And he’s off. The race starts now, but can the government hold it together?

    Technically speaking, the VONC is still on the table since he’s remaining in post until a successor is appointed. It’s going to be a long week in Holyrood.

      SGP unlikely to bring down the government now. Will wait for next leader I suspect

        I think the VONC only brings down Humza, SNP would then have 28 days to find a new leader or force an election

          There are (were?) 2 VONCs - one in him personally (more likely to pass, but doesn’t make it obligatory for him to go, though he would have anyway) and one in the government itself (less likely to pass, since the Greens look to be ready to work with whoever replaces HY, but that one would definitely oust the government if it did pass).
