SO the Nats picked up all the three local seats at the General Election.

I must say I was a little surprised that the chap who was suspended from the SNP, Neale Hanvey, managed to beat Lesley Laird.

I would seem that the suspension and Nicola Sturgeon's orders that party workers should not support him were ignored.

However, it will be interesting to see how he settles into the job and how he represents Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath as a whole.
