    Just wondering whether or not John Swinney is only stepping in as a temporary measure or if he intends to be there on a much more permanent basis.
    I, personally don't have too much of a problem with Swinney because I think that he's perhaps one of the SNP's most intelligent and more reasonable people.
    I never really used to like him, but he appears to have mellowed and when listening to him speaking he often talks a lot of sense.
    But much more importantly he's always struck me as a real decent person who genuinely cares.

      @@keithmuir5077 as I have already tried to convey, I think it's much more important that you are a decent person than being the best at anything else.
      Perhaps, John Swinney just isn't as big a tool as the others.
      Why isn't it that they seem to keep coming back to him, if he's as bad as you appear to paint him?
      By the way, you might want to change your thumbnail because it ain't really happening anytime soon.
      That's why the Sturgeon stood down.
