If assessing solely on personality and not grasp of brief/debating skills - which ultimately (and bizarrely) still influences many people's voting intention, Blackford I believe will be reasonably okay at keeping decided voters on-board. However I don't believe he has the personality, charisma or anything else to appeal to many of the undecided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unionist press have there powder dry and are ready to unleash the inevitable barrage, should the FM fail to do the honourable thing before the SP elections. As above..... Who will the replacement be....and therefore who likely will be our first minister. Unlike the previous first minister the incumbent has totally failed to nurture a successor and has carefully sidelined or excluded any potential political rivals. Good for Mr and Mrs Murrell. Shite for independence!!!! Therefore, when the fm has to face the inevitable, where does that leave us? Who is next? I was pondering this the other day. This COVID-19 saga is dragging on and some folk will get pissed off at being told what they can and cannot do. Folk whose businesses and livelihoods have been affected will be annoyed. Every government, or at least leader, only carries public goodwill for a certain time before they have reached a tipping point. There’s also the fallout from the Salmond case, which is being painted as a stitch up and the media don’t seem to have to look too far to find questionable decisions from senior civil servants and not much separation between them and senior political figures. However, that will influence far fewer voters than the COVID-19 stuff. There’s also the Brexit thing which is still to play out. I’m not sure who the next one will be but being a leader through these times must be pretty stressful. There’s no obvious choice. The SNP seemed to be planning for Derek MacKay taking over until he was exposed for grooming a schoolboy. From memory Swinney had a shot and wasn’t very good. Who else is there? You would have thought there would at least be discussions among SNP ranks as to who the successor is just in case there’s a resignation, health issue, etc. The SNP MSPs are possibly a bit like Labour were in the ‘90s. In with the bricks and immovable but they have a lot of filler in their ranks. Maybe there are loads of talented potential leaders among them but they aren’t obvious to me.

The reality is we have yet to see any plan that is going to get us independent. After 6 years of waiting!!! That is the reality. This is it for me too. Wee Nic is treading water. The main purpose of the SNP is to gain independence for Scotland, but even the SNP Vision on their website doesn’t specifically mention the I word. Anyone who wants to actually see independence in their lifetime will be getting fidgety at her approach. Wee Nic: Let us hold a second referendum! Tories: Naw. The Tories - especially this strain of Tories - have no reason to grant us a second referendum. How does Wee Nic compel them? What are the other options? Do we need to follow the Tory narrative of ‘once in a generation’ so wait until 2034 before the next one? What am I thinking! A Tory generation will be 30 years at least, so 2044. Great, I’ll be in my 70s still dutifully voting for the SNP for IndyRef2. Edited October 18, 2020 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however think he/they will try some jiggery pokery around the framing of the ref. I certainly don't think that any 'Plan B' should be advertised giving the Tories a year or so to plan for it in order to appease a few numpties on the indy side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other plan mentioned seems to be legal action to challenge whether Scotland can run a legal referendum/leave the UK without Westminster approval. If we recognise Scotland is a country then I’m not sure why that country should have to beg Westminster for the chance to leave the United Kingdom. Obviously I only have to look to Spain to see what the state can so easily become, when they see their authority challenged, but how many times will Wee Nic re-heat her IndyRef2 speech only for it to get shut down by the various Tories who are in charge? Do we just need to wait until a better government appears down South? I’m not sure what other plans there are, but I would have thought any options available should be exhausted. If it’s just a case of keep on voting and you never know then all but the hardcore will lose interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I don’t have any steadfast answer for you tbh, as I said it’s my hot take but I just think it’s the politics of it and the dam will burst next year. Maybe that’s wishful thinking on my part, maybe not. But if you look at the language BJ has used on it, it’s already starting to soften ever so slightly and I am making an educated guess that they know it’s coming and are preparing for it. I’m more concerned about a stitch up out of the two scenarios. Btw, I can completely understand why people are anxious about it and telling the SNP to ‘get on with it’, ‘whaurs plan b’ etc. But people need to remember two things; Plan A is working at the moment in convincing people of the merits of Scottish Indy, so why change tact? And the pandemic, whilst probably beneficial to the SNP in showing contrasts of leadership, has thrown a spanner in the works of pretty much everything else. They’ve got to work through that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
