    As we didn’t fight the Ayrshire seat last time, I guess even 1 per cent is better than nothing. .. But it would be interesting to hear how Scottish Liberal Democrats intend to rebuild support nationwide after the catstrophic collapse in their vote this year. In the meantime, more power to their elbow!
