She was impressive in her General Election speech, and no less impressive now.
I don't agree with all of her views, but look forward to following how her career progresses.

Just saw this on Facebook, and was about to post it myself.
Definitely comes across very well there, and as Tighty said, a very good speech.
Was it an SNP meeting, or do most of them take Mondays off?

Wow.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a chamber full of people who could talk like that? The Daily Politics would be on at 7pm, PMQs would be straight after Eastenders and the upcoming debate on foxhunting would push Mrs Brown's Boys to BBC2.
Kids would be collecting Westminster sticker albums, arguing over a suggested trade of Theresa May and Hilary Benn for a shiny Nick Clegg. Families would watch debates into the night the way they watch the Masters Golf or the Eurovision results.
Oh, and people would vote on issues rather than rosette colours, because 600 people in suits would make them realise what a glorious and precious thing democracy is.

You should offer to meet her over a kebab or nandos mate, you might have to pay now she's an MP, you might look the bigger chav if you insisted on her paying though. You got better clothes than a shiny tracksuit if you meet?

What do you want Tal?
Eloquence, passion and command of the subject? Colourful insults about other politicians? Speeches that build until they flow over with one historic phrase after another? References to playwrights, poets, economists, 18th century politicians and other historical figures liberally sprinkled in?
Try these two Irish politicians.
Michael D. has a style of starting slowly and building the flow, so you might want to skip to 3:00 of the second one if the whole thing is too long. David Norris, on the other hand, in the first, is in full flow from the start:

can't stand her politics. whole party is a load of chancers
(see their behaviour on the fox hunting vote. Angus Robertson, leader of the group, said the party wanted to send a message to the Conservative government about the narrowness of its majority. So they'd vote for the current legislation in England, if the vote went ahead, but the Scottish hunting laws are much more lenient*. As I say, chancers. EVEL please, and quickly)
her behaviour on election night really rankled, gave a very surly acceptance speech in stark contrast to murphy's dignified exit
i do concede that a lot of the SNP MPs are very fine orators. probably because they've had plenty of practice shouting over heckling lol
(*Traditional fox hunting with dogs is illegal across Britain. However, hunts in England and Wales are able to flush out foxes for pest control purposes, using only two dogs - as long as the foxes are shot as quickly as possible. In Scotland an unlimited number of dogs can be used for this purpose.)

Didn't the conservatives want Scotland to remain in the union? But they don't want the Scottish MP's to vote on certain issues?

Yes the whole thing is a mess. the current government needs better legislation than it is presently proposing, the SNP wants it both ways and the situation is a legacy of the initial poor process of devolution

. Funny but true
Half of them are just total luckboxes, right time right place and all that with the rise of the SNP. Some decent MP's lost out to this bunch of chavs.

It's a good speech, but so are a lot of maiden speeches - they're prepared and ready for it and given the opportunity to show off to their best.
I generally think that MP's should have at least 5 years experience of work outside of politics so that they have a more general world view; this is primarily to avoid career politicians - but she does highlight that it would also benefit from having a minimum level of experience and qualification as well.
