But that will change, because parties that get elected start to attract candidates who're only in it for the power and the money.They're getting more not less popular because frankly they're a better government."It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis0 -

Indeed - what they definitely won't do (for example) is override the interest of a local population in allowing an American billionaire to build a golf course over a site of scientific special interest.
The SNP would never do that, ever.0 -
Westminster parties do, right enough. Will the power-hungry find Holyrood big enough? I'm betting not and that's why they're getting the better quality politicos.

A cracking argument. They must have done pretty good at pretty much everything else for everyone to igniore this Trump-related stuff. :beer:Really? What kind of argument for Holyrood is this? It doesn't matter what shenanigans Scottish politicians get up to because no one cares?

The second-rate power-hungry will. And English selection committees might be less keen to select Scottish carpet-baggers who move south just to get into English politics.Westminster parties do, right enough.

They already do; shame is then they're up against the SNP's A- team. And we've all seen how well that's going for them!:rotfl:There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

The SNP have an overwhelming majority of 1 seat at the moment.
There are some really obvious reasons for their electoral success:
The Tories in Scotland are unelectable.
People are fed up of Labour after the Blair years, and all the big-hitting Scottish Labour politicians are in Westminster for some reason.
The SNP don't actually do anything, apart from give out a few 'freebies' of questionable affordability. It's easy to be a party of government when all you have to do is spend money while other people collect the taxes.0 -
