Defending the indefensible...

I see that SNP List MSP Stuart McMillan has defended the Scottish Government's decision to cut funding for Riverside Inverclyde by 70%: talk about defending the indefensible.

I thought that the job of a list MSP was to lobby on behalf of the region he/she represents rather than simply be an apologist for his/her political party.

While the Scottish Government's funding may have been cut there is still a huge budget to allocate and Mr McMillan should be arguing for Inverclyde to get its fair share. It is clear in this case that we are not getting our fair share and that funding that should have been allocated to the four Urban Regeneration Companies is going elsewhere, with Inverclyde suffering most.

Go on Stuart: be a man for once and stand up to be counted.

For once, can you not put the interests of the people you purport to represent before loyalty to the party?
