Blair McDougal, Notes on Nationalism...

"Salmond's resurgence is the surest sign of how big the crisis of nationalism is. Kate Forbes joining his end-of-the-pier show should kill the idea that she offers them hope."

Worth a read.

So Kate Forbes has turned down a cabinet position preferring to remain on the back benches. Offered a post she didn’t fancy or a ‘sore loser’?

Glad to hear Humza Yousaf has won the SNP leadership election! Although it’s alarming to think how close a party like the SNP came to being led by someone from the religious right. I expect there’ll be a lot of division going forward

So it looks as if Kate Forbes - in addition to her regressive conservative social views - is also vying to be the anti-green/let’s just wreck the environment candidate. What future do people like Forbes think they are creating? Even if her half-baked plans for independence were to come to fruition, what is the point if she insists on killing off the environment in which this independent Scotland is meant to thrive?

The one thing I don't hate about is actually that her candidacy focuses things a bit more away from the central belt to the and islands. I would even support Christian things like every Sunday, all shops close and work stops, hospitality workers who work Sundays get 1.5x salary

It's just unfortunate that she looks at and thinks: let's DEREGULATE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH instead of maybe banning and
