Would this be normal behaviour in politics where members deserve a choice and chance to put their points across. With the Snp shouting loudly about freedom and democratic choice they obviously don't do as they say. I’m a member of the SNP and I’m happy with what’s happening. Are you an SNP member? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS_FFC Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Thankfully some sense has been talked into McCormick, but the party executive should really change the rules to ensure that only an MSP (or maybe an MP) can run for leader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon so yes, and based on local knowledge Mr McCormick can now return to the wilder shores of the party's outer limits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the membership figures are going, you may be finished quite quickly. Better use WhatsApp though so that a) the messages can be deleted and b) you avoid roaming charges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more nominations. McCormick got most of his by sitting at the Pensioners for Independence stall at AUOB on Saturday and asking for signatures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotiaNostra Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The main small group who decides things in the snp, having gone for Yousaf as there last pick and that worked out so well, if it goes down the Swinney this time whos going to trust that group for a 3rd pick? Maybe it will be time if that happens to consider a complete overhaul and a bit of reorganisation within the party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't do any major reset until the Murrell investigation is over, I think that's why only Swinney volunteered for the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotiaNostra Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Just now, welshbairn said: Can't do any major reset until the Murrell investigation is over, I think that's why only Swinney volunteered for the job. everything suggests he never volunteered. It was more lumbered on to him by others within that clique who run things as none of them want to risk their own reputation at the moment. Hes too nice to refuse and probably feels a sense of duty to take it based on all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The ‘SNP BAD’ crowd seem very upset that this has all been settled without fallout with the ranks. Poor wee shame. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 From what I've seen from people who feel betrayed by McCormick bottling it, their main complaint is they won't get the chance to shout "What is a woman?" at Swinney in the hustings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a member, so wouldn't have a vote 13 minutes ago, D Angelo Barksdale said: The membership cannot be trusted to choose the right leader. It's better left to Nicola. The membership put forward John Swinney, and noone else chose to stand. Nicolas didn't endorse anyone as far as I'm aware 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
