SBC Leader considers standing down in May 2007

BBC News website reports that the erstwhile ex-SNP-turned-independent leader of SBC is considering standing down at the May 2007 elections. One consideration is that he wants to start a family but leading SBC is a 100% commitment others mentioned are "private sector job offers" and electoral ward changes. As part of the electorate, one hopes (optimistically rather than realistically) that there is no nepotism involved.

For those not versed in Scottish politics - the SNP is a party that is campaigning for Scottish independence, the Conservatives (full title the Conservative and Unionist Party) are pro-Unionist or alternatively anti-independence. Strangely the leader of the SBC resigned the SNP whip to become independent and lead a coalition with the Conservatives.

And they say "Power Corrupts"....
