SNP - Out For Indy - Mass resignations

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

WTF is going on? Three have left today, two I have heard of. Emma Cuthbertson former women's office and TW, and Jordan somebody who is the one who leaked private messages between MSPs discussing GRA stuff.

I'm glad they're gone, as they are horrible individuals, but I'm a bit confused by what they think they are going to achieve by this?

You have certainly proved a point- not the point you think of course.

zsazsajuju oh and bore off with the causal, patronising ageism.

Oh dear. I'd hoped I'd find something out about changes within the SNP from the thread. There are some very positive GC voices within the party so I was mostly checking it wasn't them who he resigned! Is the feminism section how a place for any old political argument? Do we talk about Brexit etc here? I thought we would look at politics here from the lens of how it affects women which is certainly not what's happening here.

Thanks for the replies, nauticant and DidoLamenting.

I'll refrain from further discussion so the thread can get back on topic.

Here's the SNP's Code of Conduct for members - it starts on page 106 of this PDF:

I can't find anything that looks like a gagging clause.

There's a bit of a rumour going around that the recent speight of resignations (not OFI but long term, respected SNP MSPs) is down to "discomfort" over how the party is run internally and the championing of obviously incompetent and unsuitable post holders.

I can't get whether much of this is down to GC issues (I get a no comment shrug when I ask that). If it is the case, it's a concern that some feisty people who are onside are just giving up.

Having said that, can't blame them. It sounds like a bear pit.

For clarity - I belong to a different party - ever more tenuously by the day. I do believe the SNP have excelled in some areas; the Scottish NHS being one of them.

No, I think the gagging clause seems to have been an urban myth.

Would you count Education another one? They have been equally successful at that.

I honestly don't know enough to comment.
