A motion we won't see Kenneth Gibson lodge...

Short Title - 'Making the Parliament More Serious'

That the Parliament continues to be astounded by certain SNP members capacity to lodge turgid, utterly pointless motions such as 'Making the Parliament More Scottish'; notes that the processing of parliamentary motions costs money and should be used to raise issues of relevance and genuine importance to constituents; challenges Mr Gibson to find one member of the public who takes this sort of pish (fine Scottish word that so don’t accuse me of not wanting to make the Parley more Scottish!) seriously; recalls that, earlier this year, Mr Gibson's laid a motion praising his young daughter for winning a colouring in competition and pleads with the Kenny (sorry Kenneth) Gibson's of this world to stop wasting everyone's time with daft pedantic motions such as the one about wanting to make the Parliament more Scottish.

Perhaps this blog should be renamed 'Partisan Holyrood Commentary'?

You can't blame the blog for the fact that it's primarily SNP MSPs that lodge ridiculous motions

But we can blame the blog (Jeff) for this pointless and fairly juvenile posting.

Crikey! WHat have I done?

I haven't posted on here for moons. It says it was posted by Holyrood Watcher so leave me be, thanks.

I'll do a whip round for a proper Crap Holyrod Chat motion and get it up here. I, of course, hope I don't find any. (Well, not any SNP ones anyway....)
