MSP for Paisley in Successful Yes Vote.
Paisley’s MSP has been getting that ‘de javu’ feeling after purchasing a book by a Glasgow author. Overture by writer Erl B. Wilkie tells the story of the politics after Scotland has voted Yes after the independence referendum in 2014. One of the key politicians in discussion on independence is the ‘firebrand’ backbench SNP MSP for Paisley. This MSP lives in the east end of Paisley and drinks in his local the Burgh Bar. These three facts sounded very close to home for the real Paisley MSP George Adam.
George said:
‘I was first made aware of the book by an article in the Paisley Daily express a few months ago. Since then I’ve had loads of constituents telling me about it saying that I should take a look for myself.
‘I was initially very pleased to hear about a book detailing a successful vote on Scottish independence with a focus on my home town. What I didn’t expect was a few coincidences that really had me thinking.
‘The politician involved was Paisley’s MSP, Jack Murdoch. This fictional MSP lives in same part of Paisley as myself and has the same favourite watering hole – my local the Burgh Bar.
‘Seriously, I’m sure any similarities are just coincidence and I can confirm that the book was a great read which I thoroughly enjoyed.
‘Particularly pleasing is that art seems to be imitating real life in some parts of the book and I’m hoping that the referendum next year produces the same result detailed in the book.’
