Now that she given them their wish, they're howling there isn't a decent successor. As far as i'm concerned Alba have played a considerable part in poisoning the well and indy isn't happening for a good few years now in a best case scenario. Forbes is nowhere near as smart an operator as i'd thought and might struggle against Sarwar at FMQs. Ross of course will still be roundly humiliated every time he speaks. Completely agree. I’d of chucked it in a long time ago if I was Sturgeon with some of the nonsense that she puts up with. However, what we’re seeing now is the fallout from having the party ran as a one women show. In fairness, when you see the quality of some of the current MSP group, it’s perhaps more understandable. I’d personally pretty much written off indy in the short term anyway, even under NS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 A carcrash leadership, some bloody noses at the ballot box and a couple of banter years should set the ship right by about 2030. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine a First Minister’s Question Time featuring Ross vs Regan? It’d be the nadir of a political era in which Donald Trump was at one time President. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrbridgeSaintee Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 As a Unionist I'll be delighted to see the back of Sturgeon. I just can't see any new SNP leader having anywhere near the same electoral appeal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't noticed the speech impediment but compared to his predecessors he's a lot more convincing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Forbes probably accepts that she will fracture the base. But I don't get where she thinks those votes are getting replaced from. She might be getting some light praise from anti-SNP pundits and some more 'eccentric' Unionists on Twitter at the moment, but they aren't going to vote for independence or even a Forbes-led SNP when it comes to the crunch. I also just don't think the voters who potentially are more amenable to independence and the SNP are waiting for them to elect a social conservative who is going to move the party to the right economically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
