“There are a couple of politicians who have been willing to speak out about what is going on but damn few.
Jesus the SNP are is rotten to its core, albeit for the odd one here and there. I have little or no hope for the ability of the current SNP to recover from the Sturgeonisation or Murrelising (i.e.
Whoever wins the leadership will have a monumental job. The GRR debacle and the financial irregularities will do much damage to the SNP prospects so whoever leads the SNP will be juggling with much reduced resources so the legitimacy of any Independence campaign will be much reduced. My suspicion is that the lib dems will recover and pick off some tory seats. I would be prepared a wager there will be an election strategy group beavering away in the bowels of Tory HQ devising devious devices and smear tactics. Don’t underestimate the capacity of the Tories to influence the election. Would we go into *that* subsequent election hoping that the SNP politicians who’d already given up many times in a row wouldn’t then agree again to go into coalition in the vain hope that *this* time Labour would make good on a S30 *this time*? Or would we start to think that some of them just liked being part of a coalition government for the UK?Įveryone and most of the politics pundits are suggesting Starmer is going to walk into Downing Street almost unopposed.I think they should not underestimate the capacity of Starmer to really alienate a lot of the traditional Labour voters. Again, oh really? What if polls leading up to the subsequent election showed Labour likely needed coalition partners to form a government in the following Parliament? What if they showed that their support would be damaged in the subsequent election by making the demise of the UK a reality? Would they grant a S30 then? The usual get out to *that* is “well, it would be towards the end of the Parliament so it wouldn’t matter”. Is that so? No-one can ever explain why the Labour government would allow something which threatened to reduce its coalition government’s majority, i.e. All of which conveniently forgets that Labour is a UNIONIST party.Īlso, it’s normally all predicated on “well, they might need us for a coalition so then they’d have to give it as a return for that”. Those believing otherwise seem to have some mixed-up notion that Labour might allow it because both parties are “progressive” and because they *appeared* to be on the same side re the EU etc. However, as you say, anyone who’s awake knows this is the case.
