Jim McLean's Ghost Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 4 hours ago, topcat(The most tip top) said: She’s not happy with this If she thought she was going to win she would just resign. If she had the backing of her local party she could get one of her loyalists as the candidate in the by-election and have a continuity of staff, at least until the Scottish Elections. The staff thing is a complete redherring. She just wasn't confident of winning and did not want to take a risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Pretty much every Labour stooge that openly told voters to choose Boris instead of Corbyn have been rewarded with knighthoods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I see my local SNP branch won't be allowing my current MSP to stand for reselection due to having a penis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think, the BBC loves to point to dodgy regimes elsewhere that do this kind of shit, with a raised eyebrow and condescending tone. Banana Republic/Post-Soviet kleptocrat behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Alistair Campbell saying we have become a tinpot country obviously referring to these peerages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash-for-Honours_scandal Historical amnesia seems to be becoming more and more prevalent.

I think we should live in a country where we aren't governed by any of these people. And hopefully we will be, soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the branch, it was a NEC decision.Despite the sitting MSP changing his mind about standing down, so the NEC have effectively deselected him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) What the NEC have done to Dornan is deliciously sleekit. Fair more satisfying than the open 'come on then if you think you're hard enough' issued to Cherry I hope they put a transwoman on the shortlist just as an added GIRFUY Edited July 31, 2020 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Cherry seems to be a bit of a hate figure on here.Is it her stance with the trans stuff that's earned her that, or is there anything else folk are getting at?She’s a privately educated middle aged lesbian from Edinburgh.That’s not going to appeal to the P&B demographic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting a ropey af moustache too. Three minutes in and ... boom... "Newsnat"! He reeks of establishment patriarchal entitlement and it was the undoing of him politically. Thank goodness his contemporary cohorts aren't falling into the same trap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 It would be very funny if Joanna Cherry had given up her seat to become an MSP candidate and then lost the election. It would be pretty funny if Robertson loses it, given how the selection for the SNP has been hyped as a route back to Holyrood. However, the SNP will win the seat handily.It’s always heartening to see people who act like being selected as a candidate is the ticket to office lose the actual vote - Falkirk being the best example where the Labour selection was huge news in 2013 but the SNP won the seat by about 20,000 votes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhafc1874 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 It would be a bit amusing to me at this point if Marco Biagi wins the nomination to be the candidate for Edinburgh Central ahead of Angus.Biagi was the SNP MSP for the seat from 2011-2016 too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
git-intae-thum Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 "who" has decided? That's the million dollar question. Just wish all these very talented minds would stop trying to backstab eachother and get on with the job of delivering independence. Where has it all come from??? Its deeply suspicious tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Robertson is the natural choice to replace Sturgeon. She has many, many years left in the role though I hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
