I WAS in hysterics laughing when I read Murdo Fraser wishes the Scottish Parliament to reform. Since Ross and his performing seals became the official opposition they have done more to discredit Holyrood than any other party. The Tory performing seals have managed to turn Holyrood into a bigger joke than Westminster.
That Tory cabal’s total contribution to Scottish society is oink oink SNP bad clap clap clap. A total joke.

“Tory MSP Fraser in bid to ‘reform’ Scottish Parliament with think tank paper” (May 13).
Let’s take back control over our parliament, starting with a rule that all parties and candidates taking part in Scottish elections must be registered, located, funded and controlled within the jurisdiction of the Holyrood parliament.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
