[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 346919, member: 33"] One of the reasons why Nicola Sturgeon has been able to get away with poor government is because the Scottish Tories (the official opposition) are in total chaos and are totally incapable of holding her to account. As Nicola Sturgeon said [I]"Let me just reflect on the last few weeks in the life of Douglas Ross, leader - for now - of the Scottish Conservative Party. He called him Boris Johnson to resign, then he U-turned. Then he called on Boris Johnson to resign again, then he U-turned again. He demanded that I follow the mini-Budget, then he applauded Liz Truss for scrapping the mini-Budget. He voted for fracking in England, now I think he welcomes the fact that the fracking ban has been reinstated in England. Just last week or the week before he said that Liz Truss would win the next general election, and days later he welcomes the resignation of Liz Truss." [/I] She went on to say [I]"Deficits right now are created as a result of Westminster decisions and we are about to find out, later in November, the price Scotland is going to have to pay in the form of another wave of Tory austerity, probably in the form of tax rises.[B] Independence is an alternative to the economic mess that the Tories have created.[/B]"[/I] So independence is a way that Scotland can escape the damage the Conservative Party have inflicted on Scotland and the wider UK. She isn't wrong about that. [/QUOTE]
