But the point is here DeeDon is it never use to be like this In the last few years democracy has bit by bit removed from the SNP membership and without doubt the main driver of this is one of those unelected power mad folk you talk of ... One Peter Murrell !

I'll post this wee link for you and try and give you an understanding of whats happening within the SNP. Please give it some serious thought.

I read it, but nothing in it surprised me. I suppose the only thing that did surprise me is that folk actually give a sh*t about what goes on behind the scenes in political parties. It's never going to change. The days of picking over policy in smoked filled rooms before presenting to conference are long gong and never coming back.

I'm not saying it is right, but it's what happens, hence why I don't follow any of it much. and don't put too much trust in any of them.

Of course your general perspective of Political parties is spot on, Factions rool But I'd argue its slightly different with SNP a two pronged strategy is required 1 To present policies to the country as a whole.. policies the country likes and trust. 2 To fight for Independence its the second on where the friction lies passions run mighty high there.

I just want us out of the union. Once we rid ourselves of Westminster rule, only then we can start worrying abour real policies to present to the public without looking over our shoulder as to what the guffs are doing.
