There was a time when Scottish Nationalism meant keeping the North Sea Oil profits to help Scotland. Imagine that. Now it's the Scottish Trans Demands Party. The STDP

When Cameron got in and Scottish Labour were decimated just for sharing a platform with the tories (clear woke murmurings there) there was a big push to believe Scotland was morally superior. Scottish people started posting on the Guardian CiF that Scottish people were somehow "naturally socialist" with a Scandinavian rather than British culture (this stopped suddenly when Ruth Davidson brought the Scottish tories back). It's similar to what has happened in Canada, comparing themselves to the US and classing themselves as the good guys in comparison. The politics then gets stuck on a treadmill which requires the passing of more and more kind/nice legislation to keep up the persona and keep getting the moral superiority kicks. They keep going on and on not just about being "gold standard" but often in the same breath about being being ahead of their neighbours on progress and standards.

It should be remembered that Joanna Cherry, the most notable 'terf' MP, is also in the Scottish National Party. Notice how OP has written Scottish Nationalist Party instead - that's a telltale sign that they're posting with another agenda.

They're also trying to pin it specifically on SNP members when the TRA problem in the SNP is one that is affecting all left of centre parties, including the Lib-dems and Labour. The petition the article is talking about is directed at all of these parties and there's nothing to suggest the signatures come from mainly SNP members.

Good news today - some of these clowns have been voted out of their party positions, as more and more people see what they're up to. https://wingsoverscotland.com/the-portillo-moments/#more-121289

Love Joanna Cherry, need her in the top seat ASAP
