SNP and Greens end coalition deal

I would have thought in many ways it would have made it easier. Patrick Harvie in particular is bonkers in my humble opinion.

They ALL are!

Quelle surprise!

I concur regarding Patrick Harvie, but minority government is usually harder. It will depend I suppose on whether the Greens withdraw all support for SNP motions, or vote on a case by case basis.

I read to-day about how much the Scottish government is loosing since they raised the upper tax limit to more than the rest of the UK . The sooner they are out the better . They are increasing the minimum price on wines and spirits again despite the fact that it made no difference to the booze culture here at all .

There will likely be at two no confidence votes next week. Humza's future as FM hangs in the balance, Ash Regan is key - she's the one Humza said was 'no loss to the SNP' when she switched to Alba.

Totally agree,allof them!

As for Ash Regan? Nasty piece of work....

IMO the ongoing scandal with Peter Murrell is just another nail in the coffin for the SNP despite the fact he no longer has anything to do with them.
There are no good choices any more, the government no longer does the will of the people just out to make the fat cats even fatter, not to mention lining their own pockets with huge expense accounts and very very generous wages plus all the other perks. None of them have any idea the day to day struggles of the ordinary working people.

Ash Regan resigned from SNP on appoint of principle during the gender recognition palaver. It was the honourable thing to do and I respect her for that. One MSP who stuck up for women. Real women.

I know people who vote for the Greens, fondly imagining they are solely concerned with the environment. Not so! They are a nasty little lot with an agenda which is quite iniquitous to many. The further away from any sort of power, the better. The SNP, itself riddled with corruption, made a pact with the devil when they formed the coalition. I’m glad I don’t live in Scotland although our own politicians in Westminster are no better. Weak, watery and completely refusing to listen to the people who elected them. Labour won’t be any better. I despair for the future of our island sometimes!

The SNP are an absolute joke, the only thing they’re good at is wasting tax payers money. The list of failures is horrendous, I read just today they spent £3million pounds de-carbonising a building that was valued under £300k. The sooner the Scottish people wake up and see that devolution has done nothing to improve our lives the better, it’s just another gravy train

Absolutely agree with this. I am delighted to see this partnership end.

She was/is my MSP and to be honest she did very little for her constituency. However I agree with her particular stance on women and the bonkers GRR bill. Interesting times.

Completely agree Aveline.

This is the second thread I've read with negative comments about trans women, I'm not trans but for some people this is not a choice or fad, have some empathy

The trans issue was the catalyst for a whole lot of trouble that has snowballed here in Scotland.

If you are looking for corruption look no further than Westminster. If Scotland votes in either of the Westminster parties they will.lice to regret it. You xan smell the stench of Westminster in the woes the SNP are suffering. The bunch of tory low life's were terrified of Nicola Sturgeon, she had to go. The entitlement of the tory parliament is frightening. However, they are protected by the underhand tactics of the papers, I was going to call them newspapers but that would imply journalistic excellence. Instead we have scandal rags.

Of course. The mess in Scotland is nothing to do with the 17 awful years of Scottish government. It's all Westminster's fault.
If you believe that how would you like to buy the Forth bridge? I can let you have it for a good price 😂

Why would anyone be "terrified" of Nicola Sturgeon. As a leader she was rather robotic with selective memory challenges, hardly Atilla the Hun. Her sister is a bit scary.

Hear hear!

As previously stated the trans issue was a major catalyst for the trouble that SNP got into.
