"most nationalists in the parliament back the legislation and want it passed quickly"
This is quite a shocking admission when you consider the glaring holes in what they are doing, along with the fact the work that should have been done to properly consider the justified concerns raised just hasn't been done. MSPs who support this are effectively saying they have no intention of scrutinising the bill, as is their responsibility, and instead want to force it through without the proper scrutiny.
I've said it elsewhere but the number of careerist invertebrates who occupy seats in the Scottish Parliament is seriously depressing. It's their actual jobs to scrutinise legislation, to hear all views & concerns & to question the many issues & unintended consequences of this bill.
Their cowardice over this is staggering. Joan McAlpine had ovaries of steel, & paid the price for her vocal challenges to this. It's notable that since we lost Johann Lamont, Elaine Smith, Andy Wightman, Jenny Marra & Joan McAlpine, there's been no one vocal speaking about this subject. That's a pretty chilling state of affairs. Kate Forbes is the only one who has spoken on this that I'm aware of. But not to the extent it's had any impact.
10 rebel SNP MSPs isn't enough on numbers. And there's too many MSPs in general who have failed their constituents in declaring their desire just to get it passed, without any intention of scrutinising what this bill will do.
