Is it fair to protect only 9 local councils who are administered by the S N P?

The nationalists have already said they could not make emergency legislation on a 'reserved matter' from Westminster and it would cost millions to do so and if they did , money would have to be taken from other departmental budgets. The Tory-Coalition arguement is that some people are living in houses that have 2 or 3 spare bedrooms that are not being used and if these people that are on state benefits , they would deduct so much off their benefits per empty room. A most disagreeable policy indeed , especially when elderly pensioners have lived in the same house all their lives and brought up their families in them. The Lib Dem part of the coalition are just sops to the Tories and will pay for it through the ballot box in the next General Election.

This goes back to the old chestnut regarding some SNP supporter attitude which says that you aren't a true Scot if you do not vote or support the SNP and their independence stance. To be anti-Tory , anti-English and anti-Westminster is certainly not a strong enough arguement to rip the country apart.

Can't really answer for SNP but as they oppose the tax I assume that as leaders of these councils they have the power not to impose eviction. It isn't the fair or unfairness of being a Scottish movement, it would seem to me the unfairness is the tax itself. Other parties, whether Scottish, Irish. English or Welsh, who oppose it could easily give their own administrations the authority not to evict, so why don't they? I'd say it really has nothing to do with SNP or being in Scotland, it seems only SNP, so far at least, has stood up to Cameron and Tories. However, this tax reminds me of the historical window tax introduced once upon a time when people began to brick up windows. Only rescinded after about 150 years-and like the unpopular Poll Tax which many refused to pay.

No it isn't right, their hearts in the right place with this, but you should not be discriminated against depending on what local authority we live under, we already get enough of that from Westminster.

They should have had cross council talks and negotiated the position

Ah, the 'undecided' referendum voter.

Well, it's like this. The SNP controlled councils will act according to the wishes of the Scottish Government. Those councils not under SNP control have absolutely no obligation to do so; this is not a legal compulsion and they all have their own rules.

So if you want to moan about this, dear, try aiming it at the Labour controlled councils because not one of them has made this commitment.
