The Politics of Politics

The Trojan Horse was given as a gift from the Greeks to the city of Troy, but it was full of Greek soldiers who invaded the city, and is known as one of the worst tales of deception of all time

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of politics there is within life itself. Far from the narrow corridors of claustrophobic Holyrood, and the often inward looking people who breed within them, lies a world engulfed in more depth in its politics than any parliament could ever hold.

The recent news of the SNP government giving an additional £190 000 to an organisation set up and run by an SNP candidate and former researcher to Salmond, in addition to the £210 000 given to them in March, didn't really come to me as a surprise.

People talk of conspiracy and lying, and while they are absolutely true, I can't help myself but avoid using those terms, because labelling people in those ways almost gives them too much credibility. It makes people think there must be great minds behind the political machine that they are, when actually that's wrong, because the party, from the supporters to the Councillors and MSPs, clearly don't have that great minds behind them, because if they did then they wouldn't support independence. Or maybe I'm mistaken, because according to them not all of them do support independence, right...?

There are so many times the Labour Party criticise the SNP for nothing other than the sake of conflict, and I don't believe we should be doing that, because it discredits the times we complain with real validity, like now.

If you cry foul every time somebody says something you don't agree with, or further than that, says something that you don't want other people to like, then it takes the pack out of the punch you throw when things really are wrong and you do find yourself on the side of justice.

Let's see the defence of the SNP, shall we?

-It's George Foulkes wasting more taxpayers' money.

(I'll blog some of the fabulous motions the SNP put round the Parliament if you want to see them, and then they can argue who wastes tax payers' money)

-Another cheap attack by Labour??

That's about it.

This one, I think folkes, is justified. Fuelling your own interest groups is an absolute disgrace.

One Muslim SNP supporter said, "The Government should be supporting many other organisations who are also vying for the Government's attention... People are very upset about it."

I think this proves why the SNP can't be trusted. They exist for no other reason than the cause of independence, and it is becoming increasingly clear that they will do anything to get it.

The politics of politics is more pathetic than the SNP's existence itself, and I am so sorry that the Labour Party has allowed this to be the centre of Scotland's political debate.
