A People's Parliament?


I was very interested to read about an excellent speech made by Iain Gray MSP about the future of devolution. You can read the speech here, I was quite taken with the quote from Donald Dewar which Iain focused on. Donald Dewar said at the start of the first session of the Scottish Parliament, 'We are fallible. We will make mistakes. But we will never lose sight of what brought us here:the striving to do right by the people of Scotland; to respect their priorities; to better their lot; and to contribute to the commonwealth.' Donald was talking about the Scottish Parliament but his words are equally applicable to the work of Dundee City Council or the House of Commons. The picture shows Iain Gray and myself out and about in the West End.
