Poll: Pro-Indy tactical vote for Greens cost SNP an overal majority TACTICAL voting for the Scottish Greens on the Holyrood list cost the SNP an overall majority, and may have made independence less likely, a new survey has suggested. Pollsters found around half of those who voted Green on the list did so wanting to elect as many pro-independence MSPs as possible, rather than actively supporting the party. However the result was to leave the SNP one short of a majority, making it easier for Boris Johnson to refuse Nicola Sturgeon the power to hold another referendum. The Greens won a record eight seats on May 6 while the SNP won 64 out of 129.
