So where to now?
Well, firstly, this blog is continuing. I've had too much fun with it to give it up, and on a more serious level, health needs to be kept an eye on. Bad news for the guy from the health board who's been given the rotten job of keeping an eye on this blog, and keeps popping in and out. Your MBEs in the post.
Politically? I've really enjoyed the campaign and politics itself, so i'll probably keep going with that. Our group will be discussing the next course of action, but none of us want to give up on the health brief. It might be a lobbying group, it might be a political party, but we'll be around.
(How about a proper job? Dad) Sorry dad, having too much fun..

Well done for getting the votes to save your deposit. How many did you get exactly? I'm glad you're continuing with the blog. The election may be over, but the campaign needs to continue.
Keep up the good work, Julie!
Julie, you ahould be very proud. Pleased to see you're not giving up...Scotland needs more people like you. Let's look at this with sober judgement - you've scared the life out of Elaine Smith in the last few months, you had the faith of almost 2,000 local people who decided to vote for you and you've done so much in raising the profile of the Monklands campaign. All in all, a considerable achievement.
You might like to know that the Save our NHS group, in spite of no media coverage, a budget of £650 and a small campaign team won almost 3,000 votes in the West of Scotland Regional List ahead of the Scottish Socialist Party, UKIP and Scottish Voice. Which shows how much this issue means to so many people. (We didn't keep our deposit, though).
Next time I'm in Coatbridge to see my beloved Albion Rovers get stuffed we should meet up...(and not to talk football).
Glad to hear you're continuing the blog Julie, too many people (myself included) need an unbiased education on a wide range of health issues.
Remains to be seen if you'll have the opportunity of running again in a few short weeks!
