Well, if you are going to build infrastructure on the cheap, don't be surprised if it begins to fall to bits shortly after the builder has packed up and gone!
Frankly I think the Scottish public are embarrassed that we spent so little on what is supposed to be a symbol of our nationhood. I'm sure most of us would have been more than happy to see our taxes raised a little, say doubled or tripled for a few years, if it meant we could have had a decent Parliament building, rather than a shoddy little number costing a mere 430 or so million pounds.
