Herald says weird things about Cunliffe and Labour Clutha.
Mr Cunliffe confirmed to the Herald last night that he had arranged for the person ��� whose case has been the topic of media coverage ��� to meet a Labour candidate but said he had no idea about the controversial background...

Schroedingers Kingdom: the Scottish Political Singularity.
Its even worse when you consider that in Scotland the conservatives are highly regionalized: theyre able to elect an MP because they have a couple of affluent highly conservative constituencies, but the rest of the nation is effectively.. Its the no campaigns vote to lose. but they dont seem to actually be winning it, and even if there is an eventual majority opposed to independence, my prediction is that the margin will be so slim that the question will remain open��.
Words are worthless | Edinburgh Eye
Elliot Bulmers article in the Herald, A Scottish Constitution to serve the common weal, represents his views on the Scottish Constitution and on independence: views he has expressed multiple times and in many ways.
