Forget the old guard, the SNP could flourish under Kate Forbes or Ash Regan ✒️ AlexSalmond for ipaperviews

has surprised everyone with her resignation. She had embarked on a plan of taking a referendum rebuff from the Supreme Court to the people in a “plebiscite election” and has now abandoned it mid-stream. This has left the SNP without a leader and without a strategy. Their coming choice will provide both, so let’s take a look at the potential candidates and their options..

Those who have gone along with the Nicola Sturgeon strategy of a futile Supreme Court bid to OK a referendum followed by a plebiscite poll, will struggle to explain how they could achieve this where Nicola failed.

Some commentators suggest that Kate Forbes’ Free Kirk faith is a barrier to leadership in the modern world. But why so? She is not asking anyone else to sign up to her church and the public might quite like a First Minister with a personal code of belief.
