Fib Dems Gain/Lose* From Labour? (* - Delete as appropriate)
Those crazy Aberdeenshire Liberals are at it again.
Aberdeenshire Council voted to retain maternity services in a number of communities where NHS Grampian were threatening to close them.
When the NHS Board meeting took place, did Aberdeenshire's Liberal Democrat Provost, Raymond Bisset, vote according to the democratically expressed wishes of his council? No, he backed closure.
Also involved in voting for closure was Bisset's fellow Lib Dem, and leader of Aberdeen City Council, Kate Dean.
All this has led to a motion being tabled in the Scottish Parliament condemning the decision by, erm, Mike Rumbles, Liberal Democrat MSP for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine.
