Kate Elizabeth Forbes (b. 1990) is a Scottish politician. Although she is a member of the far-left SNP, the party that rules Scotland under dictator Sturgeon, she holds some socially conservative views, and has been nicknamed "Tartan Thatcher".[1]
Political career
She was elected to the Scottish Parliament in 2016, representing the constituency of Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch.
Forbes was the only SNP Member of the Scottish Parliament to abstain from a vote on the transgender madness of the Gender Recognition Act in December 2022.[2]
Views
Forbes made a pro-life statement at a prayer breakfast event in 2018, remarking that the "measure of true progress" is the "treatment of the unborn".[3]
Forbes stated that the SNP regime "shouldn't rush to change" the definition of genders, although refused to state if she would vote against a bill on the matter.
On the other hand, she holds numerous left-wing views in line with her party, such as voting in favour of anti-free speech legislation in 2021.[4]
