Nicola Sturgeon Arrested

I think you might have missed sarcasm there. Just guessing.

I plainly need to be much more obvious!

I thought you were, given your previous commentary.

I've obviously not been paying close attention as it is a subject that I speed read through. 😉

Sounds like an admission of the poor quality of your speed reading. You're not going to do very well on your weekly NCAP comprehension test ...

What's new? I'm not Donnie after all so I don't have a 600% IQ.

Yes, what with the fortunate timing of Murrell's trial being after the elections.

And at a time when people are fed up of the Labour/Tory duopoly and are looking for alternatives to vote for. People are even voting for the Greens and Reform, so the SNP would find it impossible not to pick up votes.

Perhaps I should form a political party. I'll need some catchy policies.

Well, it's a modest start.

Free bikes for children was literally an SNP policy.

To be fair, the Labour/Tory duopoly hasn't really been much of a thing in Holyrood for a long time. This time around, it looks like Reform picked up Tory votes, the LibDems appropriated Labour support, & younger pro-independence supporters voted Green rather than SNP, but not to the extent that it made much significant difference. Second-highest turnout since the independence referendum, apparently.

I wonder how different it would have been if the Murrell Trial had gone ahead in the run-up, as planned? Would it have made any difference?

Probably have more success with a simple one policy stance.
War on motorists.

Recent local elections would suggest otherwise, you just need to be not Labour, and not Tory

@Ian H as a Tory candidate would certainly be entertaining.

I’m someone’s child - would I qualify?

I might do a reverse of what Starmer has done to Labour...

...but better and more thoroughly.
