Sturgeon Gone.

[Rich_ard]

I can't think why anyone would have wanted the job anyway. It was doomed before he took it on. I couldn't understand why Kate forbes ran either.

I 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

Did his principles start after his round of begging letters for support failed...?

 

[hoff135]

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...

I know snp voters who will not be voting for them again unless greens and some of the crazy trans ideology is binned permanently. Lot of people in Scotland are actually quite Conservative, even though they might not realise. The party has been hijacked by woke lunatics

Whoever it is I just hope that they don’t get back in bed with the greens!

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 ?

It will take decades to sort this mess out, these idiots have ruined the very fabric of Scottish society.
With trans crap.woke.no discipline in schools or in the home.no proper law and order.the generations of kids in future will be scrwed up in the head.

 

[Welderloon]

Yep

That along with all their other political failures should be projected on the front of every polling station in the land come election time as a reminder of how inept the SNP as a political party have become...................could turn it into a matinee

Dont have any sympathy for yousaf.
He and the greens couldn't care less about the Scottish people, they made their lives miserable with higher taxes and stupid unthought.out laws etc.

Especially Harvie.

Yep, that's my own family summed up, and many others I know too. They are, pretty much, all 'conservative'; most are unionist and so vote for the Conservative Party, others are pro-independence and, that aside, haven't really anything else in common with the SNP.

For those latter ones, if there ever is an independent Scotland they'll almost certainly be voting for whatever the equivalent of the Tories is in its parliament, and in no way for any party that is of the 'woke' or self-styled progressive variety.

Yeah agree. Wonder if the stupid wood burner ban will be dropped

Hollyrood heading the same way as Stormant was where a government can’t be formed ?

Won't make much difference to SNP voters - thick as sh!t and brainwashed ...

 

[Rich_ard]

Swinney

Sounds like he is getting strong armed to run. He said he'd had enough a while ago!

Big difference here is that both sides of the religious divide have to be represented or we can't legally have a government. Therefore if one side huffs for whatever reason and decides they're not going to play, they don't even have to run away with the ball, nobody else is allowed to play with the ball until they decide to come back.

I wonder who calls an election in Scotland?

Here it's the secretary of state, but they have a habit of waiting a while to see if the children can be coaxed to agree rather than have all the hassle of elections when essentially the same two sides will still have to deal with each other anyway after it anyway.

But it does look like an election in Scotland is what's needed to sort things out.

Doubt an election will fix it. Could still end up in a minority if a different party.

Indeed, but maybe some of the other parties would have a greater chance of getting the support they need to get over the line and form a government.

SNP seem to have fell out with everybody.

The ‘progressives’ can’t countenance the thought of Kate Forbes in charge.

The only folks the SNP could possibly work with now would be the Liberals, and I’m not sure they are too keen to from an alliance with anyone given how they were punished by the electorate for forming a government with the conservatives. So I can’t see any path to a majority coalition.
