Alasdair opposes environmental improvement

Poor Alasdair Morrison - he can't see a coalition agreemnt without trying to wreck it. Mike Pringle's bill proposing the creation of a plastic bag tax to reduce usage was undermined by Alasdair in a fit of pique and self-promotion.

This isn't the first time that Alasdair has misused the Committee system, withness his other attempt to subvert the Public Petitions process.

It is unfortunate that a policy which has worked so well in Eire is so despised by Alasdair that he feels the need to ridicule his allies, but that says more about Alasdair than anything else.

Next time I see a plastic bag stuck on barbed wire I know who to blame.
