I'd just like to live in a country that isn't ruled by a Conservative government. You shouldn't have to qualify that just because you don't want Scotland to be governed from London or by a party that hasn't won an election here in nearly 70 years doesn't mean that you have any prejudice against people from England, just a recognition that collective political culture in both countries is becoming increasingly incompatible . I think there's plenty of electoral evidence to back that up! I voted SNP on the local ballot and Green on the regional list, and pretty much got the Parliament I hoped for. A pluralistic, left-of-centre, pro-independence majority. I agree about 80% with the SNP's politics, but in some ways they're a bit too cautious and centrist for me. The Greens are more radical, particularly when it comes to climate change and challenging neoliberal policies like market deregulation, the dismantling of the welfare state by the Conservatives in Westminster, the privatisation of public services etc. . I'd say they're a 90-95% match with my own politics. Hopefully the fact that the SNP will have to rely on them to pass laws (and support for independence) will allow the Greens to get more of their lefty politics implemented and also keep the SNP on their toes, as four terms in office can start to breed complacency (or worse, cronyism/corruption) in a party. I know all the media focus was on whether or not the SNP would receive an overall majority (which they missed out on by one seat) but because of the way the system works in Scotland, this is really a false narrative, or at best a narrative with caveats that none of the news outlets were making particularly clear. If you do 'too well' in the Constituencies, then the List vote is formulated to cut back your representation so that Parliament is more 'proportional'. Basically, the SNP got more votes this year when they won 64 seats than they did in 2011 when they won 69 seats, but then, they were in a 'Goldilocks zone' where the number of constituencies they won didn't cause their regional seats to be cut down. The election was a comprehensive victory for the independence movement and the mental gymnastics being put forward by unionists to try and deny that have been pretty funny to watch. 17 hours ago, BrayWyatt said: The SNP are a bunch of nationalist cunts, an embarrassment to the country.

Graeme Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Speaking of Tory cunts... The UK home office conducted a raid on homes in the south side of Glasgow, aiming to take some immigrants to a detention centre with a view to deporting them. Hundreds of local people blockaded the street and would not allow the van containing the detainees to move. They were eventually forced to release them. Power to the people!

Hand on heart I think that for a trans teenager the most horrendous thing would be to go through puberty in the wrong body. I have concerns over whether this treatment can cause irreversible issues if the patient decides not to transition but in principle I have no issue with it. Can you imagine you were born male but identify female and you start developing male secondary sexual characteristics? I may be swayed if it turns out that this treatment causes serious irreversible damage and that a large proportion of those treated decide that they’ve made a mistake but assuming that isn’t the case I’m broadly in favour.
