Time for exercise
Research from the Nuffield Foundation in 2011 has demonstrated that Scotland is only marginally more “left” than England. Therefore, how does one explain that centre-right politicians hold less than 10 per cent of seats in the national assembly and have one representative in Westminster?
Clearly the Scottish electorate does not consider that the centre-right parties focus sufficiently on Scottish issues. The time has come for a fresh party to be created, proudly Scottish but celebrating the Union and centre-right policies.
How about naming it “The Scotland Party” before Alex Salmond renames the now redundant Scottish National Party?
