THE LibDems have made quite a few mistakes on leaflets during their General Election campaign but the latest one is a real blunder.
Glasgow North East candidate Nicholas Moohan's leaflet includes a two-part checklist, with the first point saying he wants to "improve our public transport".
But the second point is not there, simply saying: "Second positive point about local candidate or action on issue."
Moohan's profile on the LibDems' website says he believes in abolishing the Vagrancy Act (a UK law that makes rough sleeping illegal) and treating drug addiction as a public health issue.
Perhaps if the leaflet had been proofread one of the above policies would have been added.

Twitter users were quick to point out the mistake, with one saying it is "really promising" that the leaflet had not been checked.
Nicolas Moohan our candidate for @LibDems is really worried about the second positive point as well as transport! Cannot even fill in the template 😂 really promising. #VoteSNP2019 pic.twitter.com/cpQmdWbhSJ

Another questioned whether the party were unable to suggest another positive thing Moohan had done for the area or whether they simply forgot.
Just got @LibDems election leaflet through the door for Nicholas Moohan. My favourite bit is on page 2, where they forgot/were unable to suggest a second positive thing he’d done for the community.#GeneralElection19 pic.twitter.com/Kx5ys8iX5x

Maybe this will teach the LibDems to check their leaflets in the future ...
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
