Letters / No representation
Could I ask Alistair Carmichael how he intends to represent the large percentage of his electorate who object to the Viking Energy wind farm?
Pointing out his delight at his fellow Liberal Democrat’s (Ed Davey) decision to back island wind farms he declared “he had lobbied hard behind the scenes for this to happen”.
He told BBC Radio Shetland: “This is an issue on which I have campaigned since I was first elected to parliament.”
I had naively assumed that MPs were paid to represent all their constituents, not just some, and I now realise that with regards to the wind farm, I and many others have no representation either in Edinburgh or Westminster.
