NIGEL Farage’s new party has an MSP in the Scots Parliament. This was done without campaigning or raising a single vote. How? Anyone can do it, apparently. All it takes is for an already elected MSP to join your new party. Simples. Farage’s new MSP is now also their “leader” in Scotland. In most democracies this would be a constitutional obscenity, of course. So, the rules do need tightening. As The National points out; “Michelle Ballantyne (for it is she) was not elected to the new leadership, merely appointed by Farage, but then she was not directly elected to the Holyrood Parliament either, as she only got the job because fellow Tory Rachael Hamilton resigned her position as a list MSP to fight the Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire Scottish Parliamentary by-election in June 2017.
