Mr Smith read with interest the report of the Electoral Commission on the amounts spent by Scotland's smaller political parties in May's elections to try and win seats in the Scottish Parliament.
By far the most amazing aspect of the report was the fact that Scottish Voice, the political party set up by Archie Stirling, spent £21.06 winning each of the 8,782 votes the party managed to get, in a campaign which cost £185,000 in total, and they didn't get one MSP elected.
It just goes to show that Scotland is definitely not the best democracy money can buy.
