Johnny Martin Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Sare Elba's conference actually looked busier than the SNP one. Quite funny watching Mad Taz slate her former parties, all 3 of them Still though, genital inspectors n' that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Wouldn't surprise me if Cherry does a Lisa Cameron and defects to the Tories in exchange for a House of Lords job for life. Regan's political career is going to end up with a job in a nail bar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, stupidity like that just splits the Pro-Indy vote allowing the Labour and Tory @rsecheeks to claim they are doing better. For a couple of elections the SNP, the Greens and the 4 folk in Alba should stand together on an independece ticket and tell Westminster to gtf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s what Alba are promoting as ‘Scotland United’. No chance it’ll happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) At least the one who defect med to the Tories did so in a fairly novel way. This was highly predictable. She did get 10% of the membership vote in the leadership election, maybe they will defect too. Alba give the impression of having more members than voters. My unpopular opinion is that mandatory by-elections when someone changes party are a bad idea. Edited October 28, 2023 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirez Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Says she has left to join a party that she feels is actually all about campaigning for independence. Fair enough. At least she has stuck to her principles. Unlike the Benedict Arnold type MP who crossed the floor and joined the fucking Tories! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all Ash Regan is a loon ball, the SNP were quite happy for her to get through the selection process. Independence at all costs is an insane policy, demonstrated by the fruit loops in Alba. Clearly it still holds some weight in the SNP ranks, otherwise Regan would never have been admitted. Alba are basically Tories for Independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I’m sure very few of us had heard of Ash Regan before her not-a-hope-in-hell run for the SNP leadership. I agree we should be using stricter criteria in the selection process. No bigoted homophobes would be a good starting point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No serious voter, politician or independence supporter will have anything to do with Alba. Hence Ash Regan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
