Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross at the launch of the Tories’ list vote campaign in Edinburgh yesterday ALLOWING for my advancing years, although, happily with all my faculties, intact (so far anyway) I trust you may forgive my confusion. I really did believe the forthcoming election was for the Scottish Parliament, and for a new Scottish Government, not a General Election. However, according to the STV leaders debate ( FM: We took our eye off the ball on drug deaths , The Herald, April 14) it appeared Scotland is to elect a UK Prime Minister, not a Scottish First Minister. Boris Johnson s name appeared so frequently, I unhappily lost count.
