Journalists seem to have already decided May election

The Editor
The Scotsman

16/02/2007

Sir,

Have I missed something? Has the election already happened? Surely we need to actually wait for the results before deciding that a majority of independence supporting MSP's won't happen? The SNP are running very high in the polls and could easily be the biggest party. The Scottish Socialist Party and Greens traditionally actually poll much better than their poll rankings. Sheridan's Solidarity is well organised and has the most powerful speaker in Scottish politics at its helm.

The Scotsman's current editorial stance seems to have been inherited from Andrew Neil, an individual who has never had any keen interest in Scotland and has always (like many others) been dazzled by the power of Westminster.

The fact no-one wants to positively back the union on your website might be an indication that you are backing the wrong horse.

Why remain in thrall to London rule? Why not put Scotland first? Like the Scottish people, what do you really have to lose?

Yours faithfully,

Joe Middleton

So you're a Labour man, what a shock! You're losing the argument and when it's as badly phrased as yours, no wonder.
