Councillor Anderson had tweeted about a planned Alba Party event at a bar on Byres Road which was later cancelled by the venue
Complaints about comments made by Blair Anderson, of Glasgow’s Green group, were sent to the Standards Commission in July last year.
Following an investigation, the ethical standards commissioner recommended that Cllr Anderson’s conduct had not breached the councillors’ code of conduct. The commissioner did state the comment was “unnecessary and out of date” but added Cllr Anderson “had not identified the Alba Party’s leader by name”.
The Commission believed that Cllr Anderson was likely to have protection as the “tweet concerned a matter of public and political interest, being the views of another political party and the conduct of its leader”.
