In a lot of instances they are sadly perfect representatives of the electorate.

Gas lighting seems to be a religion amongst them too.

I see that the “independence in five years” rubber bone was tossed to the internal electorate by the leadership candidates yesterday, according to today’s press. No word of the political mechanism required, nor the means of connecting with the non-believers or the undecideds. I suspect, however, that the current culture will continue to prevail.

“Separatist!”

“Yoon!”

“Poopypants!”

“Yer ma!”

I switched off from it all about December 2013, and it doesn’t look to have improved much.

Wha’s like us?

Er….most other people everywhere, I’d guess.

That's the point of freeing ourselves from the english really.

To be able to join in with other nations as a free and equal partner.

Not to want to feel superior by chumming up to the yanks all the time and pretending that empire still counts.



Anyway, nation states should be broken up.

If you had told me in 2015 we would be out of the EU within 5 years, I'd have laughed loud at you.

I doubt it will happen, but would love it to come true.

My missus is a party member so it was on in the house. What kind of sad b’stard would go along to that, if you weren’t a member? Half the audience would never vote for them regardless. Absolutely tragic.

The candidates themselves were three different flavours of sh1te

Those that have risen to the top in The Party are the nodding dogs who haven’t the cerebral capacity to have an original thought. That includes bifters like Robertson and Matheson, and two out of the three leadership wannabes. Forbes has at least some thought-processing mechanisms behind that sniper’s dream forehead. That makes her potentially dangerous to The Party Establishment who under Murrell and his beard Sturgeon were able to rule despotically with any hint of departure from The Party line stood on, and the non-disputatious groomed and entitled lamebrains pushed forward to parrot The Party line. I keep coming back to Animal Farm in analogising (not through my anus) the mechanisms by which this state of affairs has come to pass, and “4 legs good, 2 legs bad” is a succinct Orwellian summing-up of the Sturgeonite loyalists who have deluded and, I believe, intimidated those who choose to offer a different path to independence, inside The Party or in the wider political world.

The next 12 months are going to be very interesting if the cracks are wide enough to bring the factionalism into plain sight.

Anarchy, it's the only way.

I'd agree with that. No idea why anyone believes a word any politician says though.
