Lex Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It’s fairly obvious she lied, this report is just confirmation. Don’t think anyone is surprised.I hope she doesn’t resign and I don’t think she will. #SturgeonMustStay -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless James Hamilton finds she deliberately breached the code then she should stay. If she resigns the media will still slaughter her and SNP and they will be leaderless going into elections, now that would be a disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Misled = lied in parliamentary speak. It is a resignation matter and it isn't a good look for the SNP if she tries to stay in office. If she does as she should then we will see if Independence is bigger than the SNP. I fear it isn't. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It's only a resignation matter if she knowingly misled it.I think most agree she has probably inadvertently misled parliament because of the nature of what was going on and having to try and not prejudice a criminal trial.It'll take some soft voters away from the SNP but they'll still be comfortably the largest party and there will still be a comfortable pro Independence majority in Parliament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Of course it is, they can get a full long weekend of mileage out of this now until the report is actually published and is a partisan damp squib. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 See when anybody who doesn't actually want her to resign anyway starts saying she should then maybe it'll be worth taking notice of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Mitchell will probably accidentally admit it as part of a long, rambling, public rant aimed at a Holyrood water cooler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Someone explained elsewhere - can't remember where I saw it - that she may have broken the code of conduct to avoid breaking a more serious code of conduct. If that is the case then there is the possibility that Hamilton will accept that this was the only course and the code itself will need altered.Whatever happens I think two things are clear.Firstly, politicians are the worst people to investigate other politicians. I personally think that this sort of thing is better left to an independent inquiry to avoid the partisanship of the politicians.Secondly, there needs to be a better way to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against politicians - what that should be - I'm not sure - but leaving it to civil servants clearly has been a major issue here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
