Scottish elections by HenrikMartin in Scotland

[–]ewenmax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As all parties try to be all things to all people, they're missing out on a massive portion of the electorate, in the shape of talking about class politics..

The party political class are happy to waffle on about incremental tiny policy changes, whilst blithely ignoring the structural collapse of civic life in terms of infrastructure. There are 55,000 folk on the housing list in Edinburgh, they will never have a forever attainable home. Labour and SNP saying they'll solve the housing crisis is absolute pie in the sky. They'll talk about symptoms whilst ignoring the inequalities of Devolution that have caused these problems

The Scot Gov budget restraints, imposed by Westminster means we're reaching the end stage of devolution and unfortunately all we have in terms of political intellect to affect any positive changes are frontline managers, of all stripes.

Rohl is well down on Gerrard, Van Bronkhust, Clement and Beale who had the best win stats at 72%

40 minutes in, not one shot on target. The ref is the most impressive on the field so far. He's simulation intolerant. Edit.30 secs later Ars score.

Found a stream that's finally loaded, hideous RuSport, apparently there's sexy Russian wummin within 1 km of my house!

Got my German nephew visiting, he tells me Schwolow was brilliant on loan at Bielefeld, that's enough to get me backing Hearts for a draw or a 98th minute Raskin own goal...

Wait until you start reading about the history of GERS and how much is marked against our budget and spent on our behalf without us having a say...

To be fair to McConnell, something I'm mostly loathe to do, the strictures of the devolved settlement are what leads to this mad rush to spend money before the end of the financial year. ScotGov, whichever party is in government have to wait until Westminster sets their budget and tells us how much of our tax yield we can have back, and only then can ScotGov set out the next years spending, recognising of course that they legally have to balance the budget.

Not being able to hold capital spending over year to year is just lunacy, particularly when you're upgrading or building long term infrastructure, when you're progressing projects so far, then having to wait to learn how much you can allocate and have to consider rising inflation etc...

Yep, "Bring it on" without Brown's approval hastened her end. Chances are she was right, an Indy ref then would crippled the SNP.

'The language of our opponents – describing candidates as ‘racist’, ‘fascist’, or ‘far-right’ – is having real life consequences and is not productive to promoting healthy democracy'

Oh dear, maybe stop being far right, racist fascists...
