Where are our MSPs?

If there was ever a time for our local and regional MSP’s to step up… it could have been now! A bill aptly called “Save Local Libraries”. So how many of our local and regional MSP’s ‘supported’ it? (SPOILER: ONE)

Only ONE person supported it. Paul Sweeney from Labour.

Absolutely astounded by the results of this. Do labour support this cause as a party? Only 20% of them could support this bill?

No Shows for record:

Humza Yousaf – Labour – OUR LOCAL MSP!!!!

Pam Duncan-Glancy – Labour

Pauline McNeill – Labour

Anas Sarwar – Labour

Patrick Harvie – Greens

Sandesh Gulhane – Conservatives

Annie Wells – Conservatives

My Local Labour MP Alison Taylor on Cardonald Library #2

I thought I would provide an update to my post in November with my correspondance with my Local MP.

I received an email back in November, but have since not heard a peep in over 2 months.

The original response I received included a letter Alison had received back from Glasgow Life. The letter was dated 3rd October, I received a copy of mid November. The letter advised they were awaiting a funding decision on the library but also hoped a temporary solution could be found. Alison advised she would follow up.

Since then, i have not heard anything. I have emailed 3 times. I asked if she would show support and attend a protest (twice). I also asked if she received a response from Glasgow City Council.

I think its fair to say, I dont expect to have to follow up my MP multiple times. Dissapointing.
