It's a country wide version of PMQ's - pointless rhetoric and jeering.
I can only hope that Scotland is sheltered from a lot of it by devolution as the SNP have at least proven themselves to be competent in day to day politics here.
Honestly I'm thinking back to the referendum and, whilst it certainly got a little messy in the final days, the campaigns (both yay and nay) were nothing like this garbage. People were really engaged and excited politically and actually discussing politics. All we're getting with this election campaign is back and forth mocking and insults and ad homonym attacks on the various leaders, or what they sound like or look like. Meh.

People are voting for Farage - no doubt a proficient orator - because he blares a convincing trumpet.
The majority of the party's potential MPs are oozing pustule covered troglodytes.
