  • The SNP has received an “immediate lift” in canvassing sessions as John Swinney prepares to become its next leader, the party’s depute leader has claimed.
    Keith Brown said the “field is clearing” as it is expected that Mr Swinney will run unopposed and be confirmed as SNP leader later on Monday.
    Founder of The Majority Mark Devlin joins Talk’s Alex Phillips to discuss the situation of Scottish politics.

    The Scottish system where we have 73 elected MSPs and then we get 56 also rans foisted on us gives 129 MSPs. The equivalent of 1,720 MPs in Westminster which would be considered ridiclous. These extra 56 MSPs cost a lot and I never se my 7or8 holding public meetings or giving justification for their salaries. Holyrood is far from full at FMQT. Why do we Scots never challenge Holyrood and its set up?

    The worrying thing here, is how easy it was to get extreme views in law as a result of proportional representation. For example the ridiculous gender law that helped double r*pists be put in Scotland’s women’s prisons and the recent hate law. If this can happen, imagine an ideology that has a high proportion of extremism across the world being able to get their wants through.

    This guy has no clue what he is talking about when it comes to electoral systems. Just because the system elects people we do not agree with does not emply it is a bad system. Reform UK are demanding PR because they are usless at getting votes in an isolated areas. I dislike reform but if they got people elected under PR placing whoever they want the list that is their choice.
    Secondally, the scottish system is superior the FPTP as its not pure proportionality which is stupid. But it gives a good amount for it. West minster need a better voting sytem

      That's very true of the SNP and as a consequence, Independence is toast for at least 15-20 years (if ever).
      It's down to the total lack of preparation in the last 17 years. Scotland now has a £ 20 + BILLION budget deficit which has to be funded, no real improvement in both internal and export infrastructures, declining education, health and local services and such as the seabed for wind farms was sold off @ fire sale price, ferries late and way over budget.
      No coherent 'pathway to Independence' has been articulated to the electorate, only a number of very expensive, high-level, glossy brochures full of word soup and totally lacking credibility - promises of taking 100,000 children out of poverty, FREE bikes and laptops, i/2 price train fares.
      The other half of the SNP are fighting purely for POWER - limiting local government, centralising everything - eg: Named Adult and Hate Crime Bills extended mpa's; Sleekit increased taxation eg: ULEZ, pay-per-mile; and then spend, spend, spend on vanity projects and jobs for the grey kilt slugs.
      There will always be those who cannot accept it, but reality is a cruel mistress as Useless has just found out and Swinney will.

The alleged deficit is created by UK spending and allocating the cost to Scotland, with Scotgov having no say whatsoever on WHAT or even WHERE in the UK or the WORLD it is spent. The TRANSITION to Indy will take several years so there will be plenty of time to arrange things, as every coutry in the world has had to do, sometimes even in great haste after a disastrous war.
