I do think Christians in politics are subject to a lot more scrutiny over their faith than members of other religions

It was a big problem for Tim Farron as leader of the Lib Dems as well

scary

Under that new Bill he implemented I thought you couldn't talk about race :laugh:

It is not a level playing field when it comes be religion, some beliefs are more tolerated than others even though they will hold the same views on many issues like same sex marriage for instance

I wouldn't mind the SNP being tanked, if it would mean Labour gaining something of a majority is more likely.

the leftists made up a word "islamophobia" to shut down any debate about that awful religion

Christianity does not have such a word so anyone can attack it

Three candidates will take part in the contest to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader and first minister.

MSPs Kate Forbes, Ash Regan and Humza Yousaf had all met the threshold for nominations by the noon deadline.

The ballot of SNP members, which will use a single transferrable vote system, opens on 13 March and the winner will be announced on 27 March.

a poll published on Friday suggested Ms Forbes was the most popular candidate among SNP voters.

The survey of 1,001 people who voted for the party at the last Scottish Parliament election, carried out by communications agency The Big Partnership between Monday and Wednesday, found 28% favoured Ms Forbes as the next leader, against 20% for Mr Yousaf and 7% for Ms Regan. About a third were undecided.

Oh now I see why there is a campaign against her, they want Mr Yousaf in....

in a nutshell, yes, it's all bollocks

all the Women can have a penis snp nutters are backing humza and he pretends to think like them

They're letting a Muslim fight the trans corner. Is it because of their record of acceptance and inclusivity?

To be fair, Iran funds sex change operarions...

you cant change your sex

Is this really the best the SNP can offer as leader now

Why has it come to the point where just about every Party now ends up with terrible leaders.
Including my own Party, Labour who has a terrible dismal one too.

No wonder politics and Nations are in a mess across the UK.
Kate Forbes though in my view is just likely going to bring endless controversy to the SNP.

The SNP would be better off with a leader brave enough in 2023 to state a transwoman is a biological male who identifies as a woman than a Weasel traitor woman who would send a rapist into a woman's prison for Twitter likes and to appease a tiny vocal minority of crazies

I don't even see that as a particularly contentious view, even most (of the non-crazy) transwomen will acknowledge they're biologically male.
