POLITICS:- does it put money into your pocket or disproportionately take it away?
The issue of Scottish Independence is over for the time being, but leaving a legacy of greater voter participation in future elections- maybe. For we shall have to see what transpires in the months leading up to next May. The last week of the 'Independence vote' saw frenetic activity to ensure that a win would be forthcoming to which ever side wanted it most. The Prime Minister, David Cameron said that it was one of his most anxious times. Hopefully the message that political parties need to up their game so that a high turn will follow their activity will occur.
At The Conservative Party Conference this week saw a passionate and emotional well structured speech superbly delivered to the 'party faithful'. That's good, but what would it do for other voters? Their were lots of promises and we now know what they intend to do. We will have to see what will be able to come to fruition.
It appears that a referendum and abdications to UKIP has stirred the oratory capabilities of leading Government ministers with more to follow? It is a shame that the party in opposition has been so poor and underperforming as any party in office needs strong challenges. I shall follow the progress of the election trail from Glasgow on Monday with The Liberal Democrats. Let's see how robust they can be and how Nick Clegg does. I will be looking forward to the next PMQ's and to see how Ed Miliband responds to Cameron's attack on him and his party.
Do you think that personal attacks are deeply felt or that arrogance and the clichéd thick skin keeps the worst out? Maybe it is all in a day's work!
