Making a Mockery of Scotland's Democracy

Quite an admission from a former SNP MP who has jumped ship to the Albanauts.

Neale Hervey agrees that a 'supermajority' of independence supporting MSPs at Holyrood would not reflect the wishes of the electorate, but who cares?

 


Alex and the Albanauts (29/03/21)

I can honestly say I've never heard of Cllr Michelle Ferns who claims to have played a role in delivering Glasgow's equal pay settlement in 2019.

Apparently Cllr Ferns was a SNP councillor during this historic battle, but decided to jump ship recently and join 'Alex and the Albanauts'.


At the risk of bursting Michelle's bubble can I point out that Glasgow's equal pay dispute is not over and that one of the first things the SNP led council did in 2017 was to appeal to the Court of Session in an effort to overturn the decision that its pay arrangements were unlawful and discriminatory.

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'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
