SCOTS are celebrating a triumph for liberal values as a big fan of Leviticus chapter 18 only came second in the leadership race.
Humza Yousaf became first minister after a close-run contest with Kate Forbes, a member of the Free Church of Scotland who prefers Biblical truth to certain modern innovations.
Voter Bill McKay said: “This goes to show what a progressive, forward-thinking country we are that she only won 48 per cent of the vote.
“That’s of SNP members, of course, who are very much the left-leaning section of the electorate. Put her to the whole of Scotland and she’d likely do much better.
“Yes, she’s very keen on that chapter of Leviticus titled ‘Punishments for Sin’, which outlines all the people who are to be put to death and their blood be on their own heads. And especially verse 18:22, about lying with a man as you would a woman. Loves it.
“But she’s promised not to allow beliefs fundamental to her character to influence her politically, which is great as she’ll have a key role in government.”
He added: “We were mental for witch trials up here back when we were our own kingdom. Good times. I bet Kate’s got a list ready.”
