Blog Information

Mary Reid's political activities are motivated by a single theme: the importance of strong opposition.


Her experience shines through, whether it's talking about local politics or the issues facing the country.


There are some pretty hefty posts here, on the implementation of this or that; but we're relieved and as interested by the lighter items.


And it's good to know when the local fun day is happening, of course.
