How now Brown's Vow - update...

My local Tory MSP, the one who was pushing moves to a more federal UK Union in my local newspaper last week, has announced he will not be standing for re-election in May 2016.

I wonder if this is just co-incidence or maybe one weel kent and highly regarded Scottish Conservative and Unionist (he was presiding officer for a while), an old fashioned one nation Tory to boot, has had enough of the stupidity of his bosses in the party's London HQ with regards Holyrood, the Vow and the Smith Report. 

I understand he does not have much time for Ms Davidson who he is rumoured to consider a political 'light weight' run from London. In essence the suggestion is the Scottish Tories are in the same boat as 'Scotch' Labour - merely a branch office who have to do what they are telt.

Wonder how many other Conservative MSPs will be leaving Holyrood to spend more time with their families ...

  2. I echo jimnarlene that we lose every one of them. I will give your man some praise he was a decent Presiding Officer.
