To wonder why people keep voting SNP?

[Carla786]

I don't know a lot about Scottish politics and I may be missing important things they've done. However, I used to have a lot of respect for Nicola Sturgeon but her handling of gender critical issues has destroyed that. The SNP do not seem very effective at reducing drugs, poverty, or other serious issues.
My understanding was that quite a few people vote SNP not because they want independence (which most Scots appear to not want) but because they think the SNP are more committed to Scotland sorcifically than Tories and Labour. How accurate is this though..?

Since most Scots appear to not want independence, I thought the SNP was probably high achieving in other areas & Tories & Labour seen as poor by comparison. Or is it more often seen as the best of 3 bad options? Or is SNP much more positive than the impression I've got?

They are in court defending the concept that men have the right to be in female prisons.

Yes they most certainly are, get your facts straight: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8rm3kgp50xo

Yes they ARE! Keep up.

It IS causing harm to women having males in female prisons. It’s against international human rights laws for good reason. There are still at least three violent men in female prisons in Scotland right now. Isla Bryson is not the only transwoman in question.

Could be just him.

I know they are but, as I posted, if you get the results, you’ll get a place.

A subscription to what? I googled.

Not any ones I know.

So who are you voting for?

No they’re not.

Yes and it didn’t say that. Which part of Scotland do you live in?

What have the prisoners said?

Oh do go away with your patronising misogynistic bs. And it is irrelevant how long he was in for.

Yes, they ARE! Stop lying!

It most certainly does say that. If you cannot understand what it says, then why do you think it is saying then?

Here’s one article. The others are behind a paywall. You’re a fan of google, you could’ve done it yourself.

I live in the West of Scotland and I think less people where I live will vote SNP, and fewer people are in favour of independence than used to be. But we have an SNP MSP and they will get in again next election I have no doubt. I believe we will have more people voting SNP and the reason is we have a very high percentage of people on benefits in Scotland and our benefits are more generous than in England and the people who are in receipt of these benefits will vote for the party that gives them the benefits and allows them to live very comfortably without having to even pretend to look for a job. There are more of these people than there are people working and paying tax, and for those of you in England who think you have it hard, we pay higher taxes here than you do to pay for all the people of benefits.

48 hours in isolation 👍

Do you live rurally? Who are you voting for in May?

Irrelevant. He should have been 48 hours in isolation in the MALE prison.

I thought she’d been in herself or actually knew some of the inmates.

Jesus 🤣

Tory? Reform?

So you didn’t read the article. Your responses are getting quite embarrassing.
