Yes he has been around a long time and held onto his convictions throughout yet he's also friendly with people across the political spectrum. Not to mention he is a unionist who gives the SNP just as hard a time as the Tories and Labour. All things to respect.

It's a sad indictment of the Electoral Commission and of the terrible apathy of the electorate in general. The only saving grace for me is that there will be general election this year. Let's hope we wake up before then.
