- Local government: party political or independent?
I have to say I think much of this article misses the point that it makes right at the start – these are local elections and that makes them several degrees more sophisticated than national elections. Folk voting much more to consider. They have to balance what they know, and often know personally, about the abilities of the candidates; what each candidate say they will achieve; and what the electors can realistically expect candidates to achieve in their interests (in-spite of what the candidate said). People change how they vote for council elections particularly under STV. I have spoken to both staunch Labour and Conservative voters in South Kintyre who will be voting SNP in the council elections. These people would never, even in their wildest dreams, support us in a national election. They see a good job being done and so support that work. Council elections are not about one kind of politics mantra or idea vs another, they are about common sense. - Rory Colville abandons Liberal Democrats
When I first saw this i nearly burst a blood vessel, I could easily justify cutting and pasting much of the above list but could never in a million years, claim them as MY achievements in the way Rory has. - McGrigor and Kelly say Machrihanish airbase community buy out at a crossroads
Newsroom – The Scottish Government has been going above and beyond to help MACC win ground from the MOD (pardon the pun)for many months now. I would suggest that the identification of Machrihanish as a sight of national importance for Renewable Energy by the Scottish Government paves the way for further investment. I have heard Iain Wardrop, the chair of MACC, praise the Scottish Government for its support on more than one occasion in the last few weeks, the announcement above is merely an attempt to be associated with good news. I don’t doubt that Jamie and Donald have been working hard, but no more than the rest of us have. - Russell says council budget shows school closures ‘completely unnecessary’
no I never - Russell says council budget shows school closures ‘completely unnecessary’
Neil, The SNP group both in and out of the administration instigated all the steps which led to the abandonment of the proposals working with Scottish Rural Schools Network and Argyll Rural Schools Network, I have no doubt that the communities affected are clear of that even if you are not

John – no idea. Was it posted to this story? I’ve been on duty since 07.45 and I’ve not removed anything.
I suggest you repost it and, provided it’s not libellous (not having seen it at all) it will get approved.
Ans apologies for the gremlins.

I note that very few have provided leaflets above. Are the candidates just too busy going door to door or are they apathetic or plain lazy in Argyll? In my particular village we have received only 2 flyers through the door (that’s out of 9 standing!).
