Edinburgh As A Capital City


Recommended Posts

Interesting debate on GMS earlier between Andrew Wilson (SNP) and Ian Murray (Lab).

Andrew Wilson - Edinburgh will flourish as a European capital city to rival Vienna, Stockholm, Copenhagen etc. Increase in diplomatic and government jobs, saving in cost of London government offices.

Ian Murray - New government jobs will be offset by 1000s of losses in financial services and academia due to funding cuts. Edinburgh would become too much of a focal point of power in Scotland.

Given current opinion polls from Edinburgh it would appear the electorate side with Murray?...
