The SNP has always had two faces - urban labour and a rural tory one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6626#post-71149 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:51:41 +0000 Uberuce 71149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wait, what? SNP and Conservative? What next? The Buffy Party and Nosferatu Democrats? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6626#post-71148 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:08:52 +0000 sallyhinch 71148@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have started drafting a letter to the new D&amp;G unholy alliance of the SNP &amp; Conservatives. Having looked at their manifesto, the tories fail to mention cycling, active travel, walking or anything other than spending 50 million on more roads, whereas the SNP manifesto was enthusiastically promising to spend Sustrans's money on cycling but none of the council's. So I'm not hopeful but we did get 5 of them out on bikes (mostly Tories, strangely enough) so maybe things will change. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6626#post-71136 Fri, 18 May 2012 17:10:01 +0000 chdot 71136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2012/05/new-councils" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2012/05/new-councils</a> </p>
