TORY MSPs deployed every “cynical” strategy in their playbook in a bid to push gender reform legislation into the long grass – and it’s working.
On Tuesday, it took over an hour for MSPs to finally get to the first batch of amendments on the agenda, after Tory MSPs repeatedly raised points of order and other excuses. When it came to voting on amendments, they forced through every single one – even those from proposers who had decided not to move them, with a range of Tory MSPs moving them in their stead before they inevitably fell.
At one point, they forced a vote on whether or not to include “and” in a sentence.
