David Maddox: What's good for the councillor is not good for the MP
The Tories have just put out an interesting press release on the announcement by two Nationalist MSPs, Bill Kidd and John Wilson, that they are to step down as councillors in Glasgow and North Lanarkshire.
Apparently they do not believe they can do both jobs to a high enough standard.
A similar decision was taken by North East SNP MSP Nigel Don when he won his seat and opted to resign as a Dundee councillor. Stefan Tymkewycz took the opposite decision and gave up being a list MSP to remain as a Edinburgh city councillor.
"But what about Alex Salmond?" ask the Tories.
He still continues to be the largely absentee (from Westminster) MP for Banff and Buchan as well as the MSP for Gordon and, of course, First Minister.

I think it's about time you changed the record, David.
No-one cared about this 2 years ago. No-one cares now.
Er, no Sean, I think you're slightly mistaken there. It's not that people don't care about this, it's that the SNP don't want people to care about it.
Boab,
His constituents only care that he represents them properly and looks after their interests.
Apparently he does.
