The question was posed in today's Herald as to where some of the thirty or so MSPs who failed to be re-elected to the Scottish Parliament in May have gone.
The Herald points out that former SNP, and then Independent, MSP Campbell Martin has turned his attention to cyberspace and is running the3towns.com, an online magazine for the Ayrshire communities of Ardrossan, Saltcoats and Stevenston.
Another of his independently minded colleagues, former MSP for Strathkelvin and Bearsden, Dr Jean Turner, according to the Scotland On Sunday, has been named as the new chief executive of the Scotland Patients Association.
Mr Smith also hears that former Labour MSP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun, Margaret Jamieson, has secured herself a berth working for the new Secretary of State for Defence and Scotland, Des Browne MP.
So who said there wasn't life after the Scottish Parliament?

Campbell martin is giving the three towns of Stevenston,Saltcoats and Ardrossan a bad name.It is horrifying to think that people at home and abroad may believe his vitriolic nonsense.He has absolutely nothing positive to say about the area.Local economy relies heavily on holiday makers and day trippers during the summer months.How offputting must his negative comments be?
