I am not a politician first or foremost, but a mother, daughter,partner,neighbour,lawyer. In each of these roles trust, honesty and respect are required. If I pretend to be someone or to want something which is false and am thereby outed as dishonest I expect to lose that trust.
In fact my dishonesty deserves that loss. So if as an amateur politician, scunnered with the professionals and their approach, I nod and smile to those of a different Independence supporting party, I expect a nod, an acknowledgement, maybe even a daft wee smile.
It wasn't expected that other Independence supporting real politicians from other parties would blank me in Arbroath last weekend; a one legged woman immortal, bionic and who can shout, isn't invisible, no matter how much certain males may hope so.
