So politically, having a local government that is more closely aligned with the policies and the representation that we actually desire, seems functionally more appropriate than being at the mercy of a government that has more important priorities, and a different political ideology. |
Isn't that what the local government/Scottish Parliament is for?
I wish this government represented what I chose as well. I certainly didn't choose a Tory/LibDem government and majority of the country didn't either. Scottish MPs can still vote on policies affecting the entire country and due to the coalition being somewhat questionable at times. Some policies are not passed due to Labour, SNP and Lib Dem back benchers outvoting the government.
Also, welcome back.
EDIT: Okay, just read your other post, sorry you don't get a vote (I still don't get that).
Hmm, pie.
