Greens publish voting guide Print E-mail
Tuesday, 01 May 2007

The Scottish Greens have published a guide to effective voting in order to help supporters and sympathisers make the most of their votes.

The Greens ran a very successful ‘Second Vote Green’ campaign in the 2003 election and have published the guide to try and persuade voters that voting Green on the list vote allows them more say than voting for a major party, where the vote “may well be wasted”.

Green campaign director Mark Ruskell said: “Although the maths of this election are complicated, the bottom line is that where a party has already elected several MSPs, regional votes for that party may well be wasted. Across the country, depending on where you live, voting Labour, SNP or Lib Dem may literally make no difference to the outcome.

“Have a look at how it works in your region. Ironically, people used to say that a Green vote was a wasted vote, but under PR, more Green votes almost always elect more Greens, and last time it was Labour, SNP and Lib Dem votes that were wasted in large numbers."
