The Scotsman tells the sorry tale:
SCOTLAND'S newest political party was officially launched today by millionaire landowner Archie Stirling, former husband of Diana Rigg.
Scottish Voice plans to field candidates in each region for the Holyrood elections in May. But it emerged the party is not planning to campaign on a manifesto setting out specific policies.
Instead, it hopes to put forward people with expertise in business, education, health and other fields.
Mr Stirling said he did not have a "quick fix toolbox". But in a booklet published at today's launch at Edinburgh's Balmoral Hotel, he set out his views on what had gone wrong with Scotland under devolution and called for a break with "machine politics".
So there you are. Vote for Scottish Voice to get rid of machine politics and don't expect a quick fix.

I thought the real message was that if you are bored, angry, frustrated with party politics, create your own! (Has no one got the irony of that yet?)
Yes, if you have £5k to waste on a lost regional list deposit, you too can be in the elite of Scottish politics.
Meanwhile, the SNP is cruising ahead of Labour in tomorrow's Scotsman/ICM poll.
