Holyrood election - May 2016 - amuir - 31-12-2015
I have been dissatisfied for many years in the way Scotland is run so I will be standing as an independent in the Dumbarton constituency in May. My wife Claire stood as an independent in the Westminster election in 2015 and got 503 votes.
Alan Reid is standing as a Liberal candidate in the adjoining constituency of Argyll & Bute and we have both been submitting letters to the local papers recently about relevant issues.

I got 641 votes, Alan Reid 7583 – neither of us elected.
I was glad I stood - got a platform for my views. Hopefully others will change things now they have listened.
