| I must admit that I agree with Helen Eadie MSP reasoning behind not introducing Proportional Representation in the next round of Local Government Elections. I can remember the look of confusion on peoples faces at the Scottish Parliament Elections last year. Voters were faced with ballot papers containing some sixteen or more names for selection of list MSPs in addition to this the electorate had another ballot paper to complete regarding a vote for first past the post MSP. Why have two MSPs with different policies representing one group of people? Constituencies are larger than electoral wards, how many councillors will we have representing a small area? Too many, one is sufficient and more effective. Have you ever known of a group of people all agreeing to the same thing? NO. Name & address withheld |
Well, I must say £450Million is a heck of a lot of money to spend on one building, does it have gold taps in the public toilets? Does it have a five star restaurant to feed its inhabitants with gold rimmed crockery and gold cutlery? Will it be serving free Champagne all day every day as part of a goodwill gesture? Will it be supplying its visitors with chauffeur driven limousines to ferry them from one building to the next? If not, we have been had!! Where is Guy Fawkes???? Mr McFinnie, address given |
Call centres appear to be the trend nowadays, Banks no longer wish to speak to their customers face to face, Insurance and Utility companies follow the same line. Why? Are they operating in this environment because they sell there customers below standard goods and require somewhere to hide from the masses, or is it down to economics and giving the share holder a larger piece of the cake. Personally I think it is because of the below standard goods syndrome. If I am wrong then I welcome all these businesses to show how customer care should really be handled i.e. face to face, in an open and honest environment. I think the shareholders will gain from this approach. Cathy Horne, Corstorphine, Edinburgh |
