Its good they aren’t picking controversial candidates to help them appeal to more moderate voters. Wonder where Kat Boyd will be on their list preference list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't end well if the Alba Party has members who are also members of other parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe GC for Alba means ‘get consent’ which Tommy at least did. Hanvey won’t be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 If it was about getting a super majority why form a new party instead of joining up with one of the other newly formed parties? Ego trip central 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego trip central It’s fùck all to do with a “super majority”. It’s a personal agenda that is not driven by political objectives. I question the personal morality of anyone who has a knowledge of politics and votes for a party started by Salmond. I imagine the majority of votes his party gets will come from the uninformed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye there's probably a personal element but for an awful lot of folk the snp govt are far too cautious and, dare i say it, too conservative (on all sorts of issues). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Sannox Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Tommy Sheridan!!! This is just getting better all the time. With the Unionists in Scotland being horrifically inept, the Yessers with an open goal, decide to start capitulating with all this Alba lunacy. The hapless Bojo was handing Indy on a plate only for it to be handed right back due to an SNP turf war! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 It strikes me that if Salmond, McAskill etc were looking to really shaft the SNP and more importantly the cause of independence, they would be standing folk in the constituency. They are not. There was an olive branch vibe about the launch. It's up to the SNP leadership to respond in turn. They need to show a bit of class, stop the personal attacks and snidey comments.....and put independence first..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the word I’ve been trying to articulate into something that itself didn’t itself seem snidey. But the whole SNP reaction to Alba has been nothing but...erm,,snidey.

As I've said previously, indyref2 is over for a while, this will be the last Indy led parliament for a long while. I'm hoping I'm wrong but pretty confident I'm not.

Oh i agree with you, i dont think the snp can deliver indy and I dont think they deliver competent government either. Political parties are too obsessed with things the electorate doesnt care about to the point they destroy themselves internally and cant get things done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirez Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 "both votes SNP" Aye, done that the last time. Got f**k all representation on list apart from Tories. I'll be giving Alba my second vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only thing that could squeeze out a s30 is having 80+ msps, to deliver that the SNP would need to give up their list seats to someone, they'd rather have 60 of their own with no other Indy seats than 59 of their own and 25 other Indy seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
