I warmly welcome the news that Scottish Lib Dem Leader Willie Rennie will reposition the Scottish Lib Dems on minimum pricing of alcohol. The party opposed it in the last Holyrood parliament, much to the discomfort of many activists including me.
I have said on a number of occasions that the smoking ban was Holyrood’s finest hour but the collective failure to act on alcohol across party lines was its biggest shame.
Now we will have a consensus in favour of this vital preventative health issue and Willie has ensured that the Lib Dems will be part of that.

Of course Paul you can't say a majority of members of the party, only a large number, because it was the minority stance at party conference when it was put to the vote.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Stephen. I didn't say a majority I said "many activists".
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you?
