So the final SNP leadership debate is over tonight where the BBC thankfully didn't try to stage-manage a biased audience full of angst, instead covering the main topics that people in Scotland want to hear from a future leader of the SNP/Scot govt and most of the coverage being healthy, constructive debate with some differing points of view. The talking is over and the voting process begins. My own "take" on the eventual winner is that I'll be very surprised if Kate Forbes doesn't succeed in her campaign to become the next First Minister of Scotland. She comes over as someone who is well assured and has an element of stature about her compared with the other candidates. We shall see how it all unfolds!
