Is Rory Colville still a Lib Dem candidate?

[Tartan Seer]

Rory Colville's claims on his election leaflet have to be seen to be believed - laughingly, they will not - but his failure to mention that he is a Liberal begs the question: are you still standing as a Liberal candidate Rory?

Rory seems to be taking the credit for almost everything that has happened in the last 5 years when, in the real world, much of what he claims to have achieved is the general day-to-day work of council officers in maintaining council assets and almost all of it involved both Donald and I equally as much.

It is deeply disappointing to me when I see specific work I personally was significantly involved with when I was a member of the administration for 3years and 6months, being credited solely to Rory by his own hand.

The next group of councillors elected to work for South Kintyre must be committed to working as a team; locally, in the council, and with MSP's and MP's whatever their hue. One Councillor acting on their own, can achieve very little indeed.

Unless your Rory Colville of course

Three Councillors, from different political persuasions doesn't help either. Such a shame we won't get a chance to vote Nancie McGlynn-Smith in.

Does anyone know if any of the candidates are prepared to join Argyll First if voted in? I like alot of their values and good to see Councillors from different political backgrounds come together for the better of Argyll.

Up here in The Dale for Ward 2 all our candidates are from Tarbert or Islay

Anyone else find the forargyll web address embarrassingly pro snp and just a witch hunt for anything that isnt snp?

Actually to the point it puts me off voting snp.

I spoke to John on this matter and I totally agree with what he is saying. I know that not everything will be agreeable between all councillors but when it comes to local issues they must try and stand firm where possible. Nothing can be achieved if local concillors do not stand together.

As for Argyll First, I have already spoken to Donald Kelly and I have said I would like to join the group is elected.

That was the plan and I'm profoundly sorry it didn't happen. I certainly can't match her in terms of being known, but I know I can match her in commitment to South Kintyre. If elected, Nancie will be the first person I tell.

Rory's leaflet beggars belief. He mentions things that a lot of hard-working people put a huge effort into without ever seeking the limelight, but misses a good few of his own stunts. As a Southender and a member of Argyll Rural Schools Network I sat in Kilmory the day he decided to join Dick Walsh's independents. The chant for hours had been "Save our Schools, Save our Schools," then there was a moment of gobsmacked silence and it changed to "Lib Dems out! Lib Dems out!" I don't see that in the leaflet.

I would be interested in joining Argyll First as the current Council structure for Councillors to influence and vote of decisions is very unfair with some Councillors holding more power than others. I think that most people would expect that their Councillor had a say on all aspects of the Council's business, equal to every other Councillor.

As to working together my university degree and work / volunteer experience is in Community Education, which is specialist training in working with young people, vulnerable people, creating and running educational opportunities, and community development. Community Development is all about getting people working together (individuals, community groups, businesses, etc) to identify needs, and how to meet them, to make the community a better place to live. So working with others to make our communities better is what I do day in day out, and something I am very passionate about.
