Sturgeon leaves a deeply divided SNP at a low water mark for Independence with her Tamany Hall approach to politics and a refusal to build an alliance with the wider independence movement.ContrifibulatoryFred wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 9:18 am Reluctant as I am to wade into Scottish politics, I can't help feeling that Sturgeon's departure represents a high watermark in Scottish independence aspirations and that the Labour Party are going to massively clean up in Scotland during the next General Election.
Her "progressive" rhetoric was never matched by deeds and she tried to deliver using a neo liberal economic framework. Never attempting to challenge real power in Scotland or deliver to the working class.
Labour continue to be an embarrassing shambles in Scotland and Kieth Starmers recent coup in alliance with the Red Tories isn't going to lead to them "cleaning up". They may gain up to 12 seats on a wave of anti Tory/SNP disgust.
As a self proclaimed "socialist" Hamza faces a difficult task uniting a deeply divided party. A significant section of which are really devolutionists these days as their snouts are so deep in the trough of govt jobs hand outs, grants etc that they can't see independence through a soup of gravy.
