So which ever party has the most votes gets the first seat, 2nd most votes gets the second seat etc. then you go around in that order until there are no more seats left right?
The next 'phase' of the exercise is to examine the outcome if the NO parties employed the same strategy. I'm sure this could be modelled in a computer. If they used the same methodology and created 'NO Scotland' (Vole party) and a 'NO protect the Union' (Hyena Party), could they negate or 'over benefit' from that arrangement? Worth exploring, because with the money available (dark or otherwise) to the NO groups (plus access to TORY and government databases) it would be easier for them to 'sell' this idea to their voter base.
My cat defected to the Dog party, just before the 18th September 2014 ;) ;) Question, see the first vote and the second vote. See the votes getting split up using the D'hondt method, is it both votes per person that get's counted. So basically say I voted the dog party twice, would that be counted, or would it only be my second vote that would be counted, for dividing up the vote. Would be great if I could get an answer as time is running short ;) xx
+Angie Rodgers Both votes are counted. Assuming, like most of us, you are an SNP constituency voter your first vote will help elect your SNP constituency candidate. If you vote SNP in the second regional vote you will be part of the 45% (Survation Feb 2016). This is divided by the number of constituency MSP's already elected plus 1. As this number is likely to be around 10, it makes it highly unlikely that an SNP candidate can get elected by this method. Your second vote would be counted but is highly unlikely to "count"
Hi Spike this is a great video on the explanation of how the D'Hondt method works but unfortunately as a street campaigner for independence I've found that the video is too long to show people on the streets to explain to them how the D'Hondt method works.Would it be possible to make a shorter version of this video that is under 3 minutes?
My question is global wide and many different answers but they are all opposite. Some people replied that the question is stupid, others replied good question! My question: how much affects the election results the blank votes AND null votes? What about absentism? How it affects the Hondt system? An answer was: blank and null votes they turn all valid to the party with less votes.
Been posting this video with a lot of my Face Book posts and replies. I had to stop doing that. It makes one mistake that the straw grabbers (Salmond haters) go for. In the first example of a Scottish election, It shows that the Dogs (SNP) get a 58% majority compared to the Cat/bunny coalition. In reality those figures would be 53% percent for the Cats/Bunnies. Unfortunately, the straw grabbers love to point out the 58%, rather than do research to discover the real world 47% figure. . But it is an excellant explanation of the Scotland voting system and why it is inherently dishonest towards voters.
The EU election does actually have constituencies... just Scotland is one constituency but where I live (south east) is also a constituency. It’s not UK wide so it is constituency.

Best explanation yet. Didn't understand any of the others but this is crystal clear.
This is the best video I have found to explain the Scottish election voting system and why tactical voting works!
Brilliant explanation - I think you are about to go viral!
Bloody brilliant...
these are much better then human elections those dogs are so cute!!
