The world of Politics is without doubt a place where visual perception appears to differ from reality. We see this nearly everyday when we listen to Westminster Politicians and lately we’ve seen it in Scotland.

The Tories have had no less than three Leaders in the last year and not one of them seemed to live in the real world, to be honest none of them do. They live in a world where money means everything and everything they do is about money. The more they amass the more out of touch with reality they become.

Here in Scotland, we have always expected more of our Politicians and to be fair as far as money is concerned they have stood the test but when it came to living in the real world on other matters they failed.

All things GRA became a hill too far! A Leader must always accept the blame for the failure but let us not forget she had people around her to guide her. It has been that collective failure that has reduced the membership of 100.000 to 75000 and still dropping. Every member of her Cabinet is equally tarnished with regard to this Bill. Therefore nothing will change for the SNP until the whole cabal go.

Someone with a new broom, someone to appeal to all. Who knows what could happen, members may even return if the focus went back to Independence.

This is a God-given chance for the SNP to refresh, refocus and bring all Indy Parties together, “ All under one banner” would truly mean something again!

No more ‘one trick pony’ Politics.

We all have an important part to play, different branches of the same tree!

Democracy does not have to be an illusion. IT CAN GROW GIVEN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT.
