Well, what would you call it?

Well, well! Ms Boyack has come out against the replacement of trident. The Evening News reports:
EDINBURGH Central Labour MSP Sarah Boyack has spoken out against replacing Trident.
She told a hustings meeting organised by Edinburgh University Students Association that she opposed the renewal of Britain's nuclear deterrent.

Surprising therefore that she voted in favour of renewal in December when it was debated in the Scottish Parliament (see here).

It is with a certain amount of irony that I note that Mr Chisholm lost his job on that occasion by voting against renewal, a loss which ultimately led to Ms Boyack's re-instatement as an Executive minister.
