Incompetence

What a sorry state Scotland's administration is in under the current Snp/green Party coalition. It seems that not a day goes by without major problems arising in just about all the key areas of the administration – health, education, public transport, Police Scotland...

The sheer incompetence of the Scottish Government in dealing with problem areas is quite incomprehensible. Why on earth they were ever voted into power simply beggars belief! Nicola Sturgeon and her colleagues are good at posing and grandstanding, but that, sadly, is the sheer extent of their talent.

Scotland's economy is in a disastrous state in just about every sector, and would be even worse without the huge level of subsidisation extended to it by the Westminster Exchequer – per the Barnett Formula. Many other small countries struggle to merely exist, but as an integral part of the UK, Scotland enjoys the benefits of being part of quite a strong economy – so why do the SNP spend so much time and effort in trying to break-up the 300-year-old Union?
