Humza Yousaf ~ New SNP leader

Post by Puff Daddy »

I didn't follow this contest that closely, but sort of kept tabs on it. Had I been Scottish, I would've followed it more intently. I don't know which of the three candidates would've got my vote, but he seems on the outside a decent fella and good luck to the guy. He promises independence for Scotland within 5 years, something despite all her rhetoric, Nicola Sturgeon could never quite get over the line

Well it was a very close vote which is not great for the SNP. Filling NS's enormous boots is a huge task for anyone, like/dislike her, she was certainly a leader, think the majority would agree that.

HY has a huge task in front of him to get everyone, or at least the vast majority behind him, guess time will tell for him and the SNP.

If it does go tits up then I would imagine the party that would benefit the most would be Labour.

His stand out moment for me was not a statement that he would achieve independence for Scotland but his aim to break up the United Kingdom, a subtle difference you might think but an indication to me of 'hatred'. I hope the bloke falls very flat on his face very quickly.

Here he is having a rant about white people. For context, Scotland is 96% white.



Nationalism, eh?

They're British. I am much more concerned that they are both public schools boys.

Yes, demoting the woman that had the backing of half the members and alienating them in the process shows us they really have a master strategist in charge.
