Message | We consequently support devolution, but proposed changes altering the government's position to none cannot be supported by us. In particular, Article 7 is a no-go inasmuch as it cuts the human rights. |

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
