It’s also true he’s on a student visa that’s restricted to working part time hours - irrelevant of what statements the Green Party put out, which are all worthless especially now that Q seems to have started a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds so he can apply for a new visa. Funnily enough he’s going cap in hand to the white people he would post about not liking in social media. I didn’t know he was a list candidate, that only proves more to me the green party are just absolutely bonkers. I actually can’t believe how terrible our politics are these days. COYP Reply |

Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 11th May 2026. 13:46 Funnily enough there is outrage about this but nothing about Malcolm Offord finishing 3rd, yes THIRD, in his constituency vote and still getting a seat……. The Scottish elections are a farce for this reason alone. Meanwhile the Unionist news outlets whip up that its been a “disaster” for the SNP as they didn’t win a majority when the system is designed to stop them doing so. Reply |
| 43. Author: Wotsit Date: Mon 11th May 2026. 14:26 Trying to paint a party getting more than triple the elected members of their nearest rivals, after two decades in power, as anything other than a triumph is just sour grapes from the unionist parties. They would all sell their grannies to be in the SNP`s position. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply |
| 44. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 11th May 2026. 14:50 I found it quite laughable during the election campaign that the unionist parties kept going on about how the SNP had been in control for almost two decades as if they were some totalitarian government which was not subject to the democratic process. In fact they`d won the last four elections so any criticism was effectively being directed at the voters these parties were trying to persuade to vote for them. The other remarkable thing is that this record of electoral success has been achieved in the face of continuous hostilty from the media. Reply |

Author: Tenruh Date: Mon 11th May 2026. 18:09 Dave_1885, Mon 11 May 13:46 Maree Todd a SNP candidate came third in the constituency but got elected on the list, meanwhile Fergus Ewing stood as an independent only on the constituency and lost but if he had stood on the list he would have got in.He apparently said that it was unfair on others standing on both routes. Never bothered Murdo Fraser though,he`s stood on the constituency 7 times and lost and 7 times on the list and never failed to get in.Think the term for that is a carpet-bagger. Lastly Angus Robertson lost his constituency seat but was 3rd on the list behind 2 other SNP candidates which has raised eyebrows as to why he didn`t head the SNP candidates.
