Wee-Bey Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 It's obviously not a witch hunt, although it would certainly be heading that way if she was forced by the party to pull out of the race or deselected as an MSP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is with what she thinks, if she didn’t think it she wouldn’t have had to say it. Humza thinks it too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Waldo Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I am being asked to believe that Kate Forbes colleagues who withdrew their support didn't know her beliefs until a couple of days ago? Did the people who allowed her stand for parliament to represent them not know her views? Did the people who promoted her not know her views? What a mess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSPs withdrawing their support from someone who thinks gay people shouldn't be treated fairly is completely acceptable. If you think that's a witch hunt then that rather speaks volumes about your character tbh. You don’t realise how deep ‘two cheeks’ actually runs until you’ve witnessed Sevconians rush to stick themselves on the same cross as Angela Haggerty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get no argument from me about the attitudes of some of the more unwelcome adherents of Rangers. Other clubs have their own eejits, but unfortunately ours appear to be proudly vocal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I thought someone else might put themselves forward before Friday but it would look now like a direct attack on Humza which would probably take too much bottle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 1 minute ago, craigkillie said: Why would that lead to an election? Well, it would lead to one if it means they (the Greens) will not supply the votes to pass the elected person as FM. My understanding is that Harvie has said they will jettison the current agreement between the two over ministerial posts if anyone other than Yousaf is elected. Whether they will then also refuse to provide votes to make the new SNP leader FM might be another matter but why would it be "ok" to vote for them to be FM but "not ok" to hold ministerial posts in their administration? In that scenario, there's no FM. If it turns out it is "ok" to vote for them to be FM, even though it's not "ok" to hold ministerial briefs in their Govt, then perhaps the SNP could govern as a minority but would they be able to actually do anything (given that rancour is at an all-time high, so it likely wouldn't work out like in the 2007-2011 period where they did this)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
