I'd have more respect for him if he didn't also fire himself into the top position of the Labour candidates on the top-up list. The rules on this need changed, you should only be able to stand in one category.

Don't agree to be honest. Surely fair to have your top politician in with the best chance of getting a seat compared to other members of your own party.

Willie Rennie tried to get me a grant from Fife Council. Good cunt. Didn't even get a response from most of the people I emailed.

 

 

Has Willie Rennie and Tam from Still Game ever been seen in the same room?

Which English party would that be?

When you say English you mean UK.

1 or t'other maybe the option, either stand for a constituency or on the list?

I see Wightman is running an an Independent in Highland and Island but was a list MSP for Lothians. Smells of carpet bagging, but I think he realises his message, his core message, on land reform and justice will play well in the H&I.

Not sure too many folk in Edinburgh and the surroundings would care too much.

I eagerly look forward to a sterling and wholehearted defence of these fine upstanding people, taking advantage of the biggest crisis to hit the nation in generations...

But but Tories...right.

Why you always on about the SNP did you not complain that i always targeted Tories

well right back at you as you always target SNP which is strange for a Lib Dem supporter

But as i know it annoys you here you go and thanks for making me look for that as now all users can have a read and compare.

BTW yours looks like a bit of a non story anyway.

List MSPs should be paid less. And have poorer quality desks and chairs. Or no chairs & have to stand. 

equivalent of a fair play award or media studies degree.

Perhaps instead they should be limited to 1 or 2 terms only as a list MP.

Its not right that people - who have never been popularly elected - can become long standing and relatively prominent / influential members of the Parliament  (Patrick Harvie).

The skewed nature of Scottish politics is strongly highlighting the flaws in the election system adopted.

Also the list system should be national, not regional.

The IFS has found that the SNP is using covid money to fund buying votes (hence why we are lagging in terms of lifting restrictions):

Labour to launch 'Clean Up Holyrood' Commission following SNP sleaze and Alex Salmond affair

Anas Sarwar said "we have, I'm afraid, at times allowed the parliament to descend and the government to descend into a bit of a joke."    

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/04/02/labour-launch-clean-holyrood-commission-following-snp-sleaze/

This is impressive from Sarwar, he is already showing himself to be out-thinking and out-innovating "murray ross", who would blame a bad result in the 3.15 at chepstow on the threat of another referendum.

Sarwar is pitching to unionists who are above the intellectual level of huns and showing an awareness of what voters are thinking.

I think old peak wetfart (is that right) has missed a key part here in his analysis... 

Where were they before alba. 

Let's think which party and movement these people were a part of...

Co-ordinated too, and a misuse of the funds. 

I'll help you get them if you fund me... I mean that's brown envelope stuff.

Edinburgh Sick kids Hospital 200 million and years late.

Prestwick Airport 50 million never to be seen again.

Worst drug deaths in Europe

Education a disaster and hiding the report till after the election.

Worst Nation in Europe for covid deaths compared to population.

All the SNP policies are either health related or giveaways to pensioners.  Where's the plans for the economy? Job creation,  housebuilding, manufacturing etc. Things that might benefit healthy working age folk and young families.  They're obsessed with the grey vote.

Cant see many pensioners taking up free school meals unless the SNP are taking the stupid self id a bit too far.

Also hear police scotland visited the first minister and her husband just before the leaders debate inquiring about indyref2 funds surprised @Joe pike has not been all over it.

There's been free school meals since before I was born,  it's hardly an SNP initiative is it?  You get them in England as well.

Cannot believe you imagine that SNP are so corrupt when we have lying, two timing, far right prick running the country from number ten.

Him and his Cronies will absolutely make sure they make plenty of cash from both Brexit and the Pandemic.

"Leveling up" will be the last thing that happens.

That is why they never talk about them its always SNPBAD with them.

Nippy is in the fight with one hand tied behind her back whilst Boris ensures his cronies supervise all his fights.

Unfortunately for him his band of supervisors are a dwindling bunch since head "clearer upperer" Cummings left the scene.

Nippy may be a lot of things but nobody can accuse her for not striving for a fairer, safer society.

You simply could not trust Boris as far as you can throw him, and that wouldn't be far!!
