Comment on They should have stood for election by Alison Bourne

I couldn’t agree more! I don’t think CRAG understand that it is we, the public, who would be expected to pay for this dismal tramline, over and above the £545 million already budgetted for it.

Thankfully, none of the Scottish Parliamentary candidates seem to support CRAG’s view.

Comment on SOB – Save Our Buses by Jack Anderson

Jack Anderson — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 09:28:42 +0000

Since 2 September more has been reported of the buses being taken under the umbrella of TEL to help cross subsidise the Tram Project. This is real sleight of hand as the Tram Project will be a drain for longer than the four year period conjered up to justify the merger.
The city needs to organise opposition to the plan to stop the project altogether.
So far it seems that people behind the project are in self denial of its viability and local democracy which would overwhelmingly been ignore would draw a line under the whole Tram Project and not waste any more resources on it

Edinburgh needs an Independent Councillor like Mev Brown, and the STV voting system has ensured that there are Independent Councillors in most Councils in Scotland.

The by-election is using the Single Transferable Vote form of proportional representation.

That means you can vote for one, some or all of the candidates by ranking them between 1 and up to 7.

One benefit of this system is that every vote counts, and counts against the party or candidate(s) that you don’t vote for.

For example, if there is 1, 2 or 3 candidates you really don’t want to win, you can vote for everybody else in order of your personal preference, and all of those votes will count against the candidate or parties you don’t want to win.
