    Be tougher on benefit cheats,disability a huge cost to many not deserving.
    Be tougher on legal aid claimants and scrap the right to appeal convictions for all convicted,it's just a cash cow for lawyers.
    Actually think of what the majority of people are pissed of about and deal with it.
    I'm hoping labour defeat SNP up here as the current gov are hopeless.

    The SNP actively encourage people applying for disability benefit, there is an army of folk paid to help get it, it's far easier to get on ADP in Scotland than PIP in England and Wales......and then there is only a light touch review in 5 years.

    Around a fifth of Scots claim a disability......around 8% are on the main disability benefit so plenty scope for the benefit bill in Scotland to be increased.

    I suspect that SNP will do nothing in next two years then a Scottish labour govt will align itself with UK labour govt and the SNP will be able to blame big bad labour instead of big bad Tories for folk getting cut off.

    The SNP continually blame whoever is in power at Westminster instead of taking the blame for their own incompetence at running the Scottish Government.

    Steal it.

    Nothing will happen except possible store ban
