Dunning1874 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 If there's any lesson to learn from politics in recent years, it's that things are going to go badly for everyone involved in a vote decided by a 52/48 result. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate had also not put her foot in her mouth either at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 5 minutes ago, Iain said: My favourite branch are the loonies who think Yousaf will be obliged by his faith to introduce Sharia law as soon as possible. Combined with Sunak (Hindu background, I know), you can picture quite a few folk (particularly Down South) having a "see, they're taking over!" meltdown over their perceived erosion of so-called Britishness. #salty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the majority of SNP members who didn't vote for him, they're racist Tories too because they wanted Forbes or none of the above Going by gnat logic, the number of non racists once we exclude these lot, unionists, alba, Wingsy nuts can be counted on fingers and that's including pets A great result, just hammers home the divisions within the SNP in truth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 14 minutes ago, MazzyStar said: Glad the bigot never won, but at the same time Humza will likely continue the bs facade of the SNP being a left wing party whilst continuing the dreadful policies and rhetoric of Sturgeon. He at least mentions wealth taxes and windfall taxes here but that's all it is, mentioning them. No definite plan or commitment so we can expect nothing. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/humza-yousaf-back-wealth-tax-29553552 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know maybe it is. I'd have thought getting the chance to vote for the leader and FM would be one if the best things about being a member of the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 On 21/02/2023 at 08:49, Marlo Stanfield said: Wonder what silly nicknames the Unionists will come up with, much to live up/down to after wee Nippy and wee Jimmy Krankie. Shouty Kate has torched her campaign. Humza Youseless is right there I suppose and I'd be surprised if some variation of Bumza Poosef didn't appear. Ash Regan is more difficult. Perhaps Ronald if she moves to the right. Bumza Poosef is trademarked and as I am the sole owner of the this intellectual (lol) property compensation in the form of royalties is due. For anyone using this, please be aware that my lawyers are watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) No decent leader left to inspire you to vote for them and their party. ETA . Hopefully Yousaf bins Forbes. Edited March 27, 2023 by Highlandmagar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talked about creating a publicly owned energy company for years, until scrapping that altogether and also sold off Scotlands offshore wind capability to oil companies for a pittance.
