But it's also a massively sweeping statement to say "the system clearly works". To use a recent example, why is Henry McLeish not in jail for an offence which would certainly cause a dole fraud to be sent down?

I was joking! Most of Glasgow Labour should be in jail. Fife is a lovely place though, Kev. Much nicer than wherever it was you said you live. Anyway, our system is still preferable to Cuba's.

Id never deny that. I live in Motherwell , and the entire place has no culture whatsoever.

That said , i have friends in Fife , and on occasion , i head up there , and while , fair enough , 3 months of the year when theres sun , the beaches on Fife are passable and the town seems reasonably friendly , theres the other 9 months of the year where you face doesnt fit in any local pub or hotel , the shops STILL only sell beach hats , rock , the daily ranger , and 3 month out of date porn mags , and for a town in Fife to get a McDonalds is considered heresy by half the local population.

And dont even get me started on Cowdenbeath *shudder*

I like Fife and despise Motherwell. So we're agreed.

And unsurprisingly , McConnell was elected unopposed.

Welcome to widespread corruption and the end of the Scottish Parliament. If ever a man was capable of bringing it down from the inside and causing the public to lose all faith in the system , its Jack McConnell.

What, you think they'll actually dismantle the Parliament because of him? Nah!

No , not while hes around.

But i can see him causing the current lack of faith in the scottish parliament to grow , to a level where we end up calling for its abolition because it reaches a level where we percieve it to be corrupt and beyond hope (which will occur after McConnell is gone).

Hes the worst possible appointment. A personality that can do genuine harm to the public perception of the parliament.

Wallace and Alexander would have been better choices.

I dunno. At least the guy can think for himself a bit. Alexander is Gordon Brown's pawn, and Wallace has completely sold out his party to Labour. I would rather have a guy like McConnell who'll be dipping his hand into the till a bit than a puppet leader.

Mind you, I see what you mean about public perception. At the moment the Scottish people are being conditioned by the press to believe that the Parliament is a waste of space, despite the fact that it's actually acheived quite a lot. It's important to get public opinion on the Parliament's side, and McConnell certainly isn't a good choice for that.

I'd've liked to have seen Malcolm Chisolm become First Minister. Not that there was ever much chance of that, of course.

It's sort of tricky for me to follow perochial Scottish politics from the other side of the world, particularly since I was always more interested in what's going on at Westminster. For me, Jim Wallace would have made the best First Minister, but we must remember that his party only got about 17 or 20% of the vote or something, so I suppose that wouldn't be too democratic. This is off the subject a bit, but Andy may recall my suggestion that on Donald Dewar's funeral they should have had his besuited corpse dangling puppet-like from some sort of crane, parading him through the streets with his decaying limbs flailing around, occasionally making him fall over and things like that. That would caught the public's imagination, or at least mine. In fact, they should do that for all state funerals, including Princess Di's and everyone else's.

Argue politics all you want, but when I take over the planet, I intend to make it pointless to argue.

One party system. All mine. Bow down now and get it over with.
