Politicians should stop insulting the voters

Sir, - Once again we have witnessed a Conservative Prime Minister ably assisted by his sidekick-in Scotland harp on about a one-party state.

Do these two not understand that these kind of statements are offensive to the majority of the Scottish electorate?

As someone who believes in the democratic process and the right to vote for the person of your choice, I find this kind of talk insulting.

At the last election there were many names on the ballot paper and the fact that the majority of people, some 50%, put their mark for the SNP confirms the process worked at least in Scotland.

The Scottish election is due very shortly under a different and more representative system.

Should people again put their trust in the SNP as the polls suggest, can the other political parties and commentators please stop insulting Scottish people.

These negative comments put forward by Ruth Davidson, Kezia Dugdale and Willie Rennie say more about their inability to challenge the SNP.

They should take a good look at themselves before engaging in insulting the electorate and make their arguments without insulting the people of this country.

It will do their cause no good and will, in all probability, make them look absolutely out of touch with the reality of modern Scotland.
