Pot holes in our roads, Still being ripped off at the petrol stations (Thurso End). Centralization in Inverness, Dounreay slowly disappearing, Lack of investment in the County, and C.A.S.E. who will probably invest any money in a new woollen mill, the whole system seems to me, to be incompetent. This is just a few items, I would like to hear your views, it might just excite me enough to go down the polling station one more time, in the hope it might do some good.
Regardless of who sits in Scottish power, the thing is, all our troubles are purely geographical rather than political. With the best political will in the world, no financial accountant can justify spending a lot of money on the other geographical half of Scotland that is 200 miles away and whose residents can comfortably be seated in Old Trafford Park.
I think Independence will change things for the worse as there will be less money to spend on public services. Do you think the SNP grandees will care about the ones out of sight and mind?
As for windfarms, it seems SNP and Libdems will provide an even more open licence to raping the Highlands with turbines.
You don't know what you had until it is gone.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
