I was involved in an event with Lorna Slater a couple of years ago. Honestly there are no words to articulate how dense she is, it was embarrassing to more than a few people there. She has been completely protected during this farce of a coalition just to prop up votes.
Two more years of this panto until a election?

Douglas Ross has tabled a vote of no confidence in the 1st Minister, I believe the SNP would have 63 votes, Lab/Con/LibDem 57, Greens 7, Alba 1
The Greens & Alba would be needed to bin Humza
Interesting

When he goes, hopefully after the VONC, it is guaranteed he will play the race card for being ousted.
Well let’s keep this honest. The Greens are a minority extremist party and they were used by the SNP. Like the Lib Dems before them, dangle a touch of power in front of them. Power they wouldn’t have a cat in hells chance of obtaining otherwise, and they will deal with satan themselves. Did they actually think this was a coalition of equals and they were anything other than useful votes/idiots?
Of course the problem is, as Yousaf had discovered, that extremists want extreme things. Scotland wasn’t hitting the 2030 target without doing lasting irreparable damage to it’s economy. We are talking decades of recovery if at all. To a Green extremist, who will never hold power and have to justify the decision, that is a price worth paying. If Yousaf’s dream of independence comes true, he would have to answer to the people of Scotland when the lights go out.

Absolutely. Victimhood is the most precious commodity in modern political discourse. Just ask Prince Harry, who grew up in a literal palace. Isn't he some sort of victim and progressive icon now?
I totally agree with this.
The greens need SNP voters using their lists votes for them. They might be annoyed now but come the VONC I don't think they'll bring him down or piss off SNP voters.
the problem is the SNP is full of in-fighting, he could get brought down regardless. It's a total shitshow
I'll eat my hat if a single snp msp voted to bring him down.
Yeah. The Greens will put their own political interests first.
if it was an anonymous vote he would be history
Possibly an own goal to bring him down anyway. He’s the biggest political asset the Scottish opposition parties have,if it was an anonymous vote he would be history
These are the same clowns who wanted to decimate small fishing communities/islands up the West Coast via designated no-catch zones, which were already working fine, being sustainable & eco-friendly.
The votes should all be anonymous. It really annoys me that they aren't.if it was an anonymous vote he would be history
Why? We elect these people to vote for their constituents. Not themselves. All votes should be in the public domain.
