John Lambies Doos Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Yes. She voted with the SNP. Depending on how you look at it she respected party democracy or a complete joke figure. Or both She was for trident on question time last wk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'd like SNP to explain how they are going to magically replace all the direct and indirect jobs that Trident currently supports http://www.nuclearinfo.org/article/uk-trident-operational-berths/ministry-defence-reveals-just-520-faslane-jobs-depend-trident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 She was for trident on question time last wk! Indeed, she looks utterly weak and completey without credibility. She has no one to blame but herself. When you are a political weather cock your hypocrisy and shallowness will catch up with you eventually. She can't even pretend to have been swayed by the arguments it's that short a turnaround. All this posturing about being autonomous because: 1. Being Stronger for Scotland is an effective message and Labour are finally catching onto it and 2. She probably is too stupid to realise that Corbynism doesn't actually play that badly in Scotland without any sort of thought about what the long term, or even few days away, consequences of that position might be. Her speech at the weekend was awful. She would be a decent researcher or maybe a local councillor - I get the impression she does genuinely care about people but a national leader? Jeezo.I think she is genuinely is a bit dim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The best thing about her anti-Corbyn attitude a few months ago is that she voiced it right after he was emerging as the clear frontrunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotbawmad Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'd like SNP to explain how they are going to magically replace all the direct and indirect jobs that Trident currently supports You clearly don't understand opportunity costs if you can come out with a statement like that.

capybara Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/13951529.Trident_renewal_vote_scheduled_for_before_the_Holyrood_elections/ Looks like the Tories are going to push for an early vote on Trident. If the vote goes ahead before May I would think that would help the SNP. Not sure about Labour , I like this quote from their spokesperson A Labour spokesman said: “Scottish Labour opposes the renewal of Trident. Labour is reviewing our position and the views of Scottish Labour Conference will feed into this review.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 What's the general opinion on Trident in Scotland? Is there any polling on renewal and support/ apathy? Herald opinion poll in January had 25% of Brits against but 48% of the Scottish subsample against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34759626 Totally agree with Corbyn on this. Dangerous when the army starts commenting on political policy.

It does not matter what Corbyn's views on Trident are - an unelected General should not be sticking his beak in to what are political matters.

Kyle Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 To be fair, didn't Kezia vote against. Though she was a strong supporter of Trident previously Exactly. She wants to renew trident and voted against it. Ian Murray and Jeremy Corbyn are both strongly against it and abstained. It makes their public position confused and it also makes it easy to question their integrity. They just don't seem to learn that strong views one way or another will actually gain them votes, rather than their adopted indifference to everything.

Antlion Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thon daft SNP boy Angus Robertson bleats about defence cuts in the house of commons yet wants rid of Trident which would be the biggest defence cut in history.

Antiochas III Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Sad Fact is there are idiots in the UK that believe that. I do have a question, if our weapons are for deterrent of others using nukes then why is China the only nation of the 5 Permanent Security Members to sign the NFU pact?
