    I know who Ian Blackford is, I've been listening to him speak for years. But I don't *really know who he is.

    So he is the leader of the Scottish National Party(SNP). But so is Nicola Sturgeon. How can they both be the leader? Does the SNP have a devolved branch and a union branch? Or do they co-rule it?

    Nicola Sturgeon, as 1st minister of Scotland outranks Ian Blackford or the other way around?

    Does a low level position in House of Commons outrank a higher position in a devolved government?

    • He's and MP and the leader of the other SNP MPs at Westminster.Brabo_Brabo
    • Sturgeon is a MSP (member of the Scottish Parliament). She's also the leader of the whole SNP (and therefore outranks Blackford)Brabo_Brabo
    • I wish her would replace Boris and lead the country he's great.shapesalad
