The Scottish Politics thread

[Gabriel]

Ironically, with both the snp and the Tories, personality is probably as important as it gets just now. There's not going to be much of a difference in policy or strategy. But how well the public take to them and how much the media can pile on them will be a big part of their job.

Agree with that. The SNP will probably have to maintain a holding pattern until the next General Election, yet, as you say, if nothing changes substantially between now and that point, then greater focus will be on personality. That’s never enjoyable.

Add blackford to the list too - some very vocal and seemingly tough political figures disappearing very quickly and quietly with barely a word. I suspect they've been tricked/trapped into compromising positions and given an ultimatum.
A shame as Blackford and Sturgeon have been the nearest the govt have got to an actual opposition - perhaps their in lies the answer.

At this rate, Nicola Sturgeon is going to be eating kangaroo anus in the Australian jungle this November.

Wee Nippy and her 'husband' allegedly have a couple of of super injunctions in place with regards to her private life and his business dealings.
