A Political Shambles?

My thoughts on the Edinburgh tram project are well known - in summary here (but do follow those links therein!) ...

... and equally, my thoughts on the current Council Coalition are hardly secret - my most recent ramblings on this issue are probably here.

And if you need an exemplar of how these two topics collide, then just cast your eye over this article from yesterday's local newspaper ...

... surely, even if you're opposed to the tram project, you have to concede that this type of 'political' response is doing nothing but damage to Edinburgh?

Its just very hard to see how a truly difficult political decision can be made on anything in this current (and obvious) climate of mistrust between the local Coalition partners ...
