Sturgeon must be thankful the current mob are in power in Westminster. Makes her job so much easier...

‘Jaw-dropping. The UK Tory government is going to Court to challenge a law passed by @scotparl unanimously. And for what? To protect their ability to legislate/act in ways that breach children’s rights in Scotland. Politically catastrophic, but also morally repugnant’. @NicolaSturgeon

 
I now get how two of the cliches I've kept hearing for a while are true.

That 'the voting system is designed to prevent an outright majority' (no issue with the concept, but I never truly understood the mechanism till now).

And the claim that in 2016 the snp 'did too well for their own good'.

Which I guess makes the third cliche of 'snp doing the impossible' in the 2011 election also true.

Tricky business, this hybrid part-PR system. I actually had to get mathematical and formulaic for it to truly click.


edit. What alex salmond is doing now also makes absolute sense, I totally see his angle now.

Douglas Ross on QT tonight will be interesting........an object lesson as to why care in the community doesn't work
 
This bellend was asked, if he was PM for one day, what would be top of his to do list?

I'd tighten up the laws on travellers.

He'll go far.

And he is their fucking leader. You would need to be as thick.as the **** to vote for him. Sadly, we have a right few in that region of the intelligence spectrum.. What you gonna do? That's why dance is my life. And always will be.

The thing is, before he became tory leader, by all accounts from friends in his constituency, he was actually 'a half decent fella'. I think he does get involved in the community and was seen as passionate and possibly even honest.

Then he takes the role and it is the same old party line rinse repeat rhetoric any old moron can just babble out. Zero positivity, no promise of anything meaningful, no potential, just the old, we will oppose and oppose strongly, if younwant us to oppose, vote for us for opposition.
 
The horrible English hater wee Jimmy Krankie on Andrew Marr. Had to put my Tele on standard resolution. HD was putting me of my brekkie.
 
So a hard border between Scotland and England would be a disaster for Trade - say the Tories - but the one between Great Britain and NI is just fine ! FFS

I don't think either the UK or Scotland envisage or would want a hard border, but I suppose if an independent Scotland wish to pursue EU membership then the EU would insist?
