DISAPPOINTED after an incredibly positive campaign! The words of Scottish Conservative MP Andrew Bowie the day after the Conservatives lost two by-elections in England to the Labour Party. Those sentiments are breathtaking and so arrogant, yet not surprising from Mr Bowie MP, who going by those results will be looking for new employment after the next Westminster election.

Here in Scotland the recent by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West saw the Conservatives lose their deposit – in other words, they did not secure 5% of the vote. The message from voters in recent by-elections sends a message to the Westminster government: no more lies and sleaze, no more austerity cuts while the rich are getting richer, and no more jobs for the boys at the country’s expense.
Unfortunately for voters, the Labour Party are not a credible alternative, only promising and committing to more of the same.

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!
