Let's hope so.Looks like it’s all over for Useless now.
Severe lack of intelligence.Your government shored up by the crackpot Greens then you sack them, what did he expect? That the other parties would rally round and save his skin
Cant be any other option than an election to sort this mess out now surely ?
Take the wheel IanLet's hope so.
Humza is just the deluded fall guy.
The reality being the Sadistically Nepotistic Paedophiles are done as a Political party - they'll struggle to recover from the damage done in Scotland in conjunction with the Greens once the enormity of their failure sinks in with the Boaty's in the central belt.
Regardless of Wee Haggis Blackwood rocking up on Sunday Political TV Shows crawling like a leper begging forgiveness the SNP are done. even if he teams up with Wagged Wascal Flynn they'll be no more than a modern day Laurel & Hardy
All the wheels are offTake the wheel Ian
He jumped before the inevitable happened later in the week, I.e losing a confidence vote in parliament where his name would be forever linked to failure. Resignation leaves him with a slight degree of prideI have to say that while I have no common ground with Hamza Yousef's policies I see his decision to resign as a principled act which is rarely found in today's politics
Kate Forbes is who they should have had last time round.The wheels are well and truly off the snp wagon. It’s crashing to a grinding halt.
Kate Forbes would be an adequate successor but why would she take on a leadership of a minority government, and if, as there should be, an election the snp will be blown to smithereens. Not a terribly attractive proposition for a new leader
SwinneySo the main contenders would be?
The first rule of fight club is…..Many internal factions within the SNP?

Surely not, he shakes like a sh*tting dog when not under pressureSwinney
I loathe him, he is and has been awful in virtually every way; he has played the 'race card' at every opportunity throughout his political career, he has been nauseatingly incompetent.He jumped before the inevitable happened later in the week, I.e losing a confidence vote in parliament where his name would be forever linked to failure.

He’s the perfect example of failing upwards, it certainly couldn’t be argued that he progressed on merit!I loathe him, he is and has been awful in virtually every way; he has played the 'race card' at every opportunity throughout his political career, he has been nauseatingly incompetent.
I've family who support(ed) the SNP, more accurate to write that they support independence, who think that Sturgeon and Yousaf combined have effectively undone nearly all the work that Alex Salmond did - fine be me, but for nationalists that's enough to make them sick.
All that written, at a purely personal level, I feel sympathy for the fellow, regardless of politics it's a horrible thing to have one's career go down the pan, more so publicly. However, it is very hard to see how - from any perspective - he has not brought almost all of this on himself...
