Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for.

I’ve had a look through this paper and I can’t find any claim that politicians will be working for the betterment of the nation and the public rather than for the betterment of themselves. I’d be absolutely astonished if there was such a claim published in an official UK government publication because such a claim would constitute an acknowledgement that contemporary UK politicians act for their own betterment rather than for the betterment of the nation and the public. If you’re adamant that this document contains such a claim, could you be more precise with your referencing? That is, provide page numbers, etc?
Both discuss devolution in great length, you should find what you’re looking for here.
Devolution doesn’t interest me. What interests me is what happened in your life to give you the impression that politicians are supposed to work for the betterment of the nation and the public rather than for the betterment of themselves. Where did you get this idea from? If it came from campaigning around devolution, who said what and when during the campaign to give you this impression? Exactly?
I haven’t moved the goal posts. The goal is to understand what happened in your life to make you believe that politicians are supposed to act any other way than putting their own interests first. I’m not sure why you think those goal posts have changed.
actually engage meaningfully in this discussion
There hasn’t been much discussion.
or is this ultimately just a waste of both of our times
The fact that when I asked what happened to make you believe politicians are supposed put the nation and the people above other interests, you responded with a government publication about devolution, tells me that (1) you don’t understand the question, (2) we’re not communicating and (3) it’s unlikely that we will be able to communicate.
