I apologise if my comment is not as articulate as some but I don’t think religion should play any part in politics. Unfortunately some use it as ammunition. Too many in politics play at being religious when it suits them. Kate Forbes has stated that if elected she will represent all Scots. I believe her. I’m an atheist. Have children out of wedlock. I certainly don’t think she called my children bastards. That’s a bit extreme. She stood in for Derek McKay at a moments notice and has done very well. I assume Humza has Nicola’s backing although she hasn’t stated it. I don’t feel he has the strength or intelligence to debate with Westminster. Having spent last 9 years waiting for another referendum, I don’t feel he is the man to deliver it. He talks a lot but I’m not convinced. Seriously worried that Independence will be left on back burner again. Kate is a Finance person. Her plan for business growth and bringing employment sounds pretty good. With or without Independence we need someone who will bring Scotland out of poverty. Fight for tax raising powers. Hopefully our next First Minister can do that.

Not sure but Jenny Gilruth might be popular choice. What do you think?
