It’s been an exciting morning in Scotland with the First Minister abrogating the Bute House Agreement with the Scottish Greens. As noted in the Tweets above the Greens are very unhappy with this turn of events which explains why Douglas Ross has tabled a vote of no confidence, it is clear never annoy the Scottish Greens.
Even if Yousaf wins the vote he will struggle to pass things like budgets, it is clear he is being advised the experts who thought there would be no charges from Operation Branchform, his performance today has today hasn’t been that impressive.
It might turn out to be a good thing for the SNP if Yousaf is replaced by somebody else who carries less continuity Sturgeon baggage. If this change happens before the UK wide general election it may help the SNP hold on to more of their seats.
DavidL noted on the previous thread that if the vote of confidence does pass it does mean an immediate Holyrood election, much like the much lamented Fixed-term Parliament Act, ‘under s46 of the Scotland Act the Scottish Parliament has 28 days to nominate and approve the appointment of a first minister. If a VONC is passed presumably that will be treated like a resignation. Under s3 of the 1998 Act, if no such nomination is made within the time limit (there is the possibility of an extension) then an extraordinary general election is to be applied for by the Presiding Officer to His Majesty who can appoint the date on which an extraordinary election is to be held.’
This Scottish play could be very exciting if we get a Holyrood election soon.
