Kate Forbes is a religious fucknugget and shouldn’t even get a look in

She's ahead in the polls.

She increased her vote share in the last Scottish parliament election. Has passed the nomination requirements to be in the running. Sturgeon even appointed her as the finance secretary. She isn't a fringe element.

I guessed which one was Forbes based on which of the two women looked most like a religious fuck nugget and I was correct.

Since when?

Edit: damn. First poll is out and she is currently massively ahead despite a disaster start to her campaign she has had to apologise for.

I just did the same. Yeah she has that vibe.

I too was correct.

If forbes becomes leader it will probably be the beginning of the end for snp support. It will rip the voter base in half.

Im voting for William Wallace.

Did the same and thought it was the one in the middle...
