John Swinney would be a likely better choice if they want to be sure of the Green party's support.

Kate Forbes is not cared much for by the Green's for some of her views.

Swinney is a continuity choice so would be a disaster for the SNP

Trans rights and LGBT issues
As deputy first minister, Mr Swinney voted for the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which would have allowed children as young as 16 to apply to legally change their gender without any accompanying medical evidence.

He is a net zero nutcase that backed the deposit return scheme that crashed a burned and cost the Scottish taxpayer £171,000,000

Hate crime laws
Mr Swinney voted for the Scottish hate crime legislation, along with his SNP colleagues, back in 2021.

He is too scared to say what a woman is

Kate Forbes is the only choice they have but they are a busted flush in general as a party

its over

[bots]

the greens will support the new leader if they get their way on the green policy, so, that will be it until the scheduled election if Swinney becomes leader

It's not that devolved Scotland has been run well but any buffer between people and the London-centric nature of the UK government is a positive. They do not give a stuff about anywhere north of Cambridge.

It is a separate country with the island of Great Britain, the other 2 countries being Wales and England.

Of course it is.

I just wondered why you were sharing anti-devolution posts.

Because this thread is about Scottish Politics and the total failure of the SNP has put the question of the merits of devolution back on the table for discussion
