Scotland deserves better than this circus

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : Whether centrally controlling their parties, marginalising critical voices, or announcing policies they have no intention of actually implementing for fleeting traction in the press, the idea that one of these political shitshows has a moral high ground above the other is utterly laughable.
65% : Their campaign has involved walking the classic centrist tightrope of promising action to the poorest on poverty, while keeping the middle-class happy with the sort of perks that only entrench the inequality.
63% : The SNP wants us to believe two contradictory ideas at the same time: that Brexit is harmful to Scotland and that Independence won't be (I'm all for indy, but I'm also realistic about the challenges it will bring).
59% : Namely, the volatile constitutional issues of Brexit and Independence in which they are now, in their own ways, enmeshed, yet forbidden by electoral imperative from speaking honestly about.
47% : Starmer, Sarwar and the rest of them must pretend Brexit is settled and that the shambles of leaving the EU in the hardest possible fashion has had little bearing on the UK's dire economic fortunes -- even though they understand only too well that such a tumultuous exit from the Single Market has made the very people who voted for it poorer.
46% : We had Loudon, a South Lanarkshire councillor since 2017, pressing Shanks on his change of heart over Brexit and the two-child cap, which places not only him but Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar out of step with Keir Starmer.
45% : This, from the same Labour Party that simultaneously lambasts the SNP for failing to reform local taxation after 16 years in government.
39% : And she accused Labour of flip-flopping on its commitments, which might have landed more powerfully if only her party, in government now for longer than the Tories, were not also serial flip-floppers.
