Most Scottish Councils are lead by Westminster parties – Labour, Tories or Lib Dems. They are the ones who control most Council spending, not the SNP – despite the impression you might gain from the UK media in Scotland.
And if you look at where Scottish Councils get their funding from, only 19% comes from Council Tax.
It’s worth looking at where all spending for Scotland is controlled – because most is not controlled by the Scottish Government.
