Need an election... give the people the vote ....
A soon as Sunak calls one.
@@jackdubz4247 Mr Sunak does not call the Scottish elections.
Sorely over due. The sooner the better. Totally sick of it all.
snp/greens will be extinct after the next election and the cult knows that.
Labour's coming back to Scotland!!!!
Just swapped one duffer for another. Why am I not surprised?
Give the people the vote SNP a disaster for Scotland
Labour and the Tories have done worse to Scotland. We will never vote for any slavish bond.
John Swindle in POWER.. 😱 OMG SCOTLAND.. OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE 🔥
Swinney is as tarred with the Sturgeon hand as any???
Its all about THE MONEEEEY!!
john swindle as leader what next he was sturgeon and Yousaf's clapping seal.
Better him than The Hateful Kate.
We need a general election
The same John Swinney that backed transgender self ID at 16 and an LGBGT school curriculum.
The Scottish greens will be delighted, and the tail continues to wag the dog.
The same John Swinney that delivered the Queensferry Crossing under budget?
@@ScottishRoss27Get him in! Track record of failure as a leader. Look at his stats mate. He’s a loser. Best thing for Scotland is to get rid of SNP.
@@ScottishRoss27 the same Mr Swinney who is deeply involved in embezzling £600K with Messrs Murrell and Sturgeon.

Scotland has the the best deal anywhere in the UK with the SNP,
Vastly superior to anything in Torie run England and Labour run Wales.

Look at her smug face while interviewing.. 🤔😳👎
Another unelected person
All MSP's are elected.
@@ScottishRoss27 No. They are not. Only constituency MSPs are directly elected. Anwar and Ross are also-ran List MSPs.
Humza did the right thing sacking the greens the people of Scotland are delighted there should be a general election
The SNP have a mandate and manifesto to fulfil from the Election in 2021.
Like England, the UK - change the leader & let the people vote.
@@idavo Don't vote for Leaders, vote for Party and the SNP have mandate to government from the electorate.
@@ScottishRoss27they are pushing the gender agenda ,something the Scottish public don't want
@@ScottishRoss27they are running scared from an election because they know what the outcome will be
Dross appears to have no concept of glasshouses or stones.
Can the country please have a vote of no confidence in Fishy Ballsac?
Mr Ross is the man who supported Boris Johnson, then didnt, then did, this most spineless politician in the UK
Lorna Slater no ? Useless no ? Liz Truss no ? - plenty of others in the spineless pool to draw from
He’s better than useless
@@Bear-Cohiba-1966you need to get your head checked out.
@@blackislepeasplenty of others? Are they being interviewed in this clip? No.
Well done 👏🏻
Douglas Ross says they won't be a contest for leader and John Swinney will be crowned unopposed. Please remember: Following the resignation of Jackson Carlaw in July 2020, Ross announced his candidature in the August 2020 Scottish Conservative Party leadership election. Five days later, he was elected leader unopposed! Hypocritical Douglas eh?
Tory`s and trust should not be in the same sentence.
Mister Douglas Ross ! No New licence for Gas ! No New exploration ! That Is the onlly normal policy , mister Douglas Ross !
the culture wars are being fought in Scotland too, Sophy.
Swinney waste of space we can do so much better
As finance sectary Swinney balanced the books for about 16 years in a row.
@@ScottishRoss27 i cooked the books

Its in law that the Scottish Government has to balance the books every year.
Not with the English calling the shots.
John Swinney another Nicola Sturgeon patsy!

This guy makes me even more determined to vote for Scottish Independence as he’s completely in denial of the mess his party are making of Westminster and believing that has no effect on Scotland.
An Amoeba has more charisma than DRoss
The next leader of the SNP should be Isla Bryson 😂
Why are we expected to take an interest in the view of someone whose party has not won a Scottish-wide election in over 40 years?
Because they are the only opposition and did not majorly support the Hate Crime bill!
The opinion of Douglas Ross, haha. Thanks Sky, an irrelevance.
Hes talking Bull, its not been decided by members. Does he not know anything about procedures were he is supposed to work.
We certainly have no confidence in the Tories
I would have our bin man to be leader of Scottish Tories before that test Douglas Ross

Ross is so useless he cant even take advantage of snp ineptitude!
Patrick Harvie is the Kingmaker or Queenmaker. The mad are running the asylum
he likes the queens right enough.
Who's Douglas Ross?
A football linesman
A nobody who thinks that they are somebody.
Scotland will see the end of Douglas Ross soon.
wasn't the fixed term parliament act a tory policy or am I mistaken?
The Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which, for the first time, set in legislation a default fixed election date for general elections in the United Kingdom. It remained in force until 2022, when it was repealed. Since then, as before its passage, elections are required by law to be held at least once every five years, but can be called earlier if the prime minister advises the monarch to exercise the royal prerogative to do so.

SNP will be finished if it gets another Sturgeon clique leader.
The weasel Ross hopes that Swinney is coronated because it may actually boost the Scottish Tories slightly, if Kate Forbes becomes the new leader however then the SNP will be rejuvenated immediately in the eyes of the Independence supporting Scottish electorate and would take voters away from the Tories.
Douglas Ross thinks that bad news for the SNP means good news for the Tories. Bwahahahahahah!
Tories haven't won a national election in Scotland since circa 1955.
Maybe mister Douglas Ross Has Ties to Sinn Feinn 🤔🤔🤔🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sinn Féin would never accept such a disgusting unionist.
@@hghyfyfiugou4448 Look at that dispaire , Fed up , anger , HATERED in Douglas s Ross s eyes !!
@@hghyfyfiugou4448 as if Douglas Ross wants to murder somebody or has allready murdered someone
No one should be the leader of Scotland without a general election and them being voted in by the people of Scotland.
Yes same as in England 🤔🤣
What business is it of the Tories?
This guy is a joke based his arguement on a local councillor being elected on a 30%turnout

@@JamJam0189big difference, the SNP are in Government. Nicola Sturgeon resigned, Hamza resigned, the SNP should call an election.
@@kincaidwolf5184 But Boris never did when he resigned, Theresa did not call an election when she took over from Cameron, and John Major did not when he took over from Thatcher.
Unless it's in the constitution it won't happen.
Oh well lol. That's the SNP definitely finished.
Up 2% in yesterdays yougov poll.
all queing up to get their fingers in the pot .
Swinney no
Another Sky presenter that is utterly embarrassing. Her questions are ‘cocktail party chat’ level. Pathetic.
Ross is one of the most loathsome, weaselly individuals in politics. He has NO ideology other than self promotion. Like his Tory masters, he only ever looks to break and destroy things, never anything remotely constructive.
No different from the weasels in the Scottish government then is he
@@nicolarse-stubborn or all of westminster and the lords
And he's crap at football.
Ridiculous comment.
Douglas Ross is right the nhs in Scotland is in a mess
So everybody gets, who nobody wants ! again ?
Said the man who don’t el t prime ministers!
Another wallpaper in Bute hoose.
This is great news for Independence. Remember William Wallace was a reluctant leader. Onwards to Freedom!🏴
Thank goodness there is a new leader without a contest.
Need the people to vote
Tories haven't had a Scottish majority since 1955. DRoss can go and raffle his doughnuts.
Not only that but they had more than half the popular vote several times. What happened.
Who cares? Not me I just wish we in England could have a referendum to get rid of that miserable, little country.
Bring back Ruth Davidson.
She doesn't want the job but yes a better leader
How can Ross be an MP and MSP at the same time, how does that work?
Good question. And he wouldn’t have been elected in Scotland but for our bizarre voting system. Such a system was rejected for Westminster elections in a UK referendum in 2011. So why does Scotland still have it.🤔
Aye, with a crown of very prickly thorns.
Get all the con servatives out
Mister Douglas Ross , remindes me more , of An nationalist , for independance than An ally to London 🤔🇬🇧,
Any elected representative in Scotland's Parliament having Allegiance to London is a threat to Scotland's national security.
Humza gone- get the champagne out.
Well don’t think there’s any talent in your party ross
Oh Dear, not exactly new blood is it.... same old same old same old the same old record playing again.... we are all tired of this SNP same old story in Scotland
Douglas Ross is by far the dullest politician to be elected in any British Parliament. Lawmakers used to be educated lawyers, sharp barristers , and highly rated economists. Nowadays, a football referee can lead a major political party in Scotland.
Anyway , mister Douglas Ross , looks , a bit , exkstreem , like An hard Line nationalist 🤔
Fishy’s best pal. More of the same.
And , mister Douglas Ross , as Sky News Beth Said , people accross BriTain Are furious when the Conservatives come to their footstep Doors ! .

Swinney!? Never heard of him/her/it! Hope it’s not another foreigner!!
Since 2007 has been Scotland's Deputy First Minister, Finance Secretary, Education Secretary and Covid Recovery Secretary.
Another foreigner? When has Scotland had a First Minister that was a foreigner? How about Secretary or even a Minister?
Humza was born and raised here. It's the only place he's ever called home. Grow up.

I'll never vote tory. Snp all the way. And bring on independence so we aren't at the mercy of Westminster. Evil tories with their evil pip reform, ugh.
It's not independence from Westminster if we have to take orders from EU were we wouldn't have a vote or any say whatsoever just pay them our money with nothing in return independence would kill scotland and we are barely alive after 17 years of damage by snp sturgeon and her minions have a lot to answer for
@@gemma6166not this tired BS again. The EU is an economic trading block, membership of which would be beneficial to Scotland - or any country for that matter. English lunacy has resulted in disaster for thousands of small businesses and people are generally poorer. And the EU never told anyone what to do. That’s just English urban myth
@@eckie4679 Like....Ursula von der nothing.......................................
i would have thought the Tories would want the Scottish elections to wait until Westminster Labour's mid-term blues kick in.

Douglass Ross became Torie leader in Scotland without a contest.
Back under your rock Ross.
Oh dear me and I thought Sky news Australia was bad but this is just an awful news channel.
The entire British media are anti Snp as they fear the breakup of the UK.
There is "no confidence" in Holyrood shut it down and hold the Fringe in it, its perfect for comedians.
Kate Forbes is the best person for the job however, Douglas Ross would also make a good strong First Minister.
Scotland - Vote 2024 Tory goodbye! Laugh :) Jan 2025 EU - Scotland - woohoo! :)
Even if that did happen, EU membership would be at least a decade away in any case 😂 that's if Spain, France and Belgium don't black ball it. Associated membership is more likely.
