Agreed, but the rest of Salmond's fiscal policy is seriously flawed.

Much as it pains be to admit it, and much as I am hugely patriotic, Scotland is highly unlikely to be better off if the SNP obtain control.

SNP appears to claim we'd be £4.6bn better off but Independent reports suggest we'd be £0.7bn worse off......

Hmmmmmmm I wonder where the truth lies

PS. Salmond = nearly as bad as Gordon Brown

///\oo/\\\

Indeed. Salmond's calculations are fundimentally flawed. He's an intelligent guy, for sure, so I doubt he got it wrong by mistake.

yup we do tel. green sulo for garden, black sulo for household (excluding paper, tin, glass etc hat go in the recycle boxes).

personally i find two-weekly OK, but then again, we haven't got kids and we live in the sticks - i just crush the bags down with a rake and sit on the lid if we overflow. excess packaging is a big problem as hutton said. so wasteful, it's absurd. i reckon our non-recyclable waste output would be halved with sensible packaging. to be honest, one of those mini household bin bag compactors might not be a bad idea.

i just resent how my waste collection services have been reduced while my council tax has risen. it doesn't magically make us recycle more as we were recycling as much as we reasonably could anyway. the weekly waste load was smaller on weekly collection but at least it didn't become a festering broth.

i can understand how much a problem smell and vermin can become in terraced city streets where many bins are in very close proximity and i suspect this whole thing is much more of a hot potato in built-up areas.

As above, no one has been around our area. And they get pissed off when there is a poor turn out. They want our votes they need to sell their ideas to us. But if they can not be arsed, why should we. Although I think thats what some local offices want, easy pickings and all that.
As to who, well there all the bloody same arent they

You seem to be missing "Spoil ballot paper" Quite an interesting site about why doing this is preferable to not voting at all, I'll see if I can find the link.

There's no option for "can't vote".
We've had polling cards sent to us, then another (one each) to say that it is uncontested so there won't be a vote.
Add up the cost of printing cards and postal costs in the whole district for a total non event.
Still, If I'd voted then a year down the line I would have regretted it' so there is some joy in this I suppose.

It is a mistake not to bother to vote. Better to put a cross for someone like the UKIP candidate who at least wants to stand up for this country against the Eu Federation ambitions for complete control over us in all respects.

Not voting does no good at all. A vote as above at sends a strong message to the other parties that they had better sort their ideas out since they don't impress us in the least! One party for their disastrous behaviour in nearly every respect, another for its half baked and useless so called solutions, and the other for not even being able to show us which direction they would take if in power and if the leader really wants to be a Billy Boy clone!
