Were the Greens booted out before they could quit? Lorna’s properly fuming calling it “an act of political cowardice”.

If the opposition put forward a VONC on Humza right now, I’m not sure he’d survive it.

Aside from my obvious reaction of:

… Does anyone know the actual rules governing VONCs in Holyrood?

Any msp can put forward a motion of no confidence. If if gets the support of at least 25 msps then it will be scheduled for a debate in the parliament followed by a vote.

Thanks! And what happens if he loses? Election or new leader?

Anyone losing a vonc is expected to resign, which in this case should result in a full Holyrood election.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
