SKAT
SKAT takes encouragement from the fact that:
Initiative organiser, Andy Anderson said "These figures we found most encouraging since it proved that our campaign had brought the issue to the attention of people in the central belt of Scotland."
What did people think of Michael Forsyth and the deal that his government have contracted for Skye, Kyle & the Western Isles??
Said Andy Anderson "When the people heard what the
level of toll is AND that the government are using taxpayers'
money to pay the ferry company CALMAC not to run the ferry
they were incredulous. For Michael Forsyth who very shortly will
be trying to defend a paltry 703 parliamentary majority, Skye has
proven to be not far enough away to try out a punitive political
funding experiment. SKAT's anti-toll campaign has caused a
significant number of usual Tory voters in his constituency to be
LESS LIKELY to vote Tory at the next election!"
