This on the same day that Salmond effectively admitted that his ideas on Currency were not even worthy of the back of a fag packet. This on the same day that Sturgeon stands up in our Parliament and tells us that "Project Fear" was 100% accurate in terms of Fiscal Flight. Charlatans.

AlphonseCapone Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Sorry to interrupt the wee circle you guys have on the go but maybe pay more attention eh, the trend is only going one way.... * In 2007, the year the SNP came to power at Holyrood, 24% favoured an independent Scotland, while 62% supported remaining in the UK with a devolved parliament. By 2014 half (50%) favoured this option, while a third (33%) wanted Scotland to leave the UK * with the figures from the 2015 survey showing a six-point rise in support for independence over a year. * The findings were released on the final day of Holyrood before the next Scottish Parliament elections, and also revealed that just over half (51%) believe that "the Scottish Parliament should make all the decisions for Scotland". * More than two fifths (43%) of those surveyed said independence would be beneficial for Scotland's economy - the highest total ScotCen has found since it first asked the question in 2009 Also, the most recent poll was on the 9th March 2016, with Yes on 46% and No on 54%...

If you believe what you have managed to cut and paste, you should ignore emails from Nigerian Royalty and treat any suggestion that "gullible" has been removed from the dictionary with some suspicion.

Today's Herald will provide you with some sobering reading. If I believe the results of a survey, are you saying they just made them up aye? Or are you saying the poll on the 9th March I got from the YouGov site was made up? I guess pretending they are made up is more comforting than dealing with the realisation the Union is creeping closer and closer to an end. Look at how secure the Union has made us right enough; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/03/21/why-the-uks-current-account-deficit-has-economists-spooked/ In an independent Scotland, it wouldn't just be the SNP's problem to deal with the deficit, and Scotland would have the powers to actually do something about that. See this record Scottish deficit, that's on the Unions watch, before we've had any tax raising powers. It proves nothing. The British deficit and debt is eye watering. The deficit has been decreased by targeting the lowest rungs on society's ladder. Targeting the disabled or those with lowest paying jobs. Decimating the public sector while giving tax cuts to the rich and selling off everything bar their granny to the private sector. What is it we are meant to be glad about with this Union? It being one of the most unequal first world countries on the planet? Having an unelected head of state? Having an unelected upper chamber? Having national parties that all promote the same neo-liberal agenda? I'd love to hear any good points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP would never have the nerve to make a bold, unpopular decision. Bold, unpopular decision, in whose eyes? Yours? Mine? The guy down the street? When has a government, any government did what was necessary without balancing that decision against ratings? It will happen but not very often. When Labour were in charge their policy decisions weren't what was needed to be done, no they were what would please the most people and gain or keep the votes. Every party, the SNP, Labour, Tories etc etc etc do exactly the same thing, every decision a government makes will please some but infuriate others.

If you will not listen to anyone else,at least listen to Sturgeon as she has clearly explained over the past few days that, because we are in the Union, we will receive additional income to offset the local deficit. You can harp on on all you like about Independence and Fiscal Autonomy but the harsh facts are that an independent Scotland would, today, have been facing very difficult questions over cuts or tax hikes.

I think you've picked me up wrong I'm very much listening. Only a fool wouldn't admit we'd have some tough decisions to make but it's the glee with which it is greeted which I find truly mental. It's practically big GIRUY's to anybody who wants an independent Scotland. Regardless of what side your on Scotland having a large deficit isn't really calls for any gloating.
