I could not see the FM being the mother of an infant or toddler unless she decides that a live-in nanny would basically raise the child from infanthood.
The last 3 UK PMs all had young children while in office.
Enlighten me then. Who will be the next leader of the SNP? No need to speculate on a reason, imagine. for example Salmond resigning for personal reasons.
Toy with the the words 'deputy leader' and see what you come up with. It isn't rocket science.
She's been touted as natural successor for a while, and I can't see any obvious opponents. Humza Yousaf maybe, but probably a bit soon.
Why can't some people on here see the difference between Blair leading Labour and Cameron leading the Tories? It doesn't matter the wealth or education background of Labour leaders because they are not advocating austerity, they are not promoting policies that will hurt the poor, the vulnerable or many of the working class struggling to survive. They are not promising benefit cuts or banging on about a "global race", whatever that is? The Tory party of 2015 are the enemies of working class people, they are not conservatives at all they are economic neo-liberals and social liberals. The Tory party advocates policies that benefit the wealthiest and the elites.
Surely tax cuts and cuts in benefits will help the "working class". No-one should be claiming JSA, for example, longer than the 3-6 months it might take to find another job. The true working class should not be funding those who choose to spend a lifetime on benefits.
lol there speaks someone who has no idea of the reality in 2015. Yes, sure it only takes 6mnths max to walk into another job? What planet are you living on?
Unemployment is falling, fast. Most people find work within three months, and always have done. Many of those who do not, have effectively chosen not to by refusing to learn how to use a computer, or read and write. More shamefully, I agree that some were failed by the education system and failed by their parents. Apparently being "disadvantaged" is an excuse for doing badly at school.
No rivals at all? Is the SNP that short of talent and ambition?
Ah, I thought you were actually interested, but just knee jerk trolling; silly me.
TUD, you should know better, very few on here are interested in any way , 5 at best counting Easterross and Redcliffe, so easy to know who they are. The few others have been sickened and left.
edit , 6 as Carnyx has recently appeared but as he / she is intelligent and polite I am not convinced he / she will stay long term
It's like doing National Service - an educational experience, but would one want to sign on in the long term?
