Cable Forum - View Single Post - SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash

I imagine at this point, Swinney’s blindly assuming that the threat of a Scotland Office-led inquiry is grist to the nat grievance mill, but he needs to be a bit careful. The SNP garnered about a third of the votes the other week and is sitting on a plurality because of a quirk of the system (a quirk designed to keep Labour in power, to be fair). There’s no reason to believe public opinion will rally to his cause if it looks like an SNP first minister is refusing to have the SNP-led Parliament investigate a scandal that taints a former SNP chief executive, a former SNP first minster and other members of a former SNP cabinet in which Swinney himself served.
