AlphonseCapone Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 On a scale of 1-10 id say Scotland was as liberated as you can get. Try reading what i posted again as you seem to have jumped in without thinking. Granted a trait common these days to so called left leaners What about a scale of 1 - 20 though?

Space Mackerel Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Clearly whoever wrote that shit is about as worth reading as your shit. Scotland at any point is able to remove itself from the union with England through the will and democratic right of the people who live here. That includes english or any other demograph. One other thing spacey . Your last post regarding my writing style. Would that be in response to the poster who backed up your credentials as a hearts fan which were convenient to say the least. Wee ginger dug may be able to convince you. But until you and earl face up to the fact that real people with reality in mind need convinced of the posivitive argument for independence. That economic and present future politics will work for them and their children. Then no amount of past sins or braveheart mentality will deliver that goal. That was a positive case for independence that WGD blogged. Most Of Yes's arguments are positive. It's the Brit Nats that have started Project Fear Mk 2 already, without a date of the referendum being declared.

Boris Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm not surprised polls show a reluctance to have another referendum. In truth, I'm not sure anyone wants one, however Brexit has acted as a catalyst, IMO. Equally, those calling for the Scottish Government to call one now are not going to get that. The Govt will bide its time, wait to see how Brexit unfolds etc, which makes sense to me. So, in other words, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon has been at pains to NOT go gung ho (IMO) but Davidson seems to be the one obsessed with it. I don't disagree with your point regards had there been support it would have been called already, either. But the idea of "material change" could lead to another indy ref, and Brexit is certainly that, so in that sense it is Brexit that has led us to where we are i.e. it is the catalyst in all of this. Had there been no Brexit vote, or a remain win, we wouldn't be discussing this right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had there been no Brexit vote, or a remain win, we wouldn't be discussing this right now. If the UK had voted to remain in EU, we would be discussing some other pretext. Of that, there can be no doubt; independence is the oxygen of the SNP and a useful smokescreen for an abysmal record in Government. It does seem, however, that those who favour Independence have conflated Scotland's predominantly "Remain" stance with a vote to "Leave" the UK. There are far too many variables for that to be predicted with any certainty whatsoever. The simple fact is that despite the "Leave" vote, support for Independence remains becalmed at circa 35% of the electorate and support for another referendum declines steadily. Several polls in recent weeks confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I don't vote SNP, but I'm not sure their record is "abysmal", yet if it is, why do they still get returned to office in record numbers by those who bother to vote?

There is a link but we shouldn't conflate need for Indy with SNP representation at Westminster or Holyrood. Ian quite happy to vote for Calum Mcaig as my Westminster MP as he is doing a good job for his constituents on local issues here. But that's the problem for Nippy: the better job they do for Scotland in Westminster, the less the need for Independence as Scots see their needs being met by, ironically, the SNP. This explains the difference in percentage vote share between elections and Referenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, Scotland returned a majority of pro-independence MSP's at the last Holyrood elections. Re your last paragraph, the absolute number of votes cast for SNP remains pretty much unchanged. They are, however, better motivated, be it through a sense of grievance at the Referendum result ir thanks to the party mechanism. Add that to Labour in meltdown and you have a recipe for the SNP to be elected irrespective of their management competence. The SNP support is just as tribal as Labour once was. As for Westminster, that is the fault of FPTP - something that you, I think, highlighted recently. By votes cast, there is no way that the SNP should have the monopoly of seats.

Thats why i cannot get my head around those who wish independence and membership of the EU. Can anyone give an example of union of countries where itbwas not set up to benefit the central power that originated the idea. Even the USA sees the wealth disproportionate to the victors .
