(Well I won't go into that). It would be Scotland's first Parliament for 700 years.

its the first Parliament for 292 years and they do a better job than some would've have thought with regards to keeping certain hospitals and a&e`s open in the central belt

Thanks for that skauwt, an over sight on my part.
I ment to say since the act of union 1707 and not 700 years.

Yes the Parliament has been not bad, but has made a few mistakes as well. Closing down schools, hospitals departments, relocating vital health centres.
On the whole, it's good for Scotland to have its own Parliament.

i shouldve pointed out the snp did not bad with the keeping of certain hospitals in my area open and the go ahead for the much needed upgrade for the roads m8 but under labour rule they` d have had been closed/stopped for near enough no reason at all
as for the building well its only a shell(a expensive shell) its the folk inside it that matter

Being that this topic is the "Scottish Parliament" we should keep our comments
aimed at our own "Government".

I would say on the whole that it has done well and it certainly has the interests of Scotland more at heart than can be done from London.

There have though been some overwhelming incidences of nannyism by over righteous health nuts who think that the only answer to a perceived problem is to ban it.
