Short Of Ideas?

What is the point? Just what is the point?

The BBC commissioned a poll to look at which “policies” hold the biggest sway with the Scottish electorate.

Coming out on top was the reduction of cancer waiting times, which is fair enough. But the majority of the list just fills me with despair.

The second and third top choices were to do nothing at all, because the policies have already been achieved! In fact that is the case for 4 of the top 10.

Is that all we expect of our politicians? Do we not want policies that will improve our country? Just policies that will keep it the same, or change it around the edges?

The Cosla president, Pat Watters, was spot on when he said we are being fed rubbish from the party manifestos.

Where is the vision?
