People seem to like him but I have no idea why. He does all the usual things, rents his office from himself at an inflated rate, employs family etc. As you say his main topic of conversation is himself.

If only there was some way to figure out what his view on independence is.

So basically, the modern take on 'playing the Trump card'.

Very much so. You watch him and the parallels of self-aggrandisement are there. "I won a seat when Labour lost all the others." (Admittedly true, he did, but boy does he bang on about it!) "No one won seats as well as me." Even "They didn't listen to me. If they'd listened to me ..." I didn't know about the jobs for his family, but that also fits.

Not quite the same thing, but this has me thinking of the quote from the Cleveland Show, when Cleveland Brown decides to change the outcome of a US civil war battle reenactment.

If only there were some way to know what happens next, in this reenactment of an actual historic battle!


(Quote is as best as I can remember it.)

It’s the regional list results I’m mostly interested in, see how many fucking idiots did #bothvotesSNP and filled parliament with Tories.

Yes, the result for Alba was decidedly disappointing. Interesting, at the other end of the spectrum, when Nigel Farage (who strangely is as passionate about preserving the United Kingdom as he is about attacking the European Union, but there you are), fell out with UKIP and set up his own party, he got supporters to desert UKIP and join his new Brexit Party en masse. UKIP is still around, but pretty much an irrelevance - while Farage had the political sense to rebrand the Brexit Party as the Reform Party and accept that not only is Brexit done but the Tories have become its champions, UKIP has become, sort of, the cousin of AfD and Marine Le Pen's rebranded party (whose name I've briefly forgotten). And with Priti Patel as anti-immigrant as she is - refugees only to be treated as refugees if they come through the official gates, which she keeps firmly locked - even that mantle has been taken over by the Tories. While Farage keeps his political activity simmering while trying to go back to being a financier.

So the question is: how come Alba was not able to dent the SNP in the same way? And what future for a) Alex Salmond and b) the independence cause now?
