There ain't much coverage of it on mainstream media but the due date is the 7th may, the same day as English local elections. however it's been reported today that John Swine(ee) is skipping tomorrow's leaders debate, with a lame excuse about no female leaders. surely that's an issue for leadership elections, not leadership debate! The voters don't only need to know about policies, they also need to know who they are electing as FM and as (Swine(ee)) hasn't been elected in National poll before, I think he has a cheek skipping the debate.
Of course, I am wondering why he is skipping and if it's anything to do with him fitting me up or gaining power through blackmail coercion?
Back in 2020 the Tories amended the Scottish election act to increase the duration between elections from 4 to 5 years, effectively giving them an extra year (should they lose). What also interests me is that they added a clause where the election can be extended by a further month.
However with further scrutiny it seems they can't just say damn, looks like we're going to lose, lets extend it by another month, no, there needs to be what's called an extra ordinary reason and the example given is if the fm (Swine(ee)) resigns or is forced out in a vote of no confidence, the extra month can be allowed to elect a new (male or female) leader!
At the moment, it is all supposition but Swine(ee) swerving the leaders debate has certainly made me suspicious.
