IF one is considered just old enough to vote at 18 is 20 not too young to be an effective MP?

Nicola Sturgeon spent many years striving to become an MP. Mhairi Black is not the only person to have called for a unified opposition.

Yes Mhairi managed to beat Douglas Alexander in the general election but in all probability the electorate there would have voted for the Avon lady had she been wearing an SNP rosette.

None of the 56 backbench SNP MPs can legislate.

Finding an alternative solution to cuts is key.

Scotland has fine whisky, quality salmon, some tourism, along with a fluctuating oil economy but can ‘she’ stand alone?
