Not “Rocking the boat” will pretty much guarantee an SNP majority at the next Holyrood election. Vastly underrated skill.
There needs to be an influx of forward thinkers within that party.The current incumbents are in the comfy zone,happy to just manage the current setup,without rocking the boat. It's unfortunate that they are still the only possible option of independence, even when I feel they don't really want that.

Lots of support for our brilliant candidate, @monicalennon.bsky.social, in Rutherglen this morning.
After almost 20 years of SNP failure, people here are ready for a fresh start - only Scottish Labour can beat them.
It’s time to choose delivery over division and decline. 🌹🏴❤️

After an incredible Welsh poll we now project First Ministers from Nationalist parties in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Nationalists in Wales even win a majority in over 20% of our simulations!
This happens 99% of the time in Scotland, and 0% in Northern Ireland.

Excellent, you're in one of the constituencies likely to go to SNP (at last!), especially if Deform UK takes a chunk out of the Tories vote
Use the D'Hondt system against itself, any Indy party List vote other than SNP will boost Indy representation at Holyrood but Scottish Greens have biggest base

So very sad to learn of the passing of Jeane Freeman. My deepest condolences to Susan and Jeane's family, friends and colleagues. I was privileged to work with Jeane outwith and in Holyrood. Professional, determined and kind, Jeane's commitment to public service was clear. She will be sadly missed.

Westminster is going to debate the petition that By-elections should be automatically called when MPs defect to another party.
It's a start I suppose, but I just have this feeling that nothing will change.
Holyrood should be the same, btw.

I don’t want to hear about calling another Independence referendum, after the Holyrood elections, it’s again, giving another opportunity for England to rig the result.
If the SNP win a majority, backed by the Greens, Independence must be declared.
