You wonder how the SNP could even let such a vulture capitalist stay in the party, never mind stand her as a candidate.

Her line of work just seems so at odds with the party's anti-austerity, equality-promoting and helping the poor (No sniggering at the back) values.

I thought the righties loved capitalism and the free market. I can’t keep up! 😀

For me, capitalism and the free market don't always fit hand in glove and there are many complexities in both with which I agree and disagree.

Doesn't change the fact that Thomson's line of work fits in into the SNP's supposed values like an adult elephant walking into one of those fairy doors you see at the bottom of trees.

The SNP is a broad church, full of righties and lefties. There are socialists and tartan Tories and everything in between. It’s held together by the common goal of independence and will spilt certainly in an independent Scotland.
