2012 Wish List

CBI Scotland director Iain McMillan has said today that the Scottish Government must direct its entire energy to rebuilding the economy, according to the BBC News website. Calton couldn't agree more and would therefore like to add the following to his New Year's wishlist:
  • Alex Salmond to concentrate on the Scottish economy instead of point-scoring against the Westminster Government.
  • The whole Scottish Parliament to forget about redefining marriage, legalising assisted suicide and other bills which, quite frankly, have far too much time spent on them when you take into account how few people they will benefit.
  • The SNP to stop thinking that the basket-case which is now Europe is going to be the answer to Scotland's economic problems.
  • Labour to stop thinking that a large public sector is a good thing.
