HEY! Look – over there. Conscription!
In newspaper and media newsrooms, at bus stops and cafes, around dinner tables and canteen tables, we ploughed hours and emotional energy into a non-proposal promoted by a nearly non-Prime Minister kicking off a non-winnable General Election campaign. Classic.
New, big ideas do cause a stir and get folk talking. And yet, that’s nigh on impossible for the SNP – a party that can’t become the nextAnd in the absence of a big idea, a different reality inevitably emerges. SNP candidates are not being judged on their manifesto for Westminster, views on conscription or promise of a debate on recognition of Palestine Westminster candidates are being judged on the performance of the Scottish Government and even SNP-led councils.
But we hear that Scotland’s chief civil servant thinks this would be “ultra vires” and any kind of political initiative at Holyrood is out of order during a Westminster election campaign. Jim thinks SNP MPs have brought this on themselves. “Down in London they have been parrots, taking orders from Sturgeon, Humza and Swinney, with never a word of criticism, not one step in distancing themselves from the shambles those three have created. As the old Scots saying goes ‘If you flee wi’ the craws, you get shot wi’ the craws’.”
