Tories switching almost wholesale to Reform is a sad sight. Have they no self respect?
That would require them not being sociopaths.

I'm gonna call this out. Voting Tory is not a mental illness and language like this both dimishes those who do have a diagnosis, and alientates those who do vote Tory. In an era of increasingly polarised politics my initial comments are likely inflammatory, so I'm not without blame. But sociopath crosses a line for me.
Reform are coming, we have to learn to head off this radicalism instead of inflaming it. Political satire is sorely lacking in Scotland to address this imo. The lead by donkies crowd and Jonathan Pie are great examples of the content I'd love to see focussed on Scottish politics. We have... Breaking the News. Which is good, but very safe due to the BBC. No Spitting Image, or Yes Minister, or even The Thick of It for Scotland. STV missing a trick here
Fair dues pal. Though I would personally class oligarch-level greed and far right christo-fascist racism as a mental illness, I take your point.
Interesting that Reform and indi support is up. Seems contradictory to me
Less fence sitters I suppose. Reform is likely a gift for the indy minded, who wants to be shackled to turbo thatcherites?
who wants to be shackled to turbo thatcherites?
Apparently around 14% of voters
Surely Alba’s next logical step is to merge into Reform.
Reform have said they'd both abolish Holyrood and sit on the fence in an indy vote. A very confusing Scottish message
