First time responder.
Firstly let me ...Hi George<br /><br />First time responder. <br /><br />Firstly let me state for the record that I am traditionally a Labour voter, but not a member of any political party.<br /><br />You are correct, sadly this donkey isn’t the only one being foisted on the public. If you look at the SNP, the number 2 on your Glasgow list is Humza Yousaf. How exactly can this nonentity be so high on your list. His only claim to fame is that he was part of a Muslim charity that was in receipt of funds from the Scottish Government, failed to put on the events promised, was forced to pay money back. Is this really the only talent the SNP could find in Glasgow?<br /><br />Well the answer is no, they managed to trawl up “A Man Called” Doris. As a resident of Maryhill, I have two questions:<br /><br />1) Why him, he is lazy and has made no attempt to get himself elected within the constituency, so why have on your list?<br /><br />2) You believe we need Scottish people to represent Scotland, so can’t we have a Glaswegian for us to elect rather than a Vale of Leven reject?<br /><br />Mr Salmond should stop trying to have his friends elected, and start putting up quality hard working candidates.<br /><br />I believe I am typical of the type of person the SNP wants to win over, but if you keep dragging out pond life as your candidates then I am sorry, you have no chance.<br /><br />Like the site but you should boot into the SNP as much as the other parties, after all they are the party that is meant to be running the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-50720128459034581652010-12-11T15:12:26.181+00:002010-12-11T15:12:26.181+00:00Dear Anon
