He is a disillusioned tory.<br /><br />Also he gains his knowledge about Scottish politics from the likes of our blogs.<br /><br />The SNP don't use 'yellow' they use a mix of green and yellow. If you care I will find the pantone number for you. It is quite different from the liberal yellow.<br /><br />As you know I'm not pro the SNP's desperation to belong to the EU or join the euro. I do hope we have an open and honest debate about these issues here in Scotland before our own election next year.<br /><br />If we don't then, if my peer group are anything to go by, the SNP will come off badly. My generation are the ones who can be relied upon to vote so we matter - although we don't in the present GE.
