no bullying intended @Differentforgirls and I'm sorry you're sad but I'm genuinely curious about your connection to the governing party...?

I’m not sad. I’m really happy. It’s you and your sidekicks who are sad.

You seem very protective of the SNP @Differentforgirls - are you involved with them professionally?

Dani is a friend of mine. Have no idea what that has to do with you being so unhappy, tbh.

I also like the way you talk to yourself on here and get replies

Fingers crossed 🤞. At least we vote for who we want rather than who we don’t want. Can’t get my head round that mentality. Imagine not actually wanting a single party’s policies. Strange way to live!

No it’s not

The constant wittering about independence whilst the country is in a state of such decline causes this

It’s as if they can’t get the fact that the rUK is worse!

Everything written in the Herald is critical of the SNP and anti-independence. Almost everything in the National is pro SNP and independence.

This is because the company that owns them both wanted the advertising revenue from companies supporting AND opposing the Union.

So anything written in the Herald will be spun to appeal to a Unionist vote, so that you support their advertisers. Aren't you a bit suspicious that someone who normally supports the SNP did a hatchet job on them? Journalists have no choice but to take work where they get it.

Even someone who is normally supportive of the SNP, journalist Dani Garavelli, has written an article in this weekend's Herald decrying their legacy:
"On the SNP's watch, Scotland has stagnated. Educational standards have fallen, the cost of living has risen, and young people are struggling to secure jobs and housing".

I despise all of them but the SNP and weirdo Greens have ruined my country so I’ll always vote against them rather than for anyone

Vote tactically to stop the SNP.

If stopping the SNP is your priority, vote tactically in this election.
