THE first FMQs of a new parliament is always worth a watch. The others? Not so much. But the first one definitely deserves your attention. Yesterday’s session had it all: new outfits, newbie MSPs, a shiny new Presiding Officer and Douglas Ross’s first go as Scottish Conservative leader. From his performance on the election TV debates, viewers wouldn’t have been expecting much beyond that weird Tory wide-leg power stance and a whole lot of shouting. Broadly speaking, the strategy of opposition party leaders at FMQs usually falls into one of two categories: constructive and dull or adversarial and interesting.
