The fact of the matter is that Sturgron is way out her depth. She is certainly not in control and will never be. Her mouth is her saviour and that is all about independence and relies on the media and the gullible not to question her ability.. Her team are absolute amateurs being led by an activist that has no clue how to govern. Scotland will always be on the back foot whilst she and SNP are in power. A very good article but unfortunately falls on deaf ears across Scotland the Scottish TV and the majority of the media. We can all live in hope that people wake up to these fraudsters.
Absolutely outstanding, Stephen - hitting a boxful of nails on the head.
I have said for long that the SNP is not a governing party. It is an agit prop campaigning party. Its biggest enterprise is its mammoth propaganda department. It seems to think that propaganda - which is invariably based on lies and distortions - is what will win it the support it needs, whereas you are correct in saying that good governance would have been much more effective. Perhaps pro-U.K. people have dodged a bullet - the SNP’s incompetence has protected us.
Excellent article. With such an abysmal record the unionist politicians in Westminster really should be highlighting each scandal on the floor of the House of Commons - including the Gupta one which Stephen doesn’t mention. Instead, they let Blackford, and the mediocrities around him, castigate the UK government day by day. It’s time for some two-way traffic both as a means of highlighting the poor Holyrood performance and to prepare the way for more of the Westminster funding bypassing Sturgeon’s grip.
Excellent article, Stephen. I voted No in 2014 because the white paper, Scotland’s Future, simply didn’t convince me of the merits of independence. Eight years on I wouldn’t support it under any circumstances because of the incompetence, nastiness and division wrought on the country I love by a bunch of political dwarves led by a woman who can’t even support her own sex. The sooner we see the back of her and her cult the brighter will be Scotland’s proper future. 🏴🇬🇧
I agree with this article and the arguement that the snp are a protest movement and not a government. As a protest movement they have gained power but without any real talent at any level. Most people in scotland have no idea who there snp MP or MSP or councillor is and thats because they are mostly dull and not very clever people who have no idea what governing is all about. Its a highly centralised movement that brooks no disent from the narrow party line.
They have proved the premise that they cannot govern but the truth is or the irony is if they had they would have achieved wide spread support and reached their goal
Absolutely, the SNP are not interested in governing and for that reason they have been, are and forever shall be incompetent at that.
However, I think the reason they are bad at governing is because it doesn't matter haw badly things are run, their core vote doesn't shift, so they keep winning election after election; indeed the worse things get, the better for te SNP. There is just no incentive for them to do things differently.
There was an interesting article on UnHerd about South Africa yesterday; as I was reading it I though that it could well be describing Scotland in a few years' time.
Yes, this pretty much sums up the SNP, again! The key point I think is if the past 15 years are anything to go by, then as Stephen says, why would anyone think their record in government would commit you to trusting them in running an independent Scotland?
Why does Daisley never write on a something that challenges Tories properly to really think. Liz Truss is going to be the leader of the UK and the Tory party. A laughing stock followed by a dead eyed stooge of the extreme right. This is Great Britain now.
Where the SNP govern on a devolved matter they generally do it very well, outdoing Tory England on most measures which are fully devolved with some ease. This article repeats the same old bought and paid for Daily Mail journalism… what a bore. When the Tories have degenerated so, so much of what England used to be into a shadow of its formal self, I think Stephen should turn his attention to the conduct and record of his masters instead.

Very good. Can’t argue with any of that.
It would be interesting to read a coherent counter-argument but I expect we will get the usual hysteria.

Thank you Stephen ,you seem to be the only voice of the media let's hope Snp are finished before Scotland is !😁

Great factual observation thanks for your time and effort producing this article
