upthehill Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Surely not someone jumping in too soon there? I can see it fine Toggie! It's there now, and offers the chance to scrap the jumped up toon council at the bottom of the Royal mile, that's the option for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Harris Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 an independant monarchy - but with a new line and me as King. in all seriousness, I've voted the way I have done but ultimately I would like to see some kind of republic, but it would have to be way down the line or else we'd end up with President Sean Connery While we're on the subject, we'd need a second house as well - I'm wary of a unicameral system as it can lead to stoopid legislation with little checks or balances.

I P Knightley Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I used to love Status Quo but for all their predictability and good humour, I don't think they'd form an effective government for Scotland or the United Kingdom. Back to Westminster for me - there's too much ineffective government and too much money going into government to justify smaller assemblies based on some romantic, fanciful historical notions.

Therapist Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 The Scottish Parliament is basically a souped-up local authority. It is an expensive and unnecessary additional layer of government populated by a bunch of diddies who do not have the intelligence or skill to cut the mustard at Westminster. Scrap it and spend the money that's saved on education and health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I plumped for more powers. I would also extend devolution in the form that Scotland has and would have with the new powers to the various parts of the UK. I believe that the Union can last and in a much stronger form if the constituent parts of the Union are treated equally. Westminster could exist for foreign policy, general economic guidance etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Good to see the majority of JKB are not only nationalists, but also republicans. Based on the grand total of......(drum roll).......49 votes. No wonder you were so easily taken in by Salmond's "100 top Scottish businesses support the SNP" scam. It's political simpleton's such as yourself, with your irresponsible Braveheart/Brigadoon influenced voting, that have got us into the disaster that is an SNP "government".

speedbump Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Dovelution Plus, would probably be the option for me although I voted NO/NO in the original referendum. I know do favour minor changes to the Scotland Act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know do favour minor changes to the Scotland Act. Good to see that people are open to change if they feel its for the better. Id have guaranteed that your answer would have been 'return power to westminster' as recently as 2 years ago. Nice to see you being open minded Charger.

bigbadbill Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 How would the republic work then? I'd need more details before I decided on that one. Would we elect two consuls every year, then send them off to be a governor of one of our dependencies like the Roman republics did? Or....would we elect a president like they do in USA and France? Or would we have elections like they have in Kenya and Zimbabwe? This is an important decision. The devil is in the detail they say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
