When I saw Regan talking on the telly yesterday, Truss is the first person that came to mind. An absolutely woeful performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched about 2 seconds, when she was explaining there should be a referendum to decide if we had a referendum but the first one wouldn't be seen as a referendum, which it would 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, any SNP First Minister’s flagship goal is to be the FM that delivers independence and some will be better able to sell the people of Scotland on the concept than others. At the moment they’re 0-for-2. Salmond won a majority which was enough to convince the then PM to grant a section 30, but fell 5% short in the referendum. Sturgeon failed to even get a referendum. I can’t see any of these three being able to deliver it tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Forbes softening everybody up by ditching the deposit scheme, scrapping the advertising ban and reintroducing bevvy on the train before she shuts all the pubs on Sundays would be excellent patter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leadership election is Alternative vote. Humza may well win the first round but with no outright majority.... at which point the 3rd placed candidate is eliminated (most probably Regan)and their 2nd preference votes transfer. I strongly suspect most Regan supporters 2nd vote going to Forbes. Humza ain't going to be first minister. I hope Kate Forbes continues to grow in your estimation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
