Influential voters
Have you decided which way you're going to vote in the European elections on 10 May? Well, if not, you've still got time to choose. However, disabled people north of the border have already decided on the three famous Scottish figures they would most like to take with them to the polling station next Thursday.
Research carried out by Capability Scotland last year showed that at the Scottish elections, less than half of disabled voters were aware of the statutory measures in place to help them cast their vote - one of the most important being the right to bring a companion along to the polling station.
Now, in a new piece of research, the disabled voters of Scotland have spoken again, and have nominated the 13th-century Scots historical figure William Wallace, the best Bond of them all, Sean Connery, and The Big Uin himself, Billy Connolly as their three most popular choices to accompany them to the vote. Of the three of them, Crippled Monkey would probably go for Mr Connery, because if there are any access difficulties at the polling station (which, of course, we know there won't be, don't we?) I can at least be fairly certain that 007 would sort 'em out.
Joking aside, this latest survey contains lots of interesting facts and figures about the opinions and voting intentions of disabled people. You can check out all the details for yourself on the website.
