There is a lot of confusion about how the voting system works and MSPs
are allocated in the Scottish Parliament, particularly because of the regional
list. The purpose of this article is not to tell you who to vote for, but just
to explain how the Additional Member System works in allocating seats to MSPs
in the Scottish Parliament. Another issue this will clear up that is thrown
about that says to maximize the number of Independence supporting MSPs, you have
to vote SNP twice. When you understand how the Additional Member System works
and allocates MSPs you will see that this is not the case at all.
