Getting a few articles in my feed about her greetin` that her archaic Christian views stopped her being FM when she was a "shoe in".

To be fair, she has a point that Humza`s Islamic belief set want all that different. Personally though, I can`t stand the Judeo-Christian- and Islamic- mythologies and would say anyone that believes as deeply in it as Forbes, Humza or Sarwar should be nowhere near political power, particularly when the Scottish census shows the majority are "non-religious".

Curious - how big a deal is this being portrayed as by STV & BBC Scotland?

Forbes also seems to think that she has mass public support - seems a bit delusional?

A person that follows religious ideology that discriminates against numerous people they wish to rule seeming delusional?

Would never have guessed 😂

I don’t know about mass public support like. She will have some localised support and tbh she probably was IMO the best candidate at the time. The way she was portrayed and treated was terrible though. They absolutely F’d her then glossed over Humza. Somehow none of his questionable Islamic beliefs were questioned apart from a token question with a token answer.

Folk will tell you that everything in the media is against the SNP but Nicola and co always wanted Humza in place and the media ran in that direction accordingly.

Her personal beliefs would not have been an issue if she was elected as leader.
She already stated that the will of parliament was paramount in any legislation even if it ran against her beliefs.
