration. Lol |
