ALAN Crocket (Letters, January 21) in his response to my letter makes my case stronger, not weaker. In 2016 the SNP won 59 constituency seats, up six from 2011, but dropped from 16 to four on the list. Is it realistic to make all planning based on such a large increase in constituency seats won? I have had too many disappointments over my 29-year membership of the SNP to allow this to happen. The small drop between constituency and list in 2016 was only 2% but this was enough to slash the number of list seats, so we can’t take any chances in this key election. The 2011 overall majority which gave us the 2014 referendum required the 16 list seats.
