19/5HMFC12 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Things are not going to change in any way if we stay in the as part of the UK. The UK will still be run buy upper class posh twats who care about nothing more than their own personal interests and back pocket. Independence is a chance for a fresh start and to get away from a corrupt Westminster government. If anyone thinks that we are too small a country to survive then just take a look at Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands and even Luxembourg. They're all doing pretty well. We have the resources and services in this country to provide national income. Will the oil run out? Yes, of course. Although with independence the majority of that oil money will go directly to Scotland and not the UK. So instead of being split among 65,000,000 people it would be split among around 5,500,000 people. I will definitely be voting YES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coconut doug Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It is possible now as you say. Misquoted again, I don't think it is possible, that was my point. But that large start up cost is incurred irregardless of the constitutional position. A quick way to solve that is devolution of income taxation We dont have control over income tax and NI thats why it can't be done. Under the present arrangements Scotland receives no money back for their investment. All tax receipts go to westminster. Makes it unsustainable. - which is where the SNP say most of the return on this will be accrued (that and NI). That is actually being proposed now by Unionists, if not official policy in Labour yet, it is emerging as such for the Liberals and the Tories. However (and I back the principle and policy) it's not a transformative policy in terms of impact. The scale of the proposals makes both the policy and the impact transformational. The scale of the reforms is the main reason it cant be done under the present arrangements as you suggest. Ed Miliband has said that he wants this in England and will move gradually in it's implementation. Is that not transformative as well? It's not been heralded as much as the Scots politicos have Salmond's proposals. It's party policy, policy shared by Labour and the Liberals. It's not new, innnovative or transformative. Nor do we need independence to fulfill it. Devolution will change and adapt and be empowered if we vote No. It's the trend. This can be done either way and doesn't depend on independence. Not the slightest chance IMO. Barnett will go and make it even more unaffordable for Scotland. The policy has highly speculative and optimistic outcomes which will be rejected in favour of more immediate priorities. RUK voters will be even more resentful of our perceived freebies at their expense if it did happen. If this policy is so popular across the UK why has no money for its implementation been given by Westminster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GhostHunter Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Just a quick question on the citizenship part of the bluepaper - most likely twee in nature, but I don't care. Given that a lot of our national football and rugby teams, play for us either due to residency or, by grandparental rights, I note that Salmond has said that these people would need to "register citizenship", implying that they won't automatically be deemed Scottish. So, initially, we could be looking at a short period whereby the national teams, are 100% Scottish by birthright ? Oh, and one other thing, how exactly can the SNP return the Royal Mail to public ownership in Scotland ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I P Knightley Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Why is that? Salmond won't let me vote because he's a cynical opportunist. I'd vote no because I believe it would go tits up. I haven't seen a convincing argument that Scotland has a strong economic independent future. And if we vote aye and it goes barry? I'd be very happy for you.

You've got to assume many no voters will want to keep their British passport so c40% of the people living here could be citizens of a foreign country.

Take Scotland has no "posh" wealthy folk who'd be as likely to attain high offices as the current UK government? Think there's less privately educated Scots Tory front benchers than the number of them in the SNP Government. This is symptomatic of a view Scotlamd has a homogenous, horizontal Nordic society. We don't. Sooner we realise that we could probably formulate policies to make us more equal with Land reform to break up the landed estates and targeting benefits better to reduce inequalities. Despite free personal care, free tuition, bus passes and the like we are still a hugely unequal place by world, European and British standards.

redm Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 We'll no longer be British, we'll no longer have that bond or be part of that state - it will be a foreign country ( a foreign country that controls our fiscal policy, but that's another debate). So, for some, your identity will change. I'm not being a dick by the way, I genuinely want to try and understand how others feel about this part of it because I don't really get where the fuss is coming from. We live on this tiny wee island squished up against each other so I really don't see how we won't still have a bond. And a pretty strong one at that. Both emotional and practical bonds too. We'll cooperate almost just as much as we do today, we can't not cooperate. It could never seem foreign to me, I know it too well. An independent Scotland would still be part of Great Britain, it's a geographical term rather than a political or administrative one. Plus we'd still have British passports if we wanted them. I'd still be Scottish and I'd still share an island with the English and Welsh with the Northern Irish just the same distance across the water as they were before. I can't help but think it's built up to be some massive change when in actual fact, it would feel exactly the same as it does now. We've had history together for a lot longer than the last couple of hundred years of the Union and we'll have a lot more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the changes that come with political independence, the rest of it is something that just happens anyway whether we like it or not. I have no strong feelings on it simply because I don't believe it will change all that much at all. If Scotland does become independent and takes on a more prominent role in the world then I like to think we'll end up being recognised more widely for that in some way. If this recognition extends to foreigners asking us if we're Scottish first rather than English then great. But to be honest I've found that I'm just as likely to be asked if I'm Irish as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTsvLjAzozE How I see an independent Stoneybridge Scotland Granted, the "Bowling Club" committee mentality seems to spring to mind when thinking of Scottish organisations (SPFL/SFA for example!) However, I don't think that Holyrood has done anything to perpetuate that sense. If anything, a newly independent parliament wouldn't have the stench of fraud and deceit associated with Westminster. Yet that attitude that if it is Scotland it is somehow second rate (I know - the evidence is there! See Sportscene as exhibit A!) perhaps if we had all the responsibility the calibre of persons involved would be better and thus achieve great things? Better to try than to be subservient, which is what in effect you are saying i.e. we can't do it, best let someone else look after us.
