I’m sincerely unaware of any policy put forward by the other parties in Scotland. All they trot out is “get on with the day job” yet, in their day jobs, offer no alternative vision.

13 years in, the performance of schools and the management of hospital projects are, in particular, giving cause for concern, so there's two failures straight away in their so called policies for a better Scotland, as for your continued comments about the "orange" vote, where are you coming from with that comment? Are you trying to bring religion into this? I'm pretty sure all of the Scottish voters who voted No in the last referendum were not "orange" lol....

I’m not trying to bring religion into it, however it’s important to consider demographic trends when considering the direction of travel.

Scottish Labour and the Scottish Conservatives fighting over the same voter base by waving their Union Flags the hardest is fundamentally no different from two bald men fighting over a comb.

You’ve claimed two sets of failures yet none of the opposition parties are able to lay a glove on the SNP on the basis of either of them. They’ve no proposals to fix these claimed issues. There’s just the same old tired rhetoric that has lost the last 3 Holyrood elections and will likely lose the next one.

The SNP is facing accusations of hypocrisy and poor taste for selling face masks in support of the party and independence in the week Nicola Sturgeon accused Boris Johnson of politicising the pandemic.

Last week the first minster castigated Johnson when he said the UK government’s response to the Covid crisis underlined the economic benefits of Scotland remaining in the Union.

Sturgeon said: “I don’t think any of us should be trying to use Covid and the pandemic and the crisis situation we continue to face as some kind of political campaigning tool.”

It emerged yesterday that her party is fundraising with SNP-branded face coverings, costing £8 to £14. The range includes a mask with a “Yes” logo, signifying support for independence..

Political party sells tat for fundraising. It’s not new, or unique to the SNP. If that’s the worst you have on them then I look forward to them steamrollering through next year.
