This has been badly reported, in the sense of hardly reported,  so far. A proper political scandal.

Elsewhere in the UK some middle ranking civil servant would take the blame, with early retirement & a pension.

I doubt it would work that quietly in Scotland

I was half hoping they'd pull back from the brink, but no dice. At a time when the province needs some kind of voice in the brexit debate, they waste energy in an election campaign, which, if the polls are right (yes, I know......) may result in a stalemate after the March election, resulting in either yet more elections or direct rule from Westminster. Sad day.
