I'm not from Scotland, but even I know that Alberta must be pretty far from the Lothians.People outside of Scotland will need to know that Banff isn’t near the Lothians.
In passing, I'm fascinated by how much more popular/less unpopular Starmer is than the Labour Party. That seems weird to me, what have Scottish Labour managed to do to make the rest of the party more offputting than Starmer?And a comparison of favourability ratings:
there's a similar gap between the party and the leader in the rest of the UK iircIn passing, I'm fascinated by how much more popular/less unpopular Starmer is than the Labour Party.

Maybe he’s just not been in the limelight long enough to really piss people off.I'm not from Scotland, but even I know that Alberta must be pretty far from the Lothians.

'Blokes will be blokes' is a remark i've heard from a woman on the left. Not saying she's typical but.. sexual politics seems complicated.
They are saying it because it is true. The sleepy cuddles party is not going to take votes from Lab, Con or the LDs. It does have some potential to damage the SNP (and possibly the Greens)."The likes of the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats will no doubt have watched Mr Salmond's announcement with popcorn in hand, hoping it will put a dent in the SNP's electoral juggernaut".
Though looks as if Salmond's hoovering the shit out of the SNP which might be a good thing. Has the terf Cherry signed up yet?
I see Alba are hoovering up the wankers.Neale Hanvey MP (Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath) has defected to Alba.
Is this going to get ukip-y with various splitter parties ?I see Alba are hoovering up the wankers.
Don’t know. I mean, my feeling is still that this is the Change UK Mark II, that it won’t poll enough in all regions to hit the threshold, that Salmond himself may get through if he’s top of Alba’s NE list, but that the quality of people being attracted as candidates will overall be off putting.Is this going to get ukip-y with various splitter parties ?
Well, if you look at the Alba Party website, it tells you.
Alba party officials have been left red-faced after the Scottish version of its domain name was hijacked within hours of Alex Salmond firing the starting gun on its Holyrood election bid.
While the official Albaparty.org adress has been promoted as the party's website, the version using a '.Scot' domain has been commandeered on behalf of another party.
Searching for Albaparty.scot will take internet users directly to the website of the SNP - SNP.org.

I'm not sure there will be so many tbh but let's see.He’ll be needing a big hoover. And therein lies the reality of the psychodrama: there is no serious alternative from Alba to the SNP strategy to deliver independence save for a some calls for performative action (which are deliberately magnified to justify the vicious nature of the split) or any serious policy differences between the two camps about the political economy of an independent Scotland. Instead we have a popularity contest between two personality cults. Odd that so many are being swept along with it all
I’m not sure many are/will be.Odd that so many are being swept along with it all
I loved their Eurovision entry, "Culloden".I hope everyone learns how to pronounce Alba properly, for the short period this party exists. It’s going to be a home for angry wee misogynists, but they can at learn learn how to say it right.
100%, plus a few more per cents chucked in. Though I suppose the behaviour they exhibit guarantees they are not the kind of person who will ever be embarrassed or can conceive of politics as anything other than personal power and advantage. 'Alpha Males', yuck.Salmond reminds me of George Galloway. Someone who fails to realise they should be embarrassed by their behaviour and just fuck off out of public life.
