Some of the analysis on recent events in Scottish politics is just bizarre, and if there's one thing it shows clearly, it's that the political models that seems to make sense under a first past the post system just don't apply here. In fact, they don't apply well anywhere, which is partly why politics more widely is so messy at the moment. In my latest piece for Bylines Scotland I look at how Scotland's situation provides insights into what's going on. https://bylines.scot/politics/beyond-left-and-right-making-politics-make-sense/?feed_id=1069&_unique_id=66308ac1c21dc#ScotPol#UKpol
