Alba at the moment are an irrelevance, the have no influence in nothing really, that’s why they need to focus on small steps, the Indy vehicle is away to be obliterated, I have no doubt they have a plan

In the grand scheme of things, it’s a bit irrelevant to alba at the moment, alba need to concentrate on specific seats/areas to get a foothold before the start anything else

Oh and forgot about the stitch up of their best politician and best FM we aver had

There is a massive opportunity for the snp in two years time, all they need to do is listen to me 🤣 sack humza after the GE replace him with Forbes and regain the centre ground..

But they have put them off the SNP, the vehicle for independence,, regarding getting WM to give a referendum, there could be various ways to do this, I don’t know why the government haven’t used the claim of right even if it’s just for a sound bite as not sure how legally binding it would be,, the current SNP are so timid when they tip toe around the subject. The SNP need to have the general public on board with their government before pushing for a referendum and they definitely don’t have that,, it’s a blessing WM haven’t “granted” one

Via the process of not going after I universally unpopular policies, ie!! GRR, HMPA’s, bottle return scheme, hate crime, log burner bans, oil and gas stance,minimum alcohol pricing, higher taxes,, it boggles my brain as to why an “nationalist party” goes after policies like those.. it’s like, what police’s can I go after to put folk aff independence

And that’s the extremely worrying part, we haven’t a party that is able to mobilise them yes voters,, I have said it time and again that all the Snp had to do post 2014 was run a sound, competent, non divisive government and we would gain independence,, they have done the complete opposite

Polling shocking today for the SNP, even at holyrood,, if only folk were warned that installing a neep like humza would lead to this 🤔

Strip everything back, all signs point to that,, regardless if it’s unthinkable, take the human emotion out of it and come to a conclusion and it won’t be far from my conclusion

The Politicians who I believe that can be trusted are the Ewing’s, KF, Gillian Martin, Jim fairlie, Alex Neil, Christine Graham and cherry,, a few others I have missed,, listen to them and the party will find it’s way back

Speculation by observation and what’s being spoken about by members who I know,, I would be gob smacked if those two did not see what is away to happen and start planning to stand,, KF will not be caught on the back foot this time

Give them ammunition and they will use it,, we are the snp and need our guard up instead of introducing week idiotic policies

the "log burner ban" will be the next shit storm

seems to have been a theme since sturgeon took over,, destroy independence supporting industries.Oil&Gas , the fishing industry, the arts and buisness in general while bending over backwards to please the identity politics nut jobs whos numbers are probably less than 2000,, anyone if they could explain the logic behind this, please shed some light on this

my advice to members of the party on here is to try get across how much trouble we are in to their local branches and that change is needed and needed fast,, it seems the old heartlands of the party are the first to waken up to this

Looking like a two horse race between forbes and flynn, the question is how does flynn work his way into holyrood,,i still have forbes everyday of the week

i just dont get it tbh,, it was so evident that it was going to be another shit storm,, is it stupidity, lack of self awareness or something more sinister

Every day humza digs the hole that bit deeper, we all know he is going to be replaced as snp leader, surely the current snp politicians see this also, time to bite the bullet and get rid of him, the self harm has gone on long enough

My point is, he was not nearly as decisive as most folk portray,, had salmond stayed on after the referendum I have no doubt in my mind we would be independent..I am not blinkered on salmond, i se him for what he is, damaged by a total witch hunt that hopefully come out in the wash there has been no one, and I mean no one, more decisive than sturgeon. She has torn the party into bits all over identity politics, it’s insane folk can’t see through this.

look up the referendum data, you will find it in there

he alienated unionists correct, however he had 51% of indigenous scots vote for independence.

the worst thing IMHO opinion the snp could do in the next election, is run it along side independence, humza and the current crop of SNP lot will do serious damage to independence in association alone,, i dont think folk are grasping the scale on disapproval of the snp atm

the snp will be lucky to get 15 seats

I am saying that is extremely possible and more likely than not, intentionally harmed the party..

well in my area they made a woman only shortlist for MSP selection, bullied anyone they didnt want to stand so we got karen adams and her merry bunch of woke hanger ons,, they sidelines any councilors they didnt like such as john cox,, i know for a fact this came from the top of the party as i knew a lady who was going to challenge
