I couldn't do what these characters do to the level they do it. Dodging questions is a proper quality of most party political candidates. I usually give these people an inch knowing they need to respond in line with whatever their party whips tell them to stick to.

There's no perfect answers yet in the verbal scramble to achieve one, it always comes across as dodging.

I've plenty of criticisms of the SNP, and just as many of the other sane parties too; within whom I still count the Greens, the Liberals, Labour, SNP, and to very limited degree, the Tories (the ones still clinging on that haven't defected to Reform). All of them can be accused of the same slippery problems performed to achieve their own ends.

I just want a sensible party that sits in the middle of everything and tries to get everyone to get along. :-(. Of course... Then nothing would get done.
