I see him as a career politician with no discernible talent other than state the obvious in as bland and as woke a way as possible. Time may prove me mistaken but I don’t get any passion, direction or energy from him for moving Scotland forward and he hardly has a glittering ministerial career so far. Do you believe he has the charisma or the gravitas and depth to persuade the no’s that independence is the right way forward?Interesting indictment. Don't know enough, but he seemed to spread across more boxes to tick. Which is probably why he finished ahead.
What is perhaps more interesting, the two candidates that were 'reserved' in their independence pursuit strategy, were well ahead of the one that seemed to put that first or push the referendum more. From the little I have seen/read.
Will be interesting so see where he puts Forbes. She should look after finance. If he gives her health then we know exactly what he is about.
