fatshaft Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Aye it would, instead he'll launch a list party for the 2021 elections. The boy is nothing if not dedicated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Heliums Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 12 hours ago, fatshaft said: Aye it would, instead he'll launch a list party for the 2021 elections. The boy is nothing if not dedicated. He won't, I don't think. Seems to me he's been angling for an exit for a while. His growing obsession with fighting trans rights was a sign of both spoiling for a fight and losing interest in the independence cause, and his grandiose plans for a political party smelled of megalomania. He was starting to be laughed at. He must have known it was downhill from there: he'd never raise the same amount in a fundraiser this year, and yesterday was a decent opportunity to exit, blaming others. I think he's history. Pity in a way: he was incisive and smarter than politicians. Just a shame his personality – and his ego – got the better of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Just now, fatshaft said: You're not aware what the judge said in summation? Yes. Though there was no evidence to show that Campbell was homophobic, it was reasonable for Dugdale to infer in good faith from his tweet that he was. Even if he had found her to have deliberately defamed him, the damage to his reputation, given his constant abuse of others on twitter, would have been valued at no more than £100, a tiny fraction of his legal bills stumped up for by his loyal fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Whether Campbell is the man to do it or not, theres a massive gap in the market for a right wing, small c conservative pro independence party. It might end up like UKIP with the Tories and have its policies adopted by the SNP. Edited February 2, 2020 by sparky88 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe independence can be won by solely appealing to left wing, soft/ex Labour voters. They tried it once and came quite a bit short. SNP stance on Brexit has alienated these voters even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was tried a while ago with the Scottish Libertarian Party but they didn't get anywhere, though I know they were more of a pro-independence/pro-Brexit party. The Libertarians (or another conservative pro-independence party) wouldn't be to my taste but I wondered if the cause for Scottish independence is hindered by having one massive party as it's vehicle - aside from the Greens, there's no alternative independence visions and for people who aren't centre-left/left, there's no-one speaking their language pushing this issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
