The Nationwide has an “EXCLUSIVE” story immediately.
We assume you’re meant to be outraged.
We’ve bought 60 seconds to spare, so let’s do the sums.
– Measuring by essentially the most beneficiant potential criterion out there (counting Holyrood listing votes, somewhat than constituency ones, hybrid totals or Westminster ones), the Scottish Greens are supported by 8.1% of the Scottish inhabitants.
– Scotland has 8.2% of the inhabitants of the UK.
– Which means the Scottish Greens are supported by [0.81 x 0.82 =] 0.66% of the UK voters, (Query Time is particularly a UK politics present. Scotland has its personal separate and extra political debate present, Debate Evening).
– There are on common slightly below 39 episodes of Query Time a yr.
Which means to be represented in proportion to their help, which is the present’s acknowledged precept, the Scottish Greens needs to be on as soon as each 151.52 episodes, which at 38.8 episodes a yr means as soon as each 3.91 years.
So in the event that they have been on the 22 April 2021 episode, which they have been, the BBC received’t be overdue searching Patrick Harvie’s particular booster cushion for an additional look till 17 March 2025.
The Nationwide is at present providing potential readers a full yr’s subscription for lower than 2p every week. Frankly, of us, anybody taking over the deal is being robbed.
