Apathy ruled though on the online poll, with just 62 people making the mouse click required. The result was an overwhelming victory for the SSP, with a late surge for the Green Party just edging Labour into third position.

So will this be mirrored in the election results tonight? Unlikely, but the SSP deserve credit for participating in the forum and arguing their case with passion - something sadly lacking in mainstream politics nowadays.

This website gives info about major environmental issues and what politicians can do about them. Here's an example to tempt you to look at the website and do something too. Basic steps politicians can take to improve the environment are given eg:

"Clean air
ACT NOW: Reduce road traffic levels 10% by 2010. Tackle air pollution and climate change by redirecting at least two thirds of the £900 million planned for road-building to public transport, walking and cycling.

Why?

Air pollution, mainly from vehicle exhausts, kills more people in Scotland than die in road accidents. Too much traffic divides communities and degrades the environment, in rural as well as urban areas. Less traffic would mean fewer air pollution deaths, less congestion, less climate change, less social exclusion and less wildlife killed. "

Given we are fighting a huge increase in our traffic levels if this crazy super/megastore (4/5ths size of Asda in our little community) plan does get the go ahead (not if we can help it), these issues are very important for us to drum home to our politicians......

or just turn up and have a chat .....

We need to use this election, if nothing else, as a referendum on the war - the SSP has been consistently anti war - before, during the beginning and now during the occupation (continued war) of Iraq

see the SSP website for more info at www.scottishsocialistparty.org/

We also have our usual stall on Porty High St at 11am - 12.30 each Saturday and on Musselburgh High St 12noon Sats - come and chat to us then.......Carla

Seriously though, Epykat, party politics aside I've watched Carolyn over the years and have seen her speak a few times and this wasn't the impression I got. She is a midwife for starters, which is not for the faint hearted - and led a successful strike against low pay for a group of NHS workers in the employ of some faceless multinational or other.

Never mind your thoughts on whether privatisation is good or bad (duh !!!) or whether solidarity in the face of low pay is good or bad (er......) to be able to lead a strike like that takes strength that not everyone has.

You're welcome to call her a sidekick of Tommy. It makes me smile because I've seen her talk at a few conferences and if I were to choose a sidekick I think I'd choose someone who would do as they were told and owed their allegiance to me.

So what were you basing your analysis on?
