The Scottish budget

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, The Scottish budget

Your calls on the rejection of the Scottish budget, and Scotland's most dismal town.

Graham Stewart takes your calls on the rejection of the Scottish budget, and asks you to nominate Scotland's most dismal town on the day the annual Carbuncles are announced.

With the country facing recession, what do you make of the fact that Scotland's politicians can't even manage to get a budget together?

The Scottish Government's budget for the coming year has been rejected by parliament, despite ministers making last-minute concessions. The government won the support of the Tories but the two Green MSPs withdrew their backing shortly before the vote. Green MSP Patrick Harvie was furious about the last-minute nature of the negotiations. 

Plus: The Carbuncle Awards for Scotland's most unsightly towns and buildings are announced live on the programme. We get your thoughts on the results and your alternative suggestions.
