In some ways it is easy below the border with govenment and politics than up here. The layout is still the same bar a few oddities so you have your Bourgh and County (unless its like Blackpool) and know were and what remits comeunder each. Sadly I have the local council which took all responsibility for the former regional councils and run them themselves. I also have the "House of Tubes" ie Holyrood which can complicate things more as just because the same party is in power on both sides of the border. I need to wiegh up what each party would do for Scotland if in power as well as a representative in the Commons who is there for the sake of Scotland and the none devolved powers issues.

Just because I might vote for one party in Hollyrood dosnt mean I follow the same at Westminster. I believe votes should be used to obtain whats best for your community and therefore do so. What issues ignite in a local area are not the same as national and therefore there can be differences that require a different vote. Sorry but following, as some do, a party because members of their family always did or do is like beeing a sheep and does not help matters in the long term.

It all comes down to what you believe and having the mental toughness to stand by these beliefs. That is reguardless of political campaigns or peer pressure.
