Candidates Suspended in Scotland

[Borchester]

The latest happenings in Scotland:

Four Candidates have been suspended for alleged racist comments.

The Tory hopeful in Glasgow Central was accused of making anti-Muslim comments

The Tory hopeful in Aberdeen North faces allegations he had made anti-Semitic, Islamophobic and homophobic comments seven years previously.

Labour's candidate in Falkirk has gone because of anti-semitic utterances

The SNPs campaign in Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath has also hit the buffers with their candidate suspended for anti-semitic comments



The only one who had any  chance of winning was the SNP candidate. Electoral Calculus has him 15.3% ahead of Labour.  The big question is how do the SNP followers vote? Do they still back the party or, do they switch to the Greens. Either way, Labour will probably benefit.  https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcgi-bin/seatdetails.py?seat=Kirkcaldy%20and%20Cowdenbeath">https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcg ... owdenbeath">https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcgi-bin/seatdetails.py?seat=Kirkcaldy%20and%20Cowdenbeath



It is too late for the  names to be taken off the ballot paper and another person parachuted in.

Clearly anti antisemitism is popular with the electorate in Kirkcaldy so I imagine that it will elect Neale Hanvey and after the dust has settled  Wee Krankie will have him reinstalled in the SNP
