One for UP. Any reason why Mr Sturgeon appears to have disappeared from public mention of late?
He's lying low because some very serious questions are being asked about just where hundreds of thousands of Pounds of party funds have gone. All three members of the party finance committee resigned because they were denied access to the accounts. Even the party treasurer resigned for exactly the same reason. Even some of the most stalwart party members are beginning to ask just how much of their subs actually goes into the family fortune of the two ruling officials.
He has sunk from public view because he can only maintain secrecy by saying nothing at all. I'm sure that, even if it is a subconcious thought, they know what happened to Mr and Mrs Ceaucescu when the grass roots party members got fed up with their ostentatious display of wealth. The Murrel/Sturgeons have four houses and a household income estimated to be more than £300k. That doesn't go down well in the poorer parts of Glasgow and Edinburgh and the rest of urban lowland Scotland.

The diehard Separatists, which is most of the ordinary party members, are wondering why Mr & Mrs Sturgeon-Murrel are not pushing for the next in a series of neverendums. The ruling couple are in clover as is. They know what a disaster independence would be for Scotland. They want to keep the status quo and don't want anybody to rock the boat. The failed attempt to destroy Salmond was because he represents a threat to their comfortable existence. Craig Murray is another one who is gobby about getting on with independence. The rulers have repeatedly refused him permission to have sideshows at the SNP party conferences to discuss independence. Having him locked up was a purely political move.
For Sturgeon and her 'husband', it's all about clinging on to power. The money is just an added bonus for them. That's not what motivates them. Their real craving is for power and lots of it.
