++ Blog Exclusive: Green Candidate ++

My sources have pointed me in the direction of a scoop.

The Scottish blogosphere's very own James MacKenzie, of Two Doctors fame, has been selected by the Scottish Green Party to contest the constituency of East Lothian at the upcoming Westminster election.

Unlike the news article above, I'm going to try and report this news without any mistakes (one Green MSP? Robin Harper still leader?! I ask you! And they have James down as 37 - he's not a day over 25!). That's him on the right in the photo above.

Anyway, cracking news. James will be an excellent candidate for the party - and, given the difficulties some parties (Labour in particular) have had in the constituency, he may fancy his chances there - though it is a big ask.

Best of luck to him - and indeed to the other potential blogosphere MPs.

"[Malc] isn't scared of the Tartan Tory tag to be fair, not that he'll thank me publicly for saying it." SNP Tactical Voting (He's wrong - I am scared of it).
