@MhairiHunter Why not? Where to begin!

For a start every SNP politician, every opening of parliaments, wears a white rose to honour their founding faither Hugh MacDiarmid, author of 'plea for a Scottish Fascism'

@MhairiHunter Then there are the cover-ups about the EU. The party is, and has done, everything it can to keep the truth from Scots about if, how and when we could meet the Copenhagen Criteria.

@MhairiHunter Then there's the poor quality of SNP politician we get. Derek MacKay, Margaret Ferrier, Michelle Thompson, Natalie McGarry, Mark McDonald...

You never know when your representative my be jailed, disgraced or simply dissapear... With no refunds

@MhairiHunter There's the SNP use of dodgy Populist propaganda techniques; such as "Promising the Impossible" populistsplaybook.com/2020/07/08/pro…

@MhairiHunter Or the simple crofters and chip-shop fryers with their "folksy man of the people posturing"

populistsplaybook.com/2020/08/12/fol…

@MhairiHunter Or, basically, any of the 12 Populist Nationalist techniques you use

@MhairiHunter I just don't have the ability to cope with the cognitive dissonance it must take to simultaneously believe the ScotGov figures showing we are better off in the Union, and that the deficit isn't an issue

@MhairiHunter Or the fact nationalism will stir up death threats against someone as lovely as Susan Calman; it's just not for me thanks.

@MhairiHunter Or the bare denial of what devolution has made possible and independence risks ; while every ounce and penny out in to independence by the SNP are robbed from the day job

@MhairiHunter There's the basic denial of simple facts.

If you are Sterlingised, You don't set monetary policy, which means you can't meet the EU criteria on governance of monetary policy!!

@MhairiHunter There's the fact that Holyrood has no competence on the constitution, Europe or External affairs yet we are paying £100k a year salaries for these Remits; again, every penny robbed from the devolved day job

@MhairiHunter Because the party leader is married to the party CEO and they could be taking home a million in wages every parliament between them. Who is Peter Murrell? What is he paid? Who decides what he is paid?

@MhairiHunter Because the SNP deliberately blur the lines between party and state, deliberately block FOI requests, deliberately avoid email using scraps of paper, deliberately don't take minutes and claim amnesia, well; Ex Umbra In Solem!

@MhairiHunter Because of 100 broken promises, you will say anything for a vote

@MhairiHunter Because Nationalism is a sickness. I don't want to separate people with invisible, interim, imaginary lines on maps. You have the hubris of 13 years now #ChangeMustCome

*That's* why I'm not in the #SNP
