🤦‍♂️ don’t think so

What do you know, you can’t even get his name right.

Looking back at history the reason why they joined the Union was because they put themselves so hard into debt and needed a bail out, but I wouldn’t even trust Westminster to look after my right arm without seeing it on the black market the next day.

I agree. As someone desperate to get the sour faced Scotch out of the Union we need a useful Scotch person to lead the rest of the lemmings out..😅

Nice one old bean!

Given who he was up against in the leadership race it could have been worse... let that sink in. The SNP need to fall back and regroup, they're going to get enough votes to be the primary oposition after the election but they're in no state to lead.

Yes , that’s the scary thing

@BoreoffNow So did elements of the royal family 80+ years ago... got any valid points to make?

@BoreoffNow Godwin's law kid... You lost the argument the moment you mentioned an irrelevance from the better part of a century ago. "Royals didn’t plan to work with the Nazis" Never heard of Edward VIII then? If you're going to apply Godwin's law at least get it right. Like I said, any valid points to make?

Are they going to say that the only way we can avoid being accused of Islamophobia is to vote for any and all Islamic politicians?

Islamophobia is what gets one voted "in" south of the border

Apart from the chance to gain more seats from SNP........

Yeah I'd agree that Alba has the potential to gain seats if the usual SNP base feels SNP no longer represents them. Labour will most certainly want it as a sort of "pre-GE test" of labour support up here in 2024.

Perfectly put....I was going to say it's beyond Alex Salmond's wildest dreams but he must have known it was possible with the way the numbers added up and the incompetence of the people concerned.

@@scottmarriott1185aye but those drs& dentists are hopeless 3rd world drs that are utterly inept, you’re in for a shock of you go to a hospital

Independence has nothing to do with the SNP. It's about Scotland getting whatever government we choose 100% of the time. The SNP will cease to exist after independence is achieved, they are the means to independence not the end goal. Such a strange argument to use.

How is Scottish uselessness linked to Tony Blair and the perfectly justified invasion of Iraq?

​@@MontyCantsin5 Labour, bit of a forgone conclusion... The Lib Dems are irrelevant. The Greens are irrelevant. The Tories are going to go extinct. Alba are too few in number to matter. No matter what happens the SNP will still be the dominant voice in oposition post election.

Sorry and the Green Party

@@richardebsworth8845 Disappearing comments... The SNP are at most going to be reduced to the majority of the opposition. Scotland is a two horse race between Labour and the SNP, get used to it.

Tell me (c) hunt havr you visited the planet earth recently

“Atrociously evil” 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

This is about the SNP not Labour.

Every single policy any party has is 100% divisive. No population agrees on the same issue ever.

Yep. The only thing that referendum achieved was to split the country down the middle, and we're still living with the consequences. Now everything is seen through a constitutional lens, and the "parliament" we have is incapable of governing in the interest of the people. As a nation, we appear to have reverted to type. At heart, we seem to be a tribal, sectarian people who waste precious time and energy constantly feuding instead of working to make our lives better. Meanwhile, our NHS is on its knees, our once-proud education system is going down the toilet, and the drug death problem worsens daily. Seventeen years in office, and the party in power have achieved precisely nothing. Instead, they use the executive to draft laws that openly attack the people they are supposed to be working for (the "secterian singing" law; the "named persons" scheme; the latest "hate speech" legislation). The party in charge are dangerous authoritarian ideologues and need to be voted out as soon as possible.

@@snapsnappist4529 The UK has always been tribal and the majority of Scots do not want to be in the unfair ununited Kingdom. It's our choice and the English people do not get a say in the matter. Scotland is its peoples, not Englands.

@@-sly-Critique Okay, MacGlashan.🤣

​​@@snapsnappist4529 while i agree with most of this, drugs isnt a devolved issue, regardless of who is in power in the scottish parliment they can do nothing on it without westminster voting it through first. Scotland is powerless on this policy, as shown when the SNP did ask for consumption rooms which have been successful in portugal, the conservatives didnt even entertain it saying the current policy was the way to move forward.

We have a government, lets never hold another election...

How many NHS strikes have there been in Scotland? Surely ensuring that there weren't strikes is the opposite of wasting time?

@@PorthLlwyd how many drug deaths in Scotland? Highest in Europe? Scotland also declining in education standards according to PISA rankings

@@markgt894 drug deaths are a legacy of manufacturing decline and poverty. What's your solution? What powers are available in Holyrood to solve it? Remember COViD? PISA ratings from 2022 highly skew the ratings. Wales also had poor ratings. Again this comes down to poverty.

SNP are blinded by independence but let’s be totally honest here the polar opposite of anything from Westminster has to be an improvement.

The SNP were voted in because of their policies, not independence. Many people voted them and didn’t support independence. They’ve changed though, as parties do, and become a shitshow, focusing on policies influenced by culture wars, rather than important social policies; free tuition fees, free prescriptions etc. (which most people in Scotland are grateful for)

Made using white bread 😂

Salmond? Looks more like an egg to me. Yousaf? Looks like a frying pan made of butter: useless.

The two aren’t linked. North Korea is an independent country and clearly there isn’t freedom of speech. Your comment isn’t logical.

@@col.hertford9855 OK... What I'm trying to say is what is more important, being free of the United Kingdom or being free to speak your mind ?

@AaRr-bn3xx: Gaining Scottish independence. Your second point is a daft comparison.

@@AaRr-bn3xx I’m saying they are completely separate questions and not at all linked.

@@MontyCantsin5 they seem to conflate sovereignty and freedom of speech. One does not guarantee the other. What a weird take 😂

If it actually applied to anything at all, there would be no need for the phrase.

​@@simonkapadia7582 Except the phrase exist precisely because it does happen... he's divided his own base.

How many NHS strikes have there been in Scotland? Is that an example of delivering on the issues that matter?

Are you OK with westminster not delivering

Then send in the other clowns .

Nah.

Hate to break it to you, but they're not going anywhere. Theres to much support for independence for them to fall much below largest force in the oposition. Even if (when) Labour win the SNP will still overshadow every other party by a wide margin. Give Labour a few years to p!ss people off and the SNP will have regrouped.

We don’t elect a pm we elect mps from parties and the winning parties leader becomes the prime minister. That’s how our political system works, maybe vote for a political party that advocates reform to the political system? If a political party was in power that you supported you probably wouldn’t have the same issue you have with unelected prime ministers. I agree that Rishi needs to go tho

It's just your ignorance of the constitution. A) No PM in modern times is unelected, they are constituency MPs elected by voters. B) Leaders of parties are precisely that, they are subject to a leadership process determined by their party. C) The Prime minister is the person who holds the confidence of Parliament, meaning they are able to maintain majority support either through their party, or through an arrangement, whether that is for minimal support (as with the DUP in May's time) or through coalition (2010-2015). And we *can* have a vote of no confidence in the Westminster Parliament. But the current PM has a majority, so it's not going to happen unless it is via a confidence motion within his party, which can happen, but would likely result in a new leader of the same Parliamentary majority, which you would then erroneously claim was unelected. Get a basic education in how your own country works before opining on it. I realise there is little to no education in our education system, but make a basic effort for your own betterment.

Could t agree more… put the P in Rick … ever since the speech about whites in Scotland… Polarised me from day dot… Humza GTF
