Having had the misfortune to be forced to stay indoors for the past few days, I decided to do a little research regarding the Euro elections on Thursday. All of my friends will vote, although one is hesitant, but remember the vast number questioned by me are all in the 50+ age group and more likely to vote than any other group. My wee survey was answered by all who telephoned or visited to ask after my wellbeing and the number was 15. Hopefully Jeff will be impressed.
My questions did not include 'which party will you vote for' but were about the EU in general. A few of the main points raised were:
1 Why do we stay in the EU when we're unhappy with the fishing policies and fishing is one of our main industries?
2 We need a referendum on the EU.
3. The Council of Europe looks far more appropriate for Scotland.
4. What does an MEP actually do? I've asked mine and what he said had no meaning at all.
Of course the matter of MPs, MEPs and councillors expenses came up during our chats and it was agreed by all that any political person who wishes to put themselves up for election, should provide a detailed CV along with or included in their election material.

Heh.
A detailed CV, and a receipt for the photocopier bill.
Oh Conan, how could you think that? And of course Photoshop is easy so I believe. Being on a Mac I never doctor my photos because I can't afford the software!
