Nicola Sturgeon can’t be ‘backseat driver’ of Scottish Government, next leader told
Kate ForbesThe 60-year-old party veteran, a Sturgeon ally who acted as her loyal deputy for nine years, has been urged to hand Ms Forbes a major say in policy so the party can make a clean break from the past.: “She must get real influence on decision making. There needs to be real change. We can’t have continuity with the Sturgeon era.”’s Alba Party, called the outcome a “stitch up” by the SNP “old guard” around Ms Sturgeon after Humza Yousaf’s announced he was stepping down earlier this week..
She said Mr Swinney had committed to economic growth and tackling poverty as priorities, and that the net zero transition must “work with and not against” the oil and gas industry.that Ms Forbes had been “wise” to accept a government job and allow a coronation. “John wants to utilise all the talents at his disposal,” they said.
Ipsos polling found that SNP voters favour Mr Swinney over Ms Forbes by 30 per cent to 21 per cent. However, she was favoured 26 to 20 by the wider public. Mr Swinney’s backers had argued he was more likely than Ms Forbes to win Green support in running a minority government, given their dislike of her religious views.
Speaking at his launch event in Edinburgh, Mr Swinney said he was best placed to “bring the SNP back together again” – admitting that the party was currently “not cohesive” enough to push for independence. He added: “He has been as close to Sturgeon as anyone, so it will be difficult to distance himself from what has happened in recent years.”that the soon-to-be leader could help ensure regular SNP voters turn out when they go to the polls. “Swinney is entitled to argue that he’s better placed than Forbes to stabilise the core SNP vote ahead of the ahead of the general election.”
