Elixir Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Well, this is rather awkward after what was said by the SNP about Johnson-Truss-Sunak, now that we will have had Sturgeon-Yousaf-Swinney. A monstrously bald failure from 20 years ago, ffs. Independence has never felt further away because of these total losers and those who continue to cheerlead them. Get the unwanted culture war nonsense straight in the bin. Realpolitik and economic growth are the only things that will win more people over to the cause. If they can't see this or aren't interested, then deserved electoral oblivion will await. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 2 hours ago, Granny Danger said: Delighted that the bigoted homophobe is not running; can just about stomach her getting a cabinet job. Douglas Ross (of the Conservative Party) calling it a “shady backroom deal” totally oblivious to what’s happened at U.K. level since the last GE. Ross is more and more resembling the malicious little dwarf in 'The Singing Ringing Tree' of Tales From Europe fame. One for the oldies there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I just wish they'd hurry up, Slater was sacked almost a week ago. Who is looking after the Circular Economy ? Is it even Circular anymore, it might be Triangular by now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon created the culture war policy, as you say Yussaf was her continuity candidate It will take time to unravel her years in office The entire independence movement is about long term what would be better for the people of Scotland Read Ireland, Denmark etc Edited May 2 by Binos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contrast in how Scotland and the rest of the UK voted on Brexit should have been the difference maker and instead of action it was just 'poor us, look at what they did and are making us go through'. Until a fresh, normal, and charismatic new leader can emerge with an ability to grow the economy - and dare I say it endorse and deliver on things that are actually popular across the political spectrum with the majority of the population - the SNP and independence cause will go no further. There are too many failings associated with the Sturgeon era that need cleared out, and frankly these things will require the passing of time and probably at least a term in opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govern well, continue to show the Scottish voters how much better they at governing, with one hand tied behind their back, than the two loser parties in WM, and the Independence movement will take care of itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrExile Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Can we still refer to this govt as progressive once Swinney is anointed? Why bother having a deputy that can't step up and be forced to drag yesterdays man out his bed. Could be further difficult times ahead if he's caught up in any of the branchform fall out. Either they know this already or it's a gamble to keep all of the other bodies safely buried Edited May 3 by AyrExile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
