The upcoming Holyrood election might not be a referendum but itβs probably the most important one since devolution.
With Westminster imploding and their Scottish sub-parties dragging Scotlandβs progress down at every turn we canβt afford to let them anywhere near Holyrood.
This one really matters.

Meanwhile, Scotland is the member who has to hand over their pay packets to the 'head' of the house, get's half back to spend on themselves, has to pay interest in the debt when the head overspends, and isn't allowed to move out to another home that suits them better.

If people in Scottish constituencies are going to vote in unionist parties they should at least have enough principles to refuse free prescriptions, eye tests, tuition fees, personal care, etc, etc. otherwise that choice seems very hypocritical.
