This is a thread about politics. Iffy subject I know but my intention is not to make any personal comments but to illustrate how politicians truly do take us for fools.
First off, have a butchers at this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14778353
To say the Conservative Party have not fared too well north of the border since 1997 would be an understatement. So the likely new leader of the party in Jockland has come up with a solution:
Ya don't say? That public school education was worth every penny wasn't it?
But Mr Murdo Fraser (almost a good Scottish name but 'Murdo' sounds like some new brand of toilet cleaner) says this:
Well excuse me Mr Fraser but seems to me what you're saying there is every vote for this new fangled party is actually a vote to support the Conservatives in Westminster who would then dictate policy in all corners from Dumfries to Aberdeen and beyond.
Just how stupid do you think the public are?
I can just imagine the debate in Murdo's office 'It seems the Scots don't like our policies so how are we to gain their votes?'
'I know, create a new party similar to the Lib-Dems and get them to vote for us but actually we're Tories in disguise'.
'Ha ha, brilliant, young Tobias, help yourself to a sherbet lemon'
Politicians, the cream of our intelligentsia.
