For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.One of the proponents of the scheme, SNP back bencher John Mason, is also known for his insistence that the Isle of Skye is not an island (due to the fact that it now has a fixed link in the form of a bridge to the mainland). Following that logic mainland Britain is not an island by virtue of the Channel Tunnel.
It’s always amazed me how so many people with so many ridiculous ideas seem to gather in one place. But that seems to be stock-in-trade for groups of politicians. Just where do they find all these people and why don’t they turn their talents towards solving real problems that effect real people?

That's as may be, steg. But the matter is clearly not wort MSP's time debating. The reason why the islands are shown boxed as they are on maps is well known and has been explained here. There is no practical alternative to it if the maps involved are to remain compact enough so as to be usable. The idea that they should be expanded in size or have their scale reduced so as to show 100 miles or more of open sea is crass. It is simply unbelievable that politicians are wasting their time (for which they are paid handsomely by the taxpayer) on such inane drivel.
Gotta love politicians, particularly the Scottish variety. Full of solutions for problems that don't exist before they make them.
