For what it's worth I'm thoroughly in favour of independence but even more in favour of the trams - so in the elections I found myself having to vote against the SNP with all three votes. Very annoying. Thank goodness for Margo though, she has sense.

About the airport rail link - remember the whole point of it is that it links the airport to all the cities and towns round about, NOT just to Edinburgh. Trains will go direct to the airport from Fife, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth, all over the place. It's amazing how many people seem to miss that.

Ah, sunk costs, good old Advanced Finance taught me those well.

I do take your point but they can't be completely ignored just because the money is already spent. I like to think about extremes.

If 97% of the costs had been spent, you could still call them "sunk costs" and scrap the project. Of course, chances are, spending the extra 3% will be well worth your while whatever the project is.

And if 0.01% of the money had been spent then of course it's an easy factor to ignore.

So somewhere between this 0.01% and 95% you get a grey area where you can argue the case either way. I think 13.3% is a sufficiently high figure that you can't so easily dismiss it as a "sunk cost".

Especially given that it's our money and not a private sector project (a factor so often overlooked!)

Good post, although I do not agree with point two. Money already spent is a sunk cost. You can't do anything about it. You can only control future -- not past -- expenditure, so the decision should not hinge on past expenditure.

Then again, if you are using my sole opinion as a sample, then you have 100% of Edinburgh residents who would rather not have them ;)

But you're right. Those that are against them, probably aren't that fussed either way (for example, me). Those that are in favour are probably more enthusiastic about it.

Basically, if you want a good barometer of what Edinburgh people in general want, just see which way Margo McDonald is voting ;)

Re point 4 - if even folk who are against the tramline think it must nonetheless be built (e.g. you) then support must be pretty high.
