In Scotland Politics has become almost like a Religion. And under the rules of a certain Party if you don’t agree, you are out! Which in my humble opinion makes it worse than any Church or Faith. More like a Cult.

There is no forgiveness in Politics and only one Party adheres to the Policy of allowing Freedom of Conscience!

Heavy it is, you either love them or hate them with nothing in the middle, no compromise. Those who hate do so with avengence and those who love do so in such a way that they fawn over their Leader. I joke not, I’ve witnessed this with my own eyes and it worries me……a lot.

Both Love and Hate are powerful emotions when it comes to Politics. Both can blind a person, both allow a person to make decisions based on emotions and not fact.

Leaders are treated as demi-gods and some act as if they are, revered and also feared as such. Such is the heady mix of Love and Hate.

The vilification of Kate Forbes over her religion is similar to that of Mary Queen of Scots, will we ever grow up? I suppose it comes down to, does it matter if the person who leads a country has a Faith or not?

Well, look at our last one, who appears to have had no Faith, look where we have ended up. You can’t judge a person until after the event.

I’m sure as we look back on this period of Scottish Politics we will see the funny side of it, some already do!
