And they stayed winning to this day. Because they remain aligned with the #Scottish People. Mostly.
And because the other parties in #ScotParl occupied the other niches #Alba tried to occupy.
And all I can say is this.
Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish.

Start of article by INter-Parliamentary Union with picture of delegates at international gathering Proactive parliaments: How Committees of the Future address emerging challenges Fri, 28/02/2025 - 10:00 finland 2022 World Summit of Committees of the Future, Helsinki ©Parliament of Finland Since 2010, inspired by the example set by the Parliament of Finland, several parliaments have established Committees of the Future – dedicated committees to address future issues and explore potential solutions. The relatively short operational history of these committees, combined with the unique political and institutional contexts of each country, has resulted in diverse roles and impacts on parliamentary and national policymaking processes.

Why is critical MSP voting system even using Microsoft? #SelfHost
“business at #ScotParl suspended because of technical issues w/ online voting system. …outage prompted postponement of debate… Senior source [said] they believed the problems related to the MS outage.”

The Give Them Time campaign showed what’s possible when
✅ Parents persist, provide the evidence, and campaign
✅ Politicians listen and collaborate
✅ Parliament works
This was democracy in action. Let’s demand more of it.

Today, I raised concerns with Scottish Government Ministers about the challenges of temporary accommodation. It's heart-breaking to hear from constituents facing uncertainty and hardship, with many families caught in this crisis. #ScotParl #TemporaryAccommodation
An emotional moment in Holyrood as SNP’s George Adam speaks about his wife Stacey, who has MS:
“This Bill gives her peace of mind.”
A reminder of what’s at stake. #AssistedDying #ScotParl
🗣️"When a Terminally ill constituent looks me in the eye and says 'I want the option of a peaceful, dignified death on my terms, it's hard to say, that's not your decision, it's mine." @colinsmythmsp.bsky.social #ScotParl #AssistedDyingBill
🎥 “We cannot leave this in the 'too difficult box', that would be unforgivable.”
As MSPs debate Scotland’s Assisted Dying Bill, Liam McArthur MSP, speaks powerfully in favour of change.
This could be a historic moment for the people of Scotland.

Today's Chamber Business. An image shows MSPs in the debating chamber. The First Minister is stood addressing parliament.
Today in the #ScotParl Chamber:
🟣 Scottish Government Debate: Protecting the Powers of the Scottish Parliament
🟣 Members' Business Debate led by Rachael Hamilton: Tackling the Rise in Rural Crime and Equipment Theft in Scotland
Watch online: www.scottishparliament.tv
Again and again the #scotparl opposition do this. They exploit the government's need to announce business officially. They "campaign" for what is going to be policy anyway and then claim the government is following their lead.
