Election day, Scotland 2016 - Today is a good day to vote …

Who do you trust to represent your best interests? PEOPLE in power and people with power - always vote. Vested interests - always vote. And, so should you.

Who you vote for is up to you. This is your choice, your voice, and your vote - so vote today.

Regardless of the blurb and spin thrown your way, the fact is, these days Governments are only as good as their opposition.

If there is no strong, substantive & coherent opposition, a Government can say what it likes, lie as much as it likes, do what it likes, to whom it likes.

Who wants such a Government? Well … you know who.

The vested interests of this world, big corporations, banks, money lenders and Lord No-No’s wearing their ermine & pound sign clad garments just love to wallow in the omnipotence brought by unaccountable governments & politicians who back them to the hilt.

A fracking project here … a sale of an airport there … things can all be arranged for the highest bidder – just as long as any dodgy deal can be spun in some grubby Press Release written by … you know who …  and paid for by you.

When deals are made behind the back of transparency by governments who claim to act in your name, you know it is time to say we want to know what you are doing - in our name ...

When you hear some politician or power broker claim they must be so innocent because they received no mention in the Panama Papers (while doing their secret deals in Qatar instead) .. you know it is time to disbelieve or distrust much of what else they say.

The true voice of Scotland is you - the Scottish people.

You have the greatest vested interest in Scotland advancing with an accountable government, accountable public services, and yes - an accountable & transparent justice system.

Why not? After all – you pay for it. All of it.

Today, it is your choice, your voice, and your vote. So use it wisely. However you decide to vote, you have the right to decide for yourself.

reminds me of someone who appeared on television recently claiming exactly what you wrote - while of course omitting the Qatar references

Yes indeed listen to Noam Chomsky on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqznqIpkZz0 about hypocrisy.

"Corporations are totalitarian institutions. Board of directors at the top of managers give orders, everyone follows orders….. At the very bottom of command, if you are lucky you can rent yourself to it and get a job , and if you are sufficiently propagandized you may even buy some of the junk they produce and so on…"

Just like the Law Society another form of legalized domination.

So to sum up we now have the Blue Tories (Conservatives) and the Yellow Tories (SNP) running Scotland

I hear the muzzles are already out for those who stood on other platforms

Not good

While we are having a political discussion any idea why BBC Scotland turned into the Hitler Channel today to promote an aging Tory's book on Rudolph Hess mistaking Scotland for Westminster?
