| Question | Answer |
| 2DC 2 Different Classes | AMS leads to two different classes of MSP. Constituency MSP consider themselves the real MSP this has lead to 'turf wars' between them. "I regard list MSPs as a breed. They have no constituency, they have no role and they are not elected by anyone" Brian Wilson |
| NAG4SP Not Always Good for Smaller Parties | Rainbow Parliament of 2003 has failed to be replicated since. In 2011 the Greens were squeezed out by the rise of the SNP |
| DALC Don't Always Lead to Coalitions | A voting system designed to produce coalitions has produced a majority government. |
| SVUR Some Voters Under-Represented | For example ; if you vote SNP in Edinburgh North there will be no-one elected to represent your views local constituency MSP would be Labour's Malcolm Chisholm. No SNP list MSPS in the Lothians' despite a huge 111 000 voting SNP! |
| NBE No By-Elections | AMS does not allow for by-elections when an MSP dies or resigns ( produces unelected MSPs) the party can freely choose who they wish to replace him/her. Anne McLaughlin replaced Bashir Ahmad as Glasgow list MSP when he died in 2009 |
