Thank f*** she’s gone. I utterly despise her and all that she stands for. Screwed up everything she’s touched. An arrogant and deluded individual who has made Scotland a laughing stock.

How was she competent? She failed at everything except winning elections

She failed at everything except winning elections

Why do you think she won those elections?

[Red Zone]

Why do you think she won those elections?

Largely due to the 50% who want independence mostly all voting for the SNP as the only pathway to independence whereas the 50% that don't want independence split their votes across three parties.

Is that not a good trait to have being leader of a political party?

Any MacHiavellian populist can offer a not-for-profit national energy company, lower class sizes, action on drug deaths, the dualling of the A9 and A96, a replacement for “the unfair Council Tax”, the re-instatement of Insch Hospital, reliable sea transport for the Western Isles, and pie suppers in the sky (©️ Bryan McNeill) to obtain votes.

The mystery is why the intelligent electorate we are told we have up here in the tundra, continued to vote for cerebrally-limited nodding dog candidates when such undertakings and offers have disappeared on the vote being delivered, generally because delivery of such promises is too difficult given the limited capabilities of the chancers, charlatans, and shoe-in careerists sent to both parliaments.

And that’s fit I think.

Ach, calm yer jets, 57.
Pete Wishart will leads us to the land of milk 'n' hunny.

It's not so much a pool of talent in Scottish politics, more a spit.
