Rob I agree with you for the most part, it will be interesting to see if they do abolish the bedroom tax and introduce the 50p higher rate tax.
The main problem is they have bitten into a poisoned apple to some extent, as soon as they accept responsibility for the areas under their control eyes will become focussed on how well they are actually doing. Gone will be the blame game, buck passing rhetoric instead they will have to face up to what they will do to sort out the already existing problems. Falling literacy after 8yrs under their governance, Scottish NHS struggling to name but two.
I still can't see how they justify not raising council tax or allowing free prescriptions for all, these two measures alone put strain on an already creaking system, the only logical rational is they are both popular vote winning measures which buy them votes.
Meanwhile why is the First Minister doing a quick visit to the USA when her job is to be at the helm running Scotland not improving her image on the world stage, she has no reason to visit the IMF that's a job for minister for the UK govt. Her recent trip discussing the EU referendum again is not her job much as she might like it to be.
Nicola Sturgeon is First Minister of a devolved government not president of an Independent Scotland.
Yet she is still running around the world stage stoking the independence fire despite the electorate of Scotland giving her a resolute No, how is she working for all the people of Scotland when she is still chasing a dream and threatening another referendum when it feels right.
