Given the turmoil in both parties (and the Trump sh*tshow) if 28% for Reform and 20% for Conservatives is accurate it says more about voters than anything else.
But we’re still more than 4 years from a General Election so not panicking …. yet.

Private schools in Scotland isn’t only about education .. from what I’ve seen it’s a lifelong “club” where they feather their, and each others, nest.
Should they pay VAT? … of course they should. Personally I would remove charitable status as well. If they all disappear, fine with me.

Would deliver “a more representative government” … definitely - “that works for everyone” … not so sure about that.
More likely to deliver (potentially) unstable coalition’s where that smaller party get more than they should for keeping their larger “partner” in power.
definitely.works

We have to accept that traditionally 25-30% of the electorate in Scotland vote for right-wing parties .. whether this was/is Tory, UKIP or Reform.
Personally I hope Reform win MSP seats .. getting the racists/fascists to break cover is half the battle. “Concept of a plan” won’t work here.

Buyers (voters) remorse hasn’t kicked in yet … maybe it never will.

The UK voters don’t get it right as often as I would like e.g. 2010, 2014 (Scotland only), 2015, 2016 & 2019.
Imagine how unbearable a Tory government would be with Trump getting in - definitely the 51st state. Are Labour perfect - DEFINITELY NO - but I’m counting my blessings.
