| GVC Greater Voter Choice | Voter is given 2 votes (one for a party and one for a candidate) where they are able to split their vote between parties |
| BSP Benefits Smaller Parties | AMS is good for small parties as they are better and more fairly represented and the voter does not see a vote for them as 'wasted' as under FPTP |
| G4C Good For Conservatives | AMS saved the Scottish conservatives from political extinction. In 1999 all 18 Cons MSPs were from the list - none were voted for from FPTP constituencies. 2011 Cons 3rd largest part in Scottish Parliament |
| E1PD End to 1 Party Domination | AMS was designed to produce coalitions. In 2007 SNP won the most seats but did not get an overall majority. In 1999&2003 Labour won most seats but again did not get an overall majority |
