HEALTHY DEMOGRAPHICS

You thought it could not get worse? It just did!

You thought it could not get worse? It just did! The SNP today is a pale shadow of the SNP after the 2015 General Election. Then a United Party and Yes Movement enjoyed all the momentum and a determined electorate anxious to sort out the disappointment of the 2014 Referendum. The result was 56 outContinue reading “You thought it could not get worse? It just did!”
