AndyM Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Staggering to see a woman as intelligent and educated as Forbes blow her campaign up by clinging to 18th Century religious nonsense. She more Proddy than some of our more excitable bluenoses on here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Ronald if she moves to the right. 6 minutes ago, Bodie said: Wonder what silly nicknames the Unionists will come up with, much to live up/down to after wee Nippy and wee Jimmy Krankie.

Popular Post Blootoon87 Posted February 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2023 I hope Forbes is following all teachings of the bible as stringently. Slavery, stoning people to death, not eating shellfish, not wearing clothes of two different materials etc. No? Thought not, she's just using her religion to justify her bigotry. People like her should be nowhere near the levers of power. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably not enough to win but enough to show just how unpopular Yousaf is as a candidate Aye, but she's also running on a more Toryesque platform regarding zero carbon transition, which is likely to not be that popular with the membership. She won't engage with the principle of protecting devolution as she doesnt like the GRR, which is an issue. That and accepting the current vendor bid on dualling the A9 seems to be where she is. Will he interested to see where she goes on other social/economic issues but my impression is she is to thr right of the younger, more left leaning part of the membership and more in tune with the traditional Salmondnistas, which would make her a great leader of Alba... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy she was honest, means she has torched her own campaign and someone who holds those views won't be leading the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I must admit I haven't paid too much attention in recent years to the rise of Kate Forbes. I suspect many in the electorate are the same, she has a much lower profile generally than others. I'd never even heard of Ash Regan until this contest. All I get now is that she's against self-identification and against gay marriage. Which, strangely, are two key pillars of the government she is a part of. On GRR, the fact she thought she could side-step having to resign over the issue because she was on maternity leave just speaks of lack of character. If she felt she couldn't support it, she should have quit. That fact she didn't, and is now openly saying she disagreed with the policy, is really weak. This has Boris Johnson flying off around the world when the Heathrow vote came up all over it. On gay marriage - this issue was settled years and years ago. When the likes of David Cameron are on the right side of this argument and you are not, something is really wrong here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so but the candidates only need a hundred nominations from members each so it's a low hurdle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
