Resign!


One of the more peculiar suggestions to arise out of the Scottish independence debate in that David Cameron, the Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader, should resign if Scotland votes Yes on 18 September 2014.

Now if you ask me, Cameron has shown real leadership on the question of a referendum by agreeing to hold one in the first place and putting the issue to the Scottish people.

 Which is a lot more than his immediate predecessor, Gordon Brown, was prepared to do while he was in No. 10 Downing Street with an overall majority of MPs in the House of Commons.

Yet Gordon, the sometime MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, is now being recast as a 'star striker' for the Better Together campaign despite the fact that he ducked the issue when he had the perfect opportunity to put it to the test.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
