SCOTS LibDem leader Willie Rennie has demonstrated a distinctly illiberal side by reprimanding five members who wrote to The Herald protesting at the decision to deny pro- independence campaigners Yes Scotland a stall at the party's conference.
He wrote to them: "It is a matter of deep regret for me that you have chosen to show me such disrespect in sharing your views with the media without speaking to me first."
One of the five has blogged in response: "When did the Scottish Liberal Democrats become authoritarian?"
