A reset of the Holyrood seating plan is IMHO the only thing that is going to avoid us going round the houses and ending up at essentially the same outcome as the last leadership contest.Edited by Evercross on Monday 29th April 13:05

I disagree. Peewee and Big Bird are out of their Ministerial Salaries with no chance of re-instatement. Before this kicked off PeeWee was showing a bit of leg to Labour.If anything the

The scrapping of the (joke) emissions targets was the starting gun, and then Humza just ran the race exactly how others anticipated.

I was part of a Labour/Tory coalition for five years at council level, and we drew up an agreement at the start of the term that incorporated some of our policies (and most of theirs!); our group had three councillors and Labour had nine and the agreement reflected that. I always thought that we could have achieved much more if we had stayed out of a formal agreement and taken each policy/budget on its own merit.

Well that's him gone - off for a couple of weeks holiday in a motorhome perhaps?
Who's next, the bloke who ran Fergusons Yard until he got sacked last week?
A bit like Westminster, I really can't say I'd vote any of them in, either to the SNP or in fact to the Scottish parliament. Don't rate any of the current parties, all their leaders are weak. (Could say the same about Westminster).
Why not scrap the Scottish Parliament and repurpose the building for the homeless, select a special wing to use for drug abuse rehab, Scotland having one of the highest drug related problems in Europe. Save us a hell of a lot of MSP wages.
