Saying as you didn't get a cup final ticket so opted for a golf membership instead of a season ticket I'd thought you lost interest in all things through here.

OTT Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I’ll be honest, as a long time SNP voter and independence voter, I’m glad they’ve got kicked out of Edinburgh council. Nobody voted for these stupid cycling bollards going up everywhere or this 20 mph crap, or the gradual creep towards congestion charges. Low emission zones are a poverty tax wrapped up with a green bow. **** them. City is a shambles and I firmly believe that the local councils shouldn’t be a constitutional proxy war. Maybe with this group can begin to undo some of the nonsense the previous idiots started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous 1874 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The SNP (along with Labour) ruined a lot of Edinburgh. The greens are totally ****ing useless. All for a 3 party minority running the show. First act should be punting those ridiculous spaces for people nonsense. The one on Lanark road was put to vote, the residents agreed to punt them and yet the SNP & Labour just kept them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth remembering that, while Edinburgh is already the worst funded LA in Scotland per head, the SNP and Greens voted to slash council budgets even further. The previous incumbents didn’t put nearly enough pressure on the SNP led Scot Gov to increase funding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else? It was the greens. Snp had more sense than to have anything to do with the tories. Strange how peoples view of reality fades over time . See below The first Salmond government, which was sworn in on 17 May 2007 at the start of the 3rd Scottish Parliament, was a SNP minority government. Having won the largest number of seats in the general election (47 of 129) the SNP sought to form a coalition with the Scottish Liberal Democrats. When those talks failed, the SNP chose to form a one-party minority government. The SNP and Scottish Greens signed an agreement where the Greens supported SNP ministerial appointments, but did not offer support for any confidence or budget votes ("confidence and supply").
