The SNP faces an 'existential crisis' amid Peter Murrell investigation
"After 25 years of devolution, we look like something of a laughing stock."
Holyrood has been 'weakened' by the SNP's 'death spiral' says Alex Bell, former head of policy to Alex Salmond

This interviewee makes a good point. Nothing stops Sturgeon from stating her innocence at the very least. But, it was so aggravating to hear the press, when she came out to talk to them on the doorstep, asking the dumbest questions possible, knowing what the answer would be, “I can’t comment; ongoing investigation; blah, blah.” WHY didn’t ANY of them simply ask, “Is your husband innocent?” THAT was the question that doesn’t conflict with any confidentiality, or compromise any investigation that she could not have avoided answering! At least, not without appearing guilty as sin herself?

The SNP are not the Party of all Scots. They maybe the Party elected to power through the voting system here in Scotland, but in recent times they have never has any more than 32% of the Scottish electorate vote for them. That is sufficient to take them to devolved power with the support of the Greens as long as over 30% of the electorate do not cast a vote at all. The SNP and the Greens together have a majority of those who do use their vote. That is the system, that is democracy but do not under any circumstances believe that the SNP/Green alliance speak for the Scottish nation, together they attract 34% of voters.

£600k wouldn't be anywhere near enough for the shortfall they claim the UK Govt owes them. That shortfall was due to poor management of funds, wasted on campaigns and ideas which did not service needs, paying for 100's of 1000's of leaflets but not buying school books for kids or painting rainbows on hospitals but not paying creche places for nurses kids. This is where the shortfall in Scotland came from and why Wales and N.Ireland don't have this issue, they didn't waste the money it was put directly into the services. Scotland SNP on the other hand have a long running desire to be independent so they took Westminster funding and used it to create propaganda in the places it was supposed to help the Scots live better. Blaming UK for long wait times, or high prices or poor services all the while the very literature or broadcast being read or viewed, was paid for by funds for those services sent by Westminster to help them in stopping being reportedly affected. The SNP have misused (misappropriated) funds from central govt for political ends nit to help the people of Scotland. Scots bought into this. As would anyone else. Sitting in a waiting room for hours after months of waiting with a leaflet facing upu or poster saying, "your wait is because of UKGovt refusal to support you" will make you hate Britishness and the Westminster Govt. It was all a way to "create" loyal SNP voters by making people suffer so that your propaganda media campaigns meant something could be done to reverse it. Of course nothing would be done, because the SNP tell you independence is how you fix it. This is a lie. Independence means more hardship for the people but greater power for the leadership. Less funding for the services needed but an ever increasing need for them. SNP knew this sturgeon knew this and that is the worst fraud they commited. Before the SNP were in power the Barnet formula provided money which was spent on services and people managed perfectly well at least better than they do today under the SNP. FREE prescriptions FOR ALL is not a thing anywhere else in the UK, this costs a massive amount of money, FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL again costs a fortune. These socialist things in Scotland are proof that socialism cannot function how it claims it can. The financial burden is too great on the system to raise funds to pay for it, AKA "living beyond your means". The SNP are proof positive that power breeds greed and criminal behaviour especially in the socialist realm of political personages. Nigerian Communist President in the 1990's Sani Abacha stole billions of public money. Peru’s Alberto Fujimori in the 1990's stole over $600m Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli in 2018 stood trial for embezzlement and abuse of authority amongst other things. This list goes on an on. Socialist/communist leaderships are fraught with corruption, and criminality. It is as common as muck that almost every Communist Socialist Liberal call them what you want they ain't conservative, republican, right of centre political groups. Once you step to the left of politics you start down a path of illegality, corruption, deceit and criminality which is only protected at the top and those the top see fit to ensure face no punishments such as death squads in the stasi or impunity cases closed as in Guatemala by the UN which the now president Jimmy Morales threw the UN law and ruling out when he himself came under investigation for corruption. Like I say socialists/communist govts always become corrupt. It is a fact provable by just looking at every political state that had communist/socialist/liberal govts they ultimately turn to crime, fraud and cronyism. The SNP are no different.

Legal votes in a democratic country should be upheld. The independence vote favoured staying in the union, and the Brexit vote favoured leaving the EU. How can any government do the best for the people and democracy if you have backstabbers damaging the process at every single step. Sturgeon had no plans whatsoever other than doing precisely the opposite to the Westminster government, with the remainers having the odd stab as well. In Sturgeons case, she definitely harmed negotiations with the EU, which could have bettered not only the UK, but Scotland as well. You've all been watching the events of the last few days, and have seen the calibre of people in favour of independence. Scotland deserves a change. Enough is Enough!

She speared Truss, Johnson, May, Cameron, the Westminster Toaries. Stuck the knife in and smiled while she twisted it to gut them. Now she expects sympathy for herself and Murrell.

She sounds like Megan Merkle asking for privacy, will we have a world tour?
Nothing more satisfying than watching this SNP meltdown. People should get the jail for this corruption, neglect and incompetence. None of these SNP people deserve or should expect privacy. The are or were public servants. They were voted in on a lie. Lock her up.
follow the money ...god help us 😵💫

Sturgeon was only interested in going down in history as the person to gain Scottish independence at any cost. Queen of Scotland. The SNP could never answer any questions regarding how they were to run the country re currency, borders, import export tax, loss of tax revenues from the rest of the UK etc. etc. And best of all wanting to rejoin the EU now that independence 🤣🤣🤣
She had to pay a fine of £1 every time she mentioned independence I’ve heard. So she took the money out of their account to cover it after she mortgaged the house.

Devolution has been washed down the drain by SNP and that their voters haven't held them to account is shameful. SNP have split Scotland down the middle and if we don't put independence to bed for a long while it will end in disaster with the country becoming an open sore which never heals.
The SNP now yesterdays party. It's all over now
Always thought the SNP smelled a bit fishy.

Can someone please explain the difference between a crisis and an existential crisis.

When the rate of change of the crisis is proportional to the crisis, that's an existential crisis.

A crisis is recoverable. An existential crisis is not. Breaking a leg is a crisis. An anvil dropping on your head from 20,000 ft is an existential crisis.

Existential crisis means to question the purpose of one's existence and the very meaning of life. A crisis is just a difficult time.

Crisis = this is difficult and urgent but it doesn’t threaten our very existence Existential crisis = this is difficult and urgent and we may never recover In theory “existential” should mean that the crisis is a threat to your very existence, but in this case it might mean that it is a threat not to the existence if the SNP itself, but to the cause of independence for a very longtime, possibly forever. The example the SNP dread most is that of the Parti Québécois in Canada - came very close to independence twice but have since just faded away, still a force in the local politics of Quebec but actual statehood independence is no longer an issue.

@@davidpaterson2309 I would have answered like you that it is an external threat to the existence of something or someone. However, I looked it up and the term has a very specific meaning in psychology. It is a crisis in one's life when the very meaning of life is questioned by the patient. In this case the SNP are questioning their very purpose, having failed to get independence, failed in general government and have losed support and membership. A bit like saying, 'what is the point of us?'.
😂😂😂😂bye bye SNP what an utter corrupt party they all are
My goodness where is the money. Does someone have privileged information that there will a monetary crash within the near future. Is it possible these individuals are purchasing gold and silver only to weather a depression and return so privileged as to believe their flatulence would be equal to that of a boquet of roses.

If they are guilty....and we don’t know for certain yet.....then they have totally wrecked not only their own lives but the aspirations of all who followed them. I don’t like the SNP but given how Westminster has governed for 50 years I can understand why independence seemed attractive.
These "difficulties" couldn't happen to a more deserving group of so called "leaders".
Holyrood faces an existential threat. It was coming a few years ago, the pandemic put it on hold.
SNP Death Spiral is a great name for a death metal band.
This is a very insightful interview. PR has overruled hard headed policy, and the real material stuff. For Scottish independence to survive it must deal head on with the questions AND answers of full independence.
Things are much more expensive nowadays, she needed that money.
Now I know where my money is going with all that extra tax
She knows more she probably complicit the SNP goverment are finished

I might have stayed with SNP if Kate Forbes became First Minister (let’s face it, that was never going to happen, probably fixed votes). I won’t be voting them now though, although what political party is NOT dodgy af!? ‘Dropping’ people for who they vote isn’t ideal though.
