You might even call them Prigs -

prig - a self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if they are superior to others:
"too much overt goodness can be the sign of a prig"
"some of his contemporaries thought him a prig and hypocrite"

It's time we brought this word back into common usage, they are a million occasions every day when it could be used.

I'd replace the 'g' with 'ck'.

Despite being a Conservative voter, I'm tired of the party, but it's still good to see Ross be genuinely motivated and angry about this.
And all that matters in the parliament as he speaks is that hurty words aren't used, no raising of voices, no protocol tripped upon.
The left establishment are pushing on, actively visible in Scotland where the hill the SNP/Scottish Greens/Scottish Labour are happy to die on is for all to see, in London more obfuscating with Phillipson taking the opposite tactic, avoiding, gaslighting and delaying.
Further evidence if any needed that whether it's a cult or caste, or simply a self generating echo chamber fuelled by the energy of endless virtue signalling, the left are both insufferably pious, and totally high on their own supply.

He's been relentless on this. Good for him.

'Lorna Slater, Kate Nevens and Q Manivannan are our top three candidates to be MSPs in Edinburgh and Lothian East region. Our other candidates are: Kayleigh Kinross-O’Neill, Chas Booth, Adam Al-Khateb, Jo Phillips, Mridul Wadhwa, Dan Heap, Astri Kvassnes, Alex Staniforth and Mariusz Cebulski.'

Christ. With these women hating arseholes, you are really spoiling us, ambassador.

There are dates on that page for the Scottish Greens to doorstep - if you're in a relevant area you can decide whether to be washing your hair that day, or wait in to confront them and tell them exactly what you think of them.

I'd assumed that it was too early for candidate lists for the upcoming election, but this thread prompted me to google and I have found that there are currently 18 candidates for my local seat, across 2 independents and 2 parties, so they are obviously not all there yet. I do have a preferred candidate anyway.

I'm really going to have to check how tactical voting works as I seem to remember that, counterintuitively, if you really don't want a candidate/party it's better to number them last rather than not at all.

In the Green party list there are Mridul Wadhwa, Lorna Slater and the delightful "let's defund women's groups who won't let trans women in" Alex Staniforth. Great. What a horrendous shower of misogynists.

Wadhwa's standing?!

BrokenSunflowers · 21/01/2026 18:19

Lorna Slater in second place on the list? 😂

SwirlyGates · 21/01/2026 18:08

Oh, and I know this thread is about the SNP, but the Scottish Greens are not wanting to be left behind in the scramble to be the best trans allies.

There's been a massive cover up that included the hospital trust paying private detectives to stalk the families of the victims socal media to find out what they were saying about the hospital

Sounds like another TV docu/drama in the making right there.

Isn't there something about dirty water in a Glasgow hospital that's killed two children? An issue that was known about possibly when Sturgeon was in charge of health, certainly when she was First Minister.

The queen Elizabeth mega hospital that had pigeons pooping in the water supplied to the cancer ward a killed 3+ patients directly and is a secondary cause for unknown others.

Think I'm going to have to have an email question for the candidates. Never see any MSP ones on the doorstep, round here it is SNP and Lib Dem. SNP definitely not on & LD not much better.
As you say, its the list vote too that needs thought, makes my head hurt!

I've always been grateful to the brave suffragettes who fought and died for our vote, and have always used my vote for almost 50 years. This is the first time I have struggled to find a candidate I can vote for.

Edited

Yep haven't seen anyone campaigning so have had to do emails my labour, lib dem, green and snp candidates are all gender woo. The local 1st past the post tory has come out as gc but im waiting to decide until I've heard back from all tge independents
I just wish they would all put out a statement on whether they think biological women deserve human rights or not

Then there was the Scottish census with its ideological questions that had to be done year later to be different to England, and didn’t even make the 90% return mark (England achieved 97%) so the data is too unreliable to be meaningful.

RhannionKPSS · 21/01/2026 17:30

How could we forget that wee nugget about the fire doors…showed up exactly how thick Sturgeon etc are.
She loved standing there every day, telling us what a good job she was doing , every day a political party opportunity for the stupid SNP. It’s was all just smoke and mirrors

COVID certainly was good for some politicians.
Remind me, what was the COVID death rate in Scotland with Nicola "follow the science" Sturgeon?

Whatever it was it was Westminster’s fault. But if people had listened a cut and inch of the bottom of classroom doors….

The broadcasted daily party political speeches she made for a year during Covid, stopping only weeks before the last election helped.

I really wish that all the MSP's across party lines who have proven themselves principled, willing to reach out and support others in different parties and willing to challenge things would create a sort of amalgamated party with the best of all their policies.

It'll never happen but it would be glorious (and would mean I wasn't politically homeless)

Just as English voters will tactically vote to keep Reform out, I'd do the same to keep SNP/Scottish Greens out.
I've never seen politicians rewarded more for abject ongoing failure than this shower.
If Farage was PM at the time of the Brexit vote, and he helped lose it to Remain, him and his party would have been turfed ignominiously from office.
Sturgeon loses in 2014, yet she went from strength to strength (until the silly Moo put men in women's prisons)

You’re forgetting ferries, airport, overseas ‘embassies’, the bribe to get Yousef’s in laws out of Gaza, millions given to LBGT+ Youth Scotland to push gender ideology in schools despite having been headed up by a major paedophile and done pretty much nothing to look at their processes after that, plus of course all the other third sector ‘charities’ they pay to lobby their own ideas back to them.

Council heads might be paid too much but in general the SNP have made huge cuts to council budgets (which pays for education and social care) and planned significantly more such cuts in their last budget.

Wings Of Scotland keeps you abreast of the vipers nest that is nationalist politics in Scotland. I'd bite my hand off before I'd vote for the SNP or Scottish Greens.
