Meanwhile, a Panelbase poll for the Sunday Times gave a 51-49 per cent split, and suggested just a third believe she has been entirely honest about in the spat with Mr Salmond. See this is why referendums are a pain the arse. It's nearly a 50/50 split everytime so nearly half the population are pissed off at the result. Some call that democracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Independence going to improve your life personally, for your family and financially ? In the grand scheme of things is it really that important ? The last 6 and half years on the back of a No vote how has your life been affected ? Still putting food on the table, paying mortgages, fuel in the car, living comfortably etc .... Don't throw generic facts and figures at these replies this is about you and not the politics or the views others put on a website. If Independence was off the table would you vote SNP ? The problem is that those against independence lack imagination, for understandable reasons of course. I see a restructuring of how Scotland works, a shifting of priorities. I see different bodies and government departments set up to work for our country and the priorities of our electorate. Scotland's very different physically from the rest of the UK if nothing else and faces different challenges, needs different approaches. We have a modern first world economy and with a restructuring that would see a greater focus on things like poverty and housing, I see no reason even more people couldn't be living comfortably, paying their mortgages and running cars after independence.

I don't think they are as inept as people say and at the end of the day we'll finally have a government that's accountable to the Scottish people, one that we can change when we want once the single unifying policy is removed.

I have worked in the UK governemnt and for foreign governments so have had a little experience. Firstly, I've rarely come across a political movement who once they have any semblance of power will willingly give it up. In the west, the middle east or the east. Secondly, when working closely with political parties and politicians, their biggest fear was usually irrelevance and being replaced by their rivals. I saw them at their best when they tried to help their country's people to make sure they stayed ahead of their rivals. I saw them at their worst when they were safe and just did what they wanted for their egos. And I really disliked those who used nationalism, patriotism and the like as a tool for their own gain. I may be totally wrong and may be pleasantly surprised. And as for other parties. There is too much negative legacy with the conservatives and labour. Ruth Davidson is probably the most capable politician in the whole of the uk (let's ignore any party leanings for a minute) But, the conservatives could never be a force to reckon with in Scotland. And new political parties are very rarely successful unless they are hard right or left on a specific topic. And I don't find that healthy.

I share the disdain you have felt for nationalism and patriotism being used in underhanded ways. As a Yank I know all too well how easy the slide to jingoism and bigotry are, especially over the last four years. I've always felt so welcomed by the vast majority of the Scottish independence movement, and watched as they've welcomed dozens of nationalities. Had a great time taking pictures of all the different nations' flags at the march in Edinburgh, as but one small example. It's been a very pleasant contrast to experience first-hand. 1 minute ago, Mikey1874 said: ANC are pretty strong in South Africa. Not sure what the overall pattern and history.

A healthy democracy has options. Unfortunately Scotland, and more and more the uk, has become an autocracy. That's why schools can literally fall down and the political repercussions are minimal. Or our once famous education system can nose dive and there is no opposition waiting in the wings to be voted in. And as things get worse, people will always cling more to visions of grandeur from politicians put to make their mark in history. Ignoring opinions on whether independence would be more positive or more negative for the country, I just want a competitive political landscape where several parties with credible competing visions for Scotland future fight it out. Maybe I'm just jaded by politics in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
