I am not convinced that this method returns a result a lot more representative of the voters intention than a process in which the electors merely chose three candidates.

• Withdrawals move numbers against proposed new coalition
  I believe Richard Trail and Sandy Taylor have also refused to follow Robb into cloud cuckoo land so his position is completely sunk.
  He has also effectively expelled himself from the SNP, a process that was going to happen anyway.
• Behind the lines: SNP Constituency Association Convenor resigns, Russell isolated
  To get back to the main point – the report that Bob Allen resigned is completley untrue and I see no apology for distributing this lie.
  No doubt we’ll get lots of immaterial froth again but no statement on this.
• Behind the lines: SNP Constituency Association Convenor resigns, Russell isolated
  Of course it’s true. The SNP Constituency Association passed a motion without a single dissent in favour of saving Struan Lodge.
  You are probably confusing SNP local policy with a policy adopted by the SNP led Argyll and Bute administration coalition which is losing its members steadily and got spectacularly thumped last week. As a matter of interest I am not the convener of any of the Cowal branches – nor do I know any SNP member in the Cowal Branches called Anne, though of course as we are gaining members faster than I have ever known I may have missed one.
• Behind the lines: SNP Constituency Association Convenor resigns, Russell isolated
  Quite frankly the above is illogical, inconsistent, incorrect in almost every detail and a total fabrication from beginning to end. In short it is a collection of lies.
  I think it merits wider coverage in the more reliable press
• Three administration members vote against agreed budgetary position on Struan Lodge
  What will happen in the next couple of months is that it will become clear how the position to close Struan Lodge was prepared by the previous administration led by Dick Walsh and continued by a new administration who accepted flawed figures at face value.
  There is a long history of Helensburgh disquiet at what it thinks it is missing out on stuff the rest of Argyll and Bute is getting and this has to be factored into this gormless debacle. There are several threads intertwined here but the fact that the moratorium is not removed gives real cause for concern – and perhaps indicates another very shifty position.
