Yeah: who needs transparency in a democratic society. Remember the SNP calls for an election because the public never voted for either Truss or Sunak? Will they be making the same calls for Sturgeon's replacement? Black and white cases like this can't be argued with. It is pathetic, rank hypocrisy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prime Minister becomes PM simply by becoming the leader of the majority party.

Trogdor Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Banning the press to create a "safe space" for candidates is a bit of a minter regardless of how you spin it. There needs to be scrutiny, after all whoever wins is inevitably going to be First Minster of Scotland and only 100k of our 5m population will have been eligible to vote. There is a wee bit of irony in this as well. Had the SNP thought a bit more about safe spaces then NS might not be resigning.

When they turn out to be poor in a number of areas. We will stick with Westminster who are 10 times worse. Pathetic. We coould however vote the rubbish Scottish government out, but unfortunately can't vote the really rubbish Westminster government out. Deary me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTee Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Folk slagging off the First Minister candidates - tend to agree - I assume were comfortable with Liz Truss, Boris Johnson and Sunak as Prime Ministers. Each one a Charlatan Where's the £600k? Fair enough. Billions in dodgy PPE. Not a peep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I don't think there's really a need for every hustings to be a public event, it's for those daft enough to still be party members to decide anyway, but there should also be some form of TV 'debate' as well given that one of these hopeless idiots will be attempting to ruin the country until they lose the next election.

CarrbridgeSaintee Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Woke up early this morning, so thought I'd watch this. I must admit that I was impressed, and liked what she was saying Instead of just saying what she thinks the public wants to hear and hitting out with soundbites, she was realistic and went into proposed policy in detail. She comes across as authentic, honest, confident and articulate.. as well as being a genuinely nice person. Plenty confirmation bias at my end though I much prefer watching this type of interview than the nonsense on the telly, with their shouty, interrupty interviewers trying to trip the person up. When does a politician get the chance to explain something properly on Question Time? It's all about soundbites and appearing strong for the cameras and to get the claps from the audience.
