What delightful news (from a rare glimpse of an, immediate release, SNP press release):
The MP for Perth and North Perthshire, Pete Wishart, has today [Wednesday] seized on divisions within the Perthshire Conservatives after the dramatic entry of the former Conservative candidate, Douglas Taylor, into the race for the seat.
In addition, Perth SNP has been leaked a letter penned by Mr Taylor, written to a number of Conservative activists, which outlines his many grave concerns about the state of the current Tory party and its failure on key issues. He expressed concern at the fact that those allowed to be candidates for target Scottish seats were determined by a central committee that was made up exclusively of people from south of the border who did not have experience of Scottish politics. He stated that this adversely affected almost all of the experienced Scottish candidates.
Infighting, split vote, 'not what I signed up for', decisions taken down South. It has it all.
No wonder the Conservatives can't break through the 20% mark in Scotland.

Jeff,
So that's a 'hold' SNP is it?
He makes a good point though, and one that has been made before by Tories (New Right in particular). The decisions are made in England, by people who have never even been to Scotland...
That's them showing us respect.
You really wouldn't credit some of these people.....
The Conservative Party in Scotland have to split and form a separate centre-right party.
Being run by the English branch has been extremely detrimental for them.
