Markit Says Political Uncertainty Contributing To Slower Spain Growth, Despite Good Result

 Spain's politicians have been arguing amongst themselves since the general election which was held in December 2015.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
