Pleasing to see Inverness born MSP Murdo Fraser, author of the notorious “Queens XI” tweet and an Ibrox diehard, scrambling to associate himself with Ross County this evening.
If I was being charitable to Murdo I’d say he was doing so to appeal to his consituents. But wait - he doesn’t actually have a constituency! He’s a list MSP from a different region, and
has never actually won a Holyrood constituency seat. Probably pretty apt that he follows The Rangers then?

Is Murdo still hurting?

Born in Inverness. I suspect he's one of those unbelievably patronising people who support Rangers but have the local club as their "wee team" (despite said team being in the same division).

I am astonished and ashamed at my ignorance. I live up here in the Hie'lans but I've never heard of this Fraser tool.
Up until now.
I have to say, his intro via this thread hasn't set him up to occupy a particularly high position in my esteem list.
But he does win a Far Kim award though.

He tried to put forward a motion in Parliament to congratulate Rangers for winning the league prior to their liquidation. He's a very bitter, Tory hun as you can see from his previous tweets.

He’s the Craig Levein of politicians. He’s never ever won an election despite several attempts.
United we stand here....

He couldn't win a seat as an MP, so they put him on the Tory Holyrood 'List' for the Scottish Elections, like they do with anybody they want to do a favour (i.e. the privileged classes).
Here's a wee bit of background, from Wikipedia...
"Born in 1965, he was educated at Inverness Royal Academy. He studied law at the University of Aberdeen, and was chairman of the Scottish Young Conservatives from 1989 to 1992.
After undertaking a postgraduate Diploma in Legal Studies, he worked as a solicitor in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, latterly as an associate with Ketchen and Stevens WS in Edinburgh, specialising in commercial law. Fraser lives with his wife and two children in Perthshire."
AND
"At the 1999 Scottish Parliamentary Election, he was an unsuccessful candidate for North Tayside, as he was in 2003 and 2007. He stood unsuccessfully for the House of Commons in the 1997 General Election in East Lothian, and in 2001 for the UK Parliament's North Tayside seat."Last edited by Keith_M; 08-04-2018 at 09:24 AM.

I actually assumed the thread title referred to Murdo MacLeod as he's the first person I think of on the rare occasion I hear the name Murdo. He was a good signing by Alex Miller.
Coincidentally though, when checking out his Hibs career on Wiki, I was quite surprised to read this:
MacLeod endorsed the Conservative Party in the 2010 General Election, campaigning for their candidate in the Argyll & Bute constituency.[

Murdo Fraser MSP as has already been mentioned is a list MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife. That covers Stirling, Clackmannan Fife and Perthshire. That makes him one of my representatives at Holyrood.
He is active on local issues and would therefore make a good Councillor, but what he does at Holyrood is anyone's guess. He lost out to Ruth davidson in his attempt to become leader of the Scottish Tories, Thank EFF!!There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

I was at Aberdeen Uni at the same time as him (and was on the SRC with him too). He had a reputation as being the least right wing and most reasonable of the Tory students at the time.
The time being of course when the Federation of Conservative Students were closed down by Norman Tebbit for being too right wing (including wearing 'hang Nelson Mandela' t-shirts) and trashing Loughborough University...

Turdo Fraser, never elected always appointed follower of the Queen's XI, is a complete merchant banker.

Murdo Fraser has to be the biggest roaster on twitter and that's with me on it. I've pulled the twat up countless times but he either fails to respond or comes back with some sarcastic comment. It's about time the list was reinvented to stop clowns like him continually getting a seat at Holyrood and send him back to nobodyville where he belongs. The Murdo Exclusion Principle has a nice ring to it.
