Good day, bad day
GOOD DAY: TOMMY SHERIDAN
The controversial Scottish Socialist Party leader received a boost from an opinion poll showing that he could be joined in the Scottish Parliament by up to eight MSPs. In the last parliament, Mr Sheridan was the sole SSP MSP. Yesterday’s poll put the SSP on 6 per cent.
BAD DAY: JIM WALLACE
The leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats experienced a setback when it was disclosed that his party had been forced to withdraw support from a council candidate in Edinburgh who owed thousands of pounds in unpaid council tax - which would have stopped him carrying out his duties had he been elected.
