THE RAB C NESBITT Party (RNP)[1]
has, so it seems descended upon parliament solely for its cheap booze and
subsidised junk food, excluding (but hopefully not for long), the deep fried
Mars bars which are the stuff of legend in Glasgow's fish and chip shops.
The RNP
MPs have behaved like binge drinkers since they arrived at Westminster, if the Daily Mail is to be believed (which it
should be). The lack of any kind of civility among many of the RNP members is
no doubt due to the Scottish people's preparedness to vote for a chimpanzee
wearing a black and yellow rosette, rather than see the Tories back in power in
Westminster.
It makes
one wonder how many of these 'honourable members' got through the selection
process if such a process ever took place. More likely the muster was called by
Alex Salmond and his henchmen after touring Scotland's bars and press-ganging
through the promise of subsidised alcohol at Westminster, if they shipped out
with him for London.
The RNP
intake has begun living up to the entire south of the border stereotype of the
Scots. They did themselves no favour by posting selfies on the internet from
inside the Commons[2];
or seeking to deny an octogenarian MP from his favoured seat, which has always been given up to him through courtesy
by his fellow MPs out of respect.
They
have also sought to deliberately create many petty confrontations with the 'auld
enemy'. They are a chippy bunch for sure. The way they removed the Liberal
Democrats from their Westminster offices (which, as the third largest party
they were entitled to do) was performed as if Nick Clegg was Louis XVI being
evicted from the palace of Versailles – Clegg must think himself grateful that
he faced the guillotine rather than the screeching and torturous wailing of the
bagpipes – he choose the quick death.
Parliament
has had visited upon it a bunch of boozy Scottish malcontents that, in their
consumption of alcohol, make their English counterparts seem like teetotallers.
Over the next five years these bar room philosophers are set to plague the English with their boorishness; led not
from north of the border by Nicola Sturgeon, but from south of the border by
Alex Salmond MP.
SALMOND'S HATRED for the English, surpasses even that of his
party leader. He is a wild card which will be listened to by his fellow RNP MPs
who will listen to him rather than Nicola Sturgeon - Sturgeon's leadership of the RNP may prove to
be a mere titular appointment if Alex has his way south of the border. The RNP
will sooner or latter, like all Left-wing parties, whether nationalist or, like
the RNP, National Socialist, will eventually fall into schism.
Salmond's
whole life has been overwhelmed by a hate of the English that even surpasses in
its emotional depth that of Nicola Sturgeon; which is saying something. Salmond
is where he wants to be, at the apex, conducting the RNP Westminster contingent
in parliament. Sturgeon has to sit north of the border biting her finger nails
in expectation of Salmond's next move. No wonder he gave up the leadership of
the RNP north of the border to stand for parliament; because such an
arrangement can only benefit him. He is where he wanted to be – he willingly
stood down from the RNP north of the border leadership, to stand for the
Westminster parliament. He judged correctly that the RNP north of the border
would annihilate the Labour Party and send, as it turned out 56 MPs to the
London; making the RNP the third party in terms of seats; while Ukip trawled
twice as many votes as both the Lib Dems and the RNP, but were left with only
one MP. Such is the way of the first past the post system that may now come
back to haunt its supporters including myself, in the past.
Salmond's
strategy is to orchestrate his party's 56 MPs into a Guerrilla campaign to
oppose the Cameron government on every single issue at every opportunity, seeking
to cause him and his party the maximum harm. This is the RNP strategy; the pummelling
of the English is both Salmond and Sturgeon's greatest desire. They both hate the English, although they will deny it; preferring
to concentrate their animosity toward the Royal family and the Tories.
Still
it has not all gone the RNPs way. They hoped for a weak Labour government; one they
could manipulate and make demands upon. Thankfully Ed Miliband lost, and with
his loss the whole RNP strategy for Westminster was lost.
Apparently
Nicola Sturgeon has been discomforted by the behaviour her fellow Scots at
Westminster and has successfully demanded their behaviour improves. They have
fallen into line for the moment, but over the next five years their ranks will always
break when they cannot get their way. They are as capable of turning on each
other as they are the English. They loath the institution they sit in, and have
little respect for its history, which makes anarchic behaviour a natural state
of conduct for the RNP MPs.
