Letters / They are not getting my vote

Contributed

After the recent news that the government has decided to make all ferry fares the same low rate all year round, why has it only been now when their SNP member has asked for it when all other parties have been wanting this for years.

Is this a case that by doing so this might help them get more votes from the Northern Isles?

If so, I’m afraid they will still not be getting my vote.
