Scots Olympic team would boost games bid
Saturday, 01 October 2005
Glasgow SNP has called for Scotland to have its own Olympic team in 2012.   A separate team would be a real boost to the City's chance of winning its bid to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. John Mason explained the motion at the full Council meeting on Thursday 22nd.   "We know that our competitors will use many arguments against Scotland hosting the Commonwealth Games.   One is likely to be that the Games would be in the same country as the Olympics only 2 years earlier.   Therefore, being part of the same team as England in 2012 is likely to be a serious disadvantage.   If we can get the ball rolling towards a separate Scottish team during 2006, then that would definitely boost our chances of winning the bid when the decision is made in 2007."

However, the Labour unionists could not stomach the idea of weakening the UK!   In the vote at the end of the debate the SNP motion was defeated.   (Apparently the LibDems abstained, as they could not make up their minds.)
