I am the Scottish Socialist Party spokesperson, former MSP for the Lothians. A founder member of the SSP I have been a political activist for 30 years. I am the Scottish Socialist Party candidate for Liberton/Gilmerton ward in the forthcoming Edinburgh City Council elections.
As your Pirate Party opponent in the Liberton/Gilmerton by-election, I was interested to read your election literature. Unfortunately it contains a factual inaccuracy about me.
You say "To defend and improve our Council services not slash them as all the other parties propose". But this is not true, at least for me. I don't propose to cut council spending. In fact I have a fully-worked out plan that would allow Edinburgh council to prevent any spending cuts that would otherwise happen, while at the same time building 9000 affordable homes a year and creating 6000 new jobs for Edinburgh workers. The details are here.
