Scottish Politics / Independence - Vol 12

To be fair, with Curriculum for Ineptitude, they seem to have managed to achieve a far higher level of broken through their reforms.

In any other party, the idea of one of their own local authorities issuing redundancy notices to teachers would be deeply shaming. Yousaf seems to be happy to just let it happen.

Exactly!
None of them can say how an "Independent" Scotland would work financially. They can't even run a devolved system when they get more money per head than England. Currency, Defence, Magic EU membership, Unicorns and Free chips and Irn Bru for everyone...

Salmond is just grandstanding. Everyone is getting on a General Election footing, including Humza which is why he shed the Greens - I explained why on Thursday, but his cack-handedness backfired.

Salmond now sees this as an opportunity to scoop up the indynut SNP voters who still think a referendum is the road to 'freedumb'.

Everyone (Salmon included) knows it is a busted flush, but there are still a lot of blue-face-painters harking back to memories of 2014. The SNP have ran out of road as far as that is concerned, but him and Alba can pretend there's still some mileage in it.

However way you turn it, the three-way-split in the indynut vote that everyone in here predicted months ago is now becoming a reality.

Can we get the title of this thread changed to "Scottish Politics"?

Indy is now finished.

Hold your horse's...there's election's first, then we can all go for it...I can't wait for the Labour thread to kick off.

Another polite “fk off useless” from the Lib Dem’s this time

The Election of Starmer has all the hallmarks of pathos being followed by tragedy for Scotland . I genuinely hope I have this wrong but I honestly feel this Bloke is a turnip . Ultimately you can promise and say anything when you aren't in power and this Bloke already fiscally poor is going nowhere . This is the flaw of Democracy the world over , that reflex action come Election Time when the People are seduced by the Snake Oil Salesmen . I have lived and earned money in the South East since I was 16 and I have never seen thing so bleak . The taxation burden both direct and indirect is beginning to make working for yourself no longer pay and incredibly that's under a Conservative Government .

It's actually hilarious.

Humza is so politically inept it beggars belief. His letters to the other parties was his metaphorically showing them his arse so they could give it a massive kicking, and they are absolutely taking the opportunity to do so.

I agree that in the wider context of the UK a Labour Government is simply replacing one form of st with another, but in the Scottish context having a unified national government presents the opportunity to undo all of the 'different for the sake of being different' complexity, waste and inefficiency the SNP have implemented while they attempted to present a false impression to the world that Scotland was in fact independent.

Unified tax laws and a dismantling of the exceptionally inefficient parallel benefits system will at a stroke improve the situation fiscally both for the people and the Government of Scotland.

Saw in the news rumour John swinney may be asked to be interim leader.

If it wasn't our real govt I'd find it funny

It's ok, they aren't a real govt!
