"....another term?

how does a minority seat get to hold the power?!"
Last time round he hired a helicopter and moved into St Andrew's House before anyone else had the chance to talk about coalition deals. |

It is, as they say, too close to call.
The problem, for those who can be arsed reading on, is the two system election mechanism which produces what are generally regarded as second-best 'list' MSPs - sometimes known as MSPs for nowhere and nobody. |

That's a very good point. Do we need the expense of 129 MSPs? Wouldn't 79 constituency MSPs be just as good as considerably lower cost?
They'd be directly accountable to a specific and reasonably local geographical area and people and, whilst they'd need a bit more back office support, that could be provided comparitively cheaply in comparison to funding the egos of MSPs. |
