Political Rallies in Edinburgh
Political Rallies are part of any democracy and Edinburgh is no different when people feel that they are not being listened too. Over the years the people of Scotland have protested on many issues such as education cuts, the war in Iraq, water privatisation, the criminal justice bill, pensions and many other issues. In Edinburgh there have been many protests with very little trouble. Most people who protest want their voice to be heard without any trouble, and Edinburgh has been successful in restraint on the issues that effect them.
