Yes. Here I am. Telling you no one even knows who she is.

When were you appointed to speak for all of us.

Anyone politically engaged will know who Johanna Cherry is. You know, the target market for the book.

It will also be covered by the media.

You are clearly pro independence so from that perspective, I'd want to know why Nicola, who was doing well at the time and to give her her due is good in an argument, hitched herself to this particular car crash. When someone who speaks as well as Nicola Sturgeon can't make a decent argument and makes themselves look so silly it ends their leadership, you do want to know what happened.

And yes I'll be voting and yes I do care.

It's thought that at least 20% of voters, vote tactically at any election. So, quite common then?

I'm disappointed that I'll not be able to vote for Neale Hanvey. However, there's a pro-Indy alternative for Mid-Scotland and Fife.

Who is it?

Planesmistakenforstars · 09/03/2026 17:47

Thanks for starting the thread OP. I've pre ordered it, and mentioned it to my MIL who has (unexpectedly tbh) pre-ordered it as well.

This thread is so funny. One lonely activist doggedly repeating "No one cares. No one cares. Saddos! No one cares."

Anyway I've just pre-ordered, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Yeah, it's pretty boring.

The thread is showing up in Trending thanks to no one caring.

That's why I can't vote for Neale Hanvey. So far as I'm aware, there are still a couple of pro-Indy candidates standing, however. I hope so - one in particular is very good: Eva Comrie. She was in Alba, but left.

Oh, ok, I see.

Against? Do you know what elections are for? You vote FOR a party or in our case for a representative, then a party. You have no option to vote against something.

You are coming across as v superior, typical SNP zombie.
Non so blind as those who will not see.
Shame on you for voting SNP!!

WearyAuldWumman · 09/03/2026 17:44

Igneococcus · 09/03/2026 17:40

Is that Alba? Because they are winding up the party according to the Times.

She’s such an attention seeker.

Imagine how much time you must spend patrolling this board in order to get in first with these comments. It must be so tedious especially when you're at such odds with the general sentiment here.

It’s a slur about people who are less fortunate. I’m actually ashamed that I used it as I call other people out for it. So I apologise.

I also know what it means.

Haven't you ever heard of tactical voting?

The SNP won the recent Fife Council by-election, but the turnout was only 22% - so they've lost a great deal of support.

And their party donations and memberships have dropped significantly.

EvangelineTheNightStar · 09/03/2026 17:41

Differentforgirls · 09/03/2026 16:39

Well this is a prime example. No one cares. She appears to be a very sad lady who is always seeking Nicola’s attention while Nicola doesn’t give her a passing thought.

Say it isn’t so @realfeminist?! 😩😩😩

I hope that some people care, but I do think that a certain percentage of SNP supporters are in an Indy cult. They don't care about the trans stuff (even if they don't believe that transwomen are women). They don't care about Peter Murrell (allegedly but there's loads of evidence) having stolen almost £600,000 of SNP funds, plus if he did then of course his long term wife who was also at the top of the SNP and whom he shared a house with knew nothing about it (can't have noticed the campervan or extremely expensive luxury cars during all those years). And even if Sturgeon did know all about it, they don't care. Because they believe that the SNP will (eventually) give them INDY and then life will become a paradise of true Scottishness in a country in which the streets are paved with gold. It's like Brexit on overdrive.

Not in a million years 😂

Joanna has zero need for attention from the treacherous, dishonest abject failure that is Nicola Sturgeon.

And, yes, I do know her before you ask.

Yeah, I do know what it means. I'm just surprised that anyone would use it in the context of this discussion, or in fact any discussion on mumsnet. It seems against the spirit of common courtesy.

I am appalled that one of the SNP MSPs continues to spout the party line, in spite of the fact that one of the Dolatowski assaults took place in her constituency.

Then there's the fact that that my MSP ignored the fact that dangerous criminal, formerly a resident in her constituency, was using gender ideology in an attempt to access the women's prison estate.

Women ignoring the erosion of women's rights.

As I said, no one cares. Ask any ordinary Scot in the street about Joanna Cherry and the reply will be “who?”

Really, are you calling us ignorant then?

I’ve never did it. Honestly. I just vote who I’d like as a government.

Ah. As I thought. You're very young.
