You can get any result you want on a spreadsheet with if s. SNP/other only stands any chance IF everyone votes Green second. That will not happen even the activists will not be doing it. PR works the Con, Lab, Lib ,Ref parties will all get the percentage of seats to votes.

I have thought long and hard and finally came to my conclusion.
SNP 1 and 2.
If you disagree with me that is fine. If you badger me or insult me that is not.
Now to concentrate on getting support and the possibility of independence up.

Westminster will never do right by Scotland. Jobs would move north and they will loose votes in England if they did.
To stay in power Westminster parties have never needed Scottish support.

Westminster will never do right by Scotland. They cannot if they do they will loose support in England. Plan and simple.

Westminster parties only need England's votes that is what they need to stay in power.

I am sure you have thought this through. What about the voters that will never vote Green or those that will never vote SNP?

Herding cats is one expression that comes to mind.
