The SNP is in a ‘tremendous mess’ apparently.

Since these two stepped down within weeks of one another the SNP seems to be imploding at a rate of knots.

What on Earth is going on? There is so much in-flighting.

Do you know Humza's a Republican ?

No, but if you hum a few bars ….🎶🎶🎶🎶

So that's done and dusted, and the backbiting amongst them will now stop, won't it? I adopt the attitude that the proof will be in the pudding

Hamza won 52% to 48%

Unfortunate figures.

Will Scotland or the SNP ever unite behind the 52%?

The fraudulent EU referendum of 2016 resulted in 52% to 48% and, quite apart from the fact that the majority has been in the other direction ever since, the UK is still strongly divided.

Not a good omen for the SNP.

Yes, very close but it's not exactly on the scale of importance as the EU referendum.

Leaders come and leaders go.

Callistemon it's obvious you don't live in Scotland or you'd never say such a thing.

Callistemon21 Mon 27-Mar-23 21:54:57

Oh dear!
No, I don't and my Scottish friends are the ones who've emigrated!

Well, Humza can’t do worse than Sturgeon, there is that.
If the SNP put in as much effort in running Scotland really well, as they do going on about independence and another referendum it would be a good start.

I have good reason to have absolutely no respect for SNP or it's members.
Electing Humza must go down in history as a spectacular own goal by them. The 'continuity candidate' for a party its own CE said was in a 'tremendous mess'.
Paddyann remind me - how many times has the Queensferry crossing had to be closed due to faults they hadn't considered?

I'd love somebody to explain to me why a lot of indignant fluttering went on on another thread when we had a discussion about lack of respect for people's childlike faith, but posters here can say they don't respect a particular political party and its supporters and nobody bats an eyelid.

It's just double standards isn't it?

Anyway. Those hoping there'll be no more talk of Independence, from a party whose raison d'etre is independence.You really don't know much about Scotland at all do you? Don't rely on the Unionists that post here. You'll be disappointed.

😂😂😂 Volver laugh a minute with you eh?!

GrannyGravy13 Tue 28-Mar-23 09:01:00

respect for a political party sorry volver3 but that did make me laugh

There might be lots of respects posted on GN but very very few for any political party in the U.K…

volver3 Tue 28-Mar-23 09:02:31

I'm more concerned with the lack of respect for any of its supporters. So no respect for half your countrymen? How odd

Not sure what your point is?

Where have I disrespected any supporters of any political party volver3 ?

volver3 Tue 28-Mar-23 09:38:30

You haven't GG13 I don't expect you would. As you know, I don't approve of the current crop of Tories but that doesn't mean I disrespect them all and all the people who vote for them.

My point is that "some posters" (!) think it's OK to say they disrespect everybody who supports the SNP.

Who's the divisive one, I wonder...the SNP or those who disrespect half their fellow countrymen?

GrannyGravy13 Tue 28-Mar-23 11:24:45

Thanks volver3 I am not really concentrating on GN and the moment, real life is getting in the way 🤣🤣

Aveline Tue 28-Mar-23 11:59:17

Rather less than half Volver!

The proof will be in the puddingAveline remember get your own house in order before you criticise mine

Didn’t you know Aveline is Scottish? Oh dear.

I think multicolourswapshop was talking about the Scottish Tories!

Rather less than half Volver!

Aye, just the 48% at the last GE.

Fleurpepper Tue 28-Mar-23 12:33:48

Scottish National Party4474.6%
Scottish Conservatives610.2%

Could it be that Edinburgh is not really representative of the rest of Scotland, in many ways. Just like Paris or London are not either.

Why is this thread in 'chat'?

volver3 Tue 28-Mar-23 12:39:41

Most Tories are in the borders or the North East.

The Borderers often that think they're really English anyway and the North East because they think the Tories will look after their fishing boats and farms.

I'm a Buchan quine, so I know the North East mind.

When did you last see a Micky Mouse cartoon? The cameo in Fantasia doesn't count.

I'm not challenging you, I'm just asking since I'm sure I've never seen one since I was very small indeed.

So that everyone can join in, whether they know the first thing about politics or not?

Jan 12, 2022 · The Queensferry Crossing has been closed due to falling ice on 3 occasions since opening to traffic in September 2017, details are as follows: 10 February 2020 closed 18:05 reopened 12 February 2020 11:35 (41 hours 30 mins) 04 December 2020 closed 04:16 reopened 08:48 (4 hours 32 minutes) .I cant find figures for last year .
The Forth Road bridge however was closed many times more due to high winds.As was the Erskine bridge ,neither of which were built on the SNP's watch.
I do have friends who use the QC every day and according to them its been a life changer .I'm sure with all your anti SNP fiends you'll find someone who says its ruined their life because of those 3 that is THREE closures in two and a half YEARS !!

Aveline Tue 28-Mar-23 15:04:31

Don't forget the delayed opening. Bit like the ferries. You SNP 'fiends' are all alike. Forgetful like Nicola - when it suits her
