Best ever list vote and joint best constituency for the Greens here (certainly, of any BBS covered poll), though Ipsos do tend to be on the higher end. Worst Labour constituency share of this term. Alba such a tiny proportion of respondents they don't even register; was 2% on list last poll.

🚨 A new poll has us more than doubling our number of MSPs!
It's clear that we need bold solutions to the cost of living crisis and the climate emergency.
Together we can build a fairer, greener, independent Scotland.

NEW: Independence support in the lead as Labour keep losing support in new Ipsos polling
Meanwhile the Greens and Reform are tied on the list on 17% each - will the Scottish media start to better reflect that? Don't bet on it

Im doubtful of new pollsters in Scotland and F.O.N. show why.
Record Green shares are nice. But prompting list VI with “second vote” phrasing increases risk of people conflating with STV 2nd pref, and retrenches the devaluation of list votes.
Greens can reach 15%. But I don’t trust these numbers.

🚨 Our latest Scottish Parliament and Westminster polling ...
Headline figures:
- SNP far ahead with Reform closing in ... they're still predicted to get no Scottish MPs though
- Big pro-indy majority at Holyrood, with 75 SNP and Green MSPs elected

Neck and neck for 3rd and touching distance to 2nd. Really a testament to what’s possible, and a sign of what we can aim for as members vote for their Holyrood candidates.
Also 3 (!!!) Green constituency wins would be sensational, and proof that when we stand on every ballot voters will choose us.

That would put us above both the Tories and the Lib Dems.
We're at a crossroads. It’s more important now than ever to have a strong voice fighting for people and planet, not the super-rich.

Great Green numbers in the first non Survation/ Norstat poll in months. Taking on Reform.
Greens must remain bold and stand for our values. Voters are ignoring right-wing fearmongering and show growing desire to vote Green on every ballot.
We should give them that chance wherever possible.

Gothenburg is the rainiest city in the world. It’s cold. And hilly.
So why is #Edinburgh too wet, cold and hilly to have a proper bike network?

Remember in Glasgow 46% of households do not have access to a car.
And national data also shows that car ownership goes up very consistently with household income.
2/3rds of cars are owned by above average income households. Richest 10% own about 5x as many as people with lowest incomes.

I’m so excited to share that I’m to be the Green candidate for the Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart by-election on 26 June.
I want to bring care back into politics, to commit strongly to solidarity, safer roads, tenants rights, and green spaces in our ward.
I look forward to the next 6 weeks!
