Is The Snp Approach To Politics Becoming Like Thatcher Was To Scotland

[gordiescotland1]

Margaret Thatchers leadership and negative attitudes towards Scotland was toxic but are the SNP not being similar with its dogmatic arrogant approach to Brexit and using indyref2 as a threat are they not alienating people in Scotland the way Thatcher did

I'm surprised Nicola is still at the helm.

[murraymints]

Nicola is the real problem..the daggers are drawn though..only time

[waterboatman]

THAT surprises me not at all minty.

[waterboatman]

Time to make a move. Have a happy day everyone. xxxxx

[Old_Geezer]

You’ve been saying that for sometime now, but naebodys chibbed her so maybe your wrong

[douglas9401]

It is a wee bit surprising that a challenge hasn't come from the charismatic wing of the party.
Angela Constance maybe, or Mr Swinney could have another go. :-)

She's all they've got since Jowly Eck became a media darling.

[jno]

didn't Scots vote against Brexit? If so, she's representing them.

[murraymints]

steg.. only time...

[murraymints]

Swinney might ?

[youngmafbog]

but jno the argument you always use in England is that those that lost need representation too !

[youngmafbog]

gordie, I must admit I am unsure of the way Scottish politics lie at ground level but surely there must be a large number of people supporting her or she wouldnt be in the position she is?

[steg]

///steg.. only time...///
Aye, you need the tick tho, not just the talk

[youngmafbog]

For most 'democratic' leaders it is only a matter of time!

[jno]

and you think the opposite, ymb...

But the Remain vote in Scotland was 62%; in England it was 53.4%.

Personally, I always thought that for a constitutional vote of this significance, the threshold should have been 60-65% - in other words, there needed to be a big margin in favour of a change that would cause great upheaval. The Scots recorded one.

[anneasquith]

MM must have insider information we don't have . :-)

[youngmafbog]

But I didnt write it down as an argument.

[murraymints]

and..maybe I do Anne ?

[steg]

We won’t have long to find out Anne

///she is teetering on the edge here now...I doubt that she will still be FM this time next year..daggers are being drawn behind closed doors I suspect...///
