The Party nosedived after the GE of 2015 when Sturgeon turned her face away from the electorates’ instruction to notify the Unionists that the 1707 Treaty of Union was ending. Her decision to ignore the strongest mandate for independence ever handed to politicians in preference for retaining and indeed strengthening the Union was unforgivable but not unexpected since she did her best to scupper the 2014 independence campaign with her lacklustre leadership.
Her commitment to the SNP and the successful policies established under the leadership of Alex Salmond was always suspect and she confirmed this by dismantling the organisational structure of the Party replacing it with one reminiscent of the East German government with all power centred on herself and her trusted clique of similarly minded LGBTQ activists.
She then set about recruiting candidates for office in the 2015 GE personally restricting recruitment to those that fit the LGBTQ profile. Many who benefitted from her largess were wholly unfit for public office. She entertained her chums and presided over any modern electorate’s biggest financial rip-off.
Furthering her dream of taking LGBTQ ideals to the forefront of Scottish society she top-sliced many millions transferring to herself control of the allocation and distribution of large amounts of finance to recently formed LGBTQ organisations many of which claimed dubious charitable status
She further strengthened her position by adding Green MSPs supported by less than 2% of Scots to the Scottish Government, elevating some of them to ministerial office. Evidenced by their performance these Green champions were quite mad and damaged the SNP to the extent that the electorate questioned the fitness of the SNP for continued governance of the country.
The SNP is headed for oblivion in the 2024 GE and the 2026 Scottish elections but might yet be saved from oblivion with the wholesale abandonment of the Sturgeonista’s disastrous policies returning to the political agenda that persuaded Scots to support the Party when it was led by Alex Salmond.
The opportunistic posturing votes of no-confidence by the opposition parties at Holyrood will most likely fail and any fallout will be minor and temporary with Yousaf gaining confidence that his way is succeeding but this would be a false dawn to be fully exposed by the outcome of the 2024 GE in which the SNP might be decimated returning MPs in single figures.
