SNP fails in BBC debate court bid. ∞
I am amazed to say that I agree with the Lib Dem, Labour and Conservative statements quoted on the BBC news article — this was a colossal waste of time and money. There are many better things the £50,000 could have been spent on — the only winners from this are the lawyers —again!
A debate held in Scotland between the leaders of the parties including the SNP, concentrating on Scottish issues would be a valuable thing — for people in Scotland. Likewise, similar debates in Wales including Plaid Cymru, and with the Irish parties in Northern Ireland.
Granted, many of the issues covered in the national debates don’t actually apply to Scotland, but we should be used to that by now…
Not that I will be watching anyway.
