I have been thinking about creating a blog for some very considerable time, but only now have I managed to bite the bullet and actually get on with it.
The inspiration for this little corner of the world wide web is taken from one of the best political movies of all time, Frank Capra's 1939 classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. This blog is intended to inform, to question, to highlight those little contradictions which make Scottish politics such an interesting thing to watch, but most of all to live up to the central tenet of wide eyed idealist Mr Smith that "the only causes worth fighting for are the lost causes."
Scottish politics has never been so exciting, so different, so very "new." This blog hopes to add a little flavour to the debate.
Enjoy the ride.
