Any governing body has to be able to get policy through the assembly/ parliament.
Even with the Alba vote that means on paper, 64 votes against 64 votes.

Leaving voting in the parliament to a casting vote.

If that becomes untenable with any absentees or other issues.

There's only one way to resolve it, that's with fresh elections.

Yousaf is never likely to get Con or Labour votes
It seems the Lib Dems back the no confidence vote too.
He has a very hard road ahead to his being in power now for any length of time.
Even with the Alba vote.

Is he staying because he thinks it's the best thing for Scotland? Or for the SNP?

Yousaf was on SkyNewsHD
surrounded by screaming kids
talking to their Scottish reporter
he was told the Greens want him out.

He said all
must work with his minority government?

arista 27-04-2024 01:12 PM

Last night
on Ch4HDnews their Lady Scottish Reporter
asked Yousaf if he would last longer than lettuce?

Yousaf: said if that is the level of Ch4news reporting
we should end this interview

arista 27-04-2024 01:14 PM

LT folks are at betting shops on Yousaf


I do hope a News Channel
shows the bets..................

bots 27-04-2024 01:15 PM

he has ben a dead man walking since he took over the leadership. Everyone knew it

Letter to the DT
 
SIR – Humza Yousaf’s miscalculation in ending the SNP’s power-sharing deal
with the Greens would be remarkable were it not so unsurprising. His lack of
political nous has been obvious for some time.

He described the defection of Ash Regan, the former SNP MSP, to the Alba Party
as “no great loss”. Now that she could decide his fate, she must ensure that
she is not “bought off”. Her revenge would benefit everyone in Scotland.

arista 27-04-2024 01:30 PM

Yes LT
but he now says he will work with Ash Regan
or any others from the Alba Party

On new news reports

the vote is meaningless as it has no constitutional weight. Also he could promise the world, but just how exactly is he going to deliver anything :laugh
