We have the right to question politicians elected to office to act on our behalf rather than, as her fan club suggests, acquiesce to any action proposed or taken. I still want to know why this city's travel restrictions put in place with good intent, have not been imposed on the current virus hotspot to prevent infection spreading beyond that area. An idea of the reasoning behind this difference in approach, if not made clear, has already, apparently led to accusations of this being a political decision ie the government is fearful of upsetting its Central Belt voters.

Add to that the squirming going on as the Party attempts to gloss over its potential civil war, its history of refusal, delay, prevention, obstruction and use of the judiciary to prevent the release of information, despite its claim to want politics 'to be done differently', for all its posturing that governance characterised by openness and transparency would be its defining characteristic, and there's a start.

Believe it or not, I'm not one of those studiedly-cool cynics who girns "they're all the same", a gift to the right who use such apathy to get their way, and I believe that most politicians are probably caring and diligent in their desire to improve things, even where beliefs clash, but that's currently being tested severely.

Edit: and don’t get me started on the easy time Swinney’s had over the series of educational catastrophes. I thought he was a competent, safe pair of hands, but like every other Education (and the renaming of portfolios hasn’t fooled me) minister since 2007, he’s found that ***** brief beyond his capabilities or the Party’s will.

Edit 2: apparently “v i t a l” without spaces is a censor-worthy obscenity. ****’s sake, Sibo, you prudish prick.
