Scottish and Welsh Elections
Created | Updated Apr 11, 2002
Can somebody tell me why, after we went out and democratically voted in a new parliament in Scotland, and an Assembly in Wales, the politicians are now getting together to discuss how it will be run, who will have the power, and whether one party will take control? I thought that's what we had done by exercising our democratic right to vote? Why did we bother? Why didn't they just do this in the first place? Does it matter how we vote anymore? It seems not! If there is no clear majority, then doesn't that reflect that there is no clear consensus amongst the people. Don't the politicians, our representatives, have to live with that? If they wanted to all work together why did they bother with an election in the first place? Just a bit of a ramble at 7.40am this morning!
