THERE are “too many careerists” in the Scottish Parliament and its culture is leading to the “strangling” of debate, a former SNP health secretary has claimed.
Alex Neil, who represented the party at Holyrood for 22 years until stepping down at the 2021 election, was critical of the number of “yes people” surrounding party leaders in the Parliament.
Speaking to the Scottish Sun, Neil argued reforms are needed to improve the quality of debate in the Chamber.
