Most people in the upcoming Scottish Parliament election will end up voting for one of the ‘Big Five’ parties – the SNP, the Conservatives, Labour, the Lib Dems or the Greens.
However, there are dozens of other smaller parties all vying for people’s votes on May 6.
Some of these smaller parties focus on a specific issue they are passionate about, such as protecting animal rights or aiming for gender equality in the workplace.
There are also some parties whose sole aim is to make sure the SNP either gets a majority or does not.
