Scottish Conservatives

Scotland

Conservatives performed remarkably better in the 2021 Scottish Parliament elections than in the 2019 General Elections in Scotland giving the party, and the people of Scotland, a louder unionist voice in the governance of the UK.

In the 2021 Scottish Parliamentary elections, the Conservatives secured 24% of seats while the SNP only managed to reach just under 50%. On the contrary, in the unreformed Westminster elections in Scotland in 2019 the Conservatives were only able to secure 10% of the seats against an artificially inflated SNP.

76% of Westminster seats went to the SNP on only 45% of the vote. First Past the Post overrepresents the nationalists and threatens the Union.
