I read a newspaper report which said 'if Blair is still leading the Labour Party next year, the the Scottish Nationalists may well win a majority at the Scottish Assembly. What's the local opinion on this?
Do you think this might have ramifications for incoming settlers/ homebuyers/second home owners*
I'd doubt it myself, as Scots seem to run England at the moment, by and large. That's fine with me, though I wish they'd make a better job of it.
Is Nationalism very big in the far north?
*I read also that a part of the Cairngorm National Park has imposed a three year residency rule on anyone buying a house in the area. What chance extension to other parts? Wouldn't the market collapse? I can see the sense in this but surely the key is to build more affordable homes for those in the community that have real world jobs and real world wages - like me!
There is plenty of flipping room, lots of water etc. etc.What's stoppin' em?
(due to my incompetence this got posted under a different thread - thanks for the reply Rheghead) Any more?
