SNP lay their stall out - vote for them next May, they will start negotiating to separate.

Because they have learned nothing from Brexit. I mean, it's sort of their raison d'etre, banging on about independence and it does resonate with some of their fans who believe that should Scotland separate, we'd all be loads richer. They do appear somewhat confused though - a majority in parliament is a mandate, the biggest number of MSPs is a mandate, a vote for "pro-indy" parties is a mandate.... Anyone would think they were either making it up as they go along, or hedging their bets.

Are we supposed to forget all about the incompetence, the failing NHS and education, the scandals and all the other fuck ups?

So if you don't want to separate, don't vote SNP or Green in May.

The above is why the UK is not fit for purpose.

SNP/SNP for me.

What woman in their right mind would vote for the SNP or the Greens?
Having spent many, many hours over the years sitting in Holyrood watching committee meetings and debates regarding the GRC bill and “ assisting dying bill I am completely and utterly sickened and disgusting by 99% of all MSPs.

Lib Dem’s are just as disgusting. Christine Jardine has some truly abhorrent views. Who the hell thinks these things? How do you get to much a sick frame of mind where you’d flush women’s rights down the loo to protect predatory men?

The Greens are always incapable of coherent thought, but the Lib Dem’s were always a good bet for a floating voter. Now never again.

There will never be a Conservative, LibDem, Green, Alba or Reform First Minister in Holyrood. Never.

Choice is SNP or Labour & the latter are trailing badly.

I'll be voting SNP/SNP despite their hideous mistakes because I believe that the UK is too centric to London, Westminster too jealous of power that was never agreed to.

And that’s a problem - two populist left-ish parties with not a lot between them except Indy…not great for any policy diversity, not great for scrutiny of legislation or getting u-turns on bad policies.

I voted yes in 2014. Wouldn't even consider it now.

Putting aside how shite the SNP have been at governing generally, the quality of current MSP's across all parties (with only a few exceptions) is piss poor. Party whips, shite policies, being influenced by lobbying groups, connections with characters dubious to say the least, financial irregularities...the list goes on and on.

I used to be proud of our Government and Parliament. Not now. I'm just waiting to see what the next scandal is.

Aye, a wee bit like the Tories & Reform too. Right wing nutters.

Then Labour are just a "His Master's Voice" party: anything that London Labour wants is usually adhered to in the end.

At least the Tories know what a woman is and have consistently and solidly defended women’s rights. Think what you like with the rest of their policies but this alone makes them look so much more sane than SNP, LibDems and Greens.

Why oh why do the SNP continue to defile themselves with this nonsense? What on earth is going on there?

How anyone could vote for a party that think it’s a good use of taxpayers money to fight for the right of male rapists to be incarcerated with vulnerable females is beyond me. They are the party of cruelty to women.

@Homephonea Quite agree re women's rights.

However. It is a sick joke to think the the Conservative party are a fair minded party. They have never been.

Women's Right to Vote?
Non-landed gentry Right to Vote?
Home Rule Ireland?
Home Rule Scitland?
Devolution?
Good Friday Agreement?

The single most successful political party in the world, ever. Not because they are supurb. Because they are utterly ruthless.

Agree re women.

But vote for a party whose PM partied on down whilst incarcerating the rest of us, who wanted our bodies piled high in the streets...nah.

The Conservative stall is always thus:

Quote: "There is no measure of military force that the Tory Party will readily employ; they denounce all violence except their own; they uphold all Law except the Law they choose to break; they always welcome the application of force to others but they themselves are to remain immune. They are to select from the Statute Book the Laws they will obey & the Laws they will resist". Unquote.

Who in their right mind - assuming a sound moral compass would vote Tory?
