@RoundWeGoAgain2 we effectively have an extra layer of dreadful politicians adding to the problems, double whammy.

And unlike Westminster there is no check on rubbish legislation as there's no second chamber.

The only MSP worth her pay cheque is Dame Jackie Baillie and possibly Douglas Ross. He's a "Tory" so of course saying you hate him and hate Tories , as per Sturgeon, is fine and dandy and not a hate crime at all.

Not Scottish but fuck me they’ve turned out to be a dodgy bunch haven’t they. It’s kind of disheartening, I want to have faith in socialism and left leaning parties but they seem to be so slippery and inept that I have nowhere to turn any more.

You have to be joking. They never claimed to be. Stop smearing the left for political gain.

Never claimed to be what? competent? You would be right there definitely not competent!
Or not claimed to not be dodgy?! They definitely made that claim a number of times whenever there was scandal with a different party! Think we can agree between sexual harassment cases, getting busted for breaching covid laws or sent to prison for the embezzlement (ex MP McGarry) they certainly are not squeaky clean!

The thing about Ruth Davidson is that you could completely disagree with every word which came out of her mouth, yet still recognise that she was smart, clever and very very good at thinking on her feet and challenging Sturgeon/Salmond. Sturgeon is a similarly polished politician and after Davidson left, the others just couldn't challenge her, she just rang rings round them. I think they were all also a wee bit scared of her.

I don't think Ruth D is scared of anyone or anything.

She's a very interesting person

Ruth Davidson is the only politician who has ever made me even slightly closer to voting Tory (not close enough to do it, though).

I am now waiting for the to charge NS too. As I see it, there are only two options - either she knew what was going on, in which case she is equally culpable, or she knew nothing, in which case she shouldn’t have had charge of a coffee stand, let alone the whole of Scotland.

She was a really decent woman.

Seriously? You're saying the SNP isn't claiming to be a left wing party?

It's not even centre left. It's far further to the left than Labour under Blair.

Enormously well said ! 👏
