To all the SNP parliamentarians whooping today and about the ruling of lady carmichael and hashtagging with both votes SNP. Firstly, this result was expected. Very few of these types of cases succeed in the outer house. Going to the inner house was expected.
Secondly! Hang your head in shame for trying to campaign for your party on the back of this case. The "Premature, Academic and Hypothetical" would not have been a thing had your party released the 11 point plan the day before they actually did.
Why? Because it falls apart at point 5 and actually goes into EXACTLY the thing we've been asking in the case. You're not telling me that legal advice was not sought on something that substantive and that the party and its counsel did not know about it BEFORE the hearings.
We'll find out, because I have referred the matter to parliament!.
Finally, we're not finished. This was just us getting warmed up! Inner house here we come.
