To my mind, the key to success on land tax is a degree of cross-party consensus.
I also experienced my first lobbying meeting with a Government Minister, as part of a cross-party delegation of Scottish MPs.
Not only is there this huge groundswell of support from Mercury readers, we have cross-party support from local MPs.
The Cross party charged the Tennents with heresy and disorder; the Tennents charged their opponents with ungodliness and tyranny.
