Question to the Scots in here, as I’m genuinely interested. Fascinated, you might say.
Supposing you do go for independence, in the aftermath, what are your political options beyond the SNP. Is there a genuine opposition as an alternative.
You’ve misunderstood where I am, I’m perfectly happy and actively want you to go your own way. Please do.
Scotland gets more money per head of population to spend and has a designated parliament to sort local issues in Scotland.
If you had the same in the north of England and upped the budget we get then child poverty would reduce more here too.
My point on voting is that it isn’t just about the Tories is it, if Scotland voted Labour then there would be a real chance next time the Tories will lose. Ironically Labour were the only unionist party who agreed to another Scot independent vote
Kate Forbes is pretty smart. They will need an army of smart people to pull off independence though.Interesting. We shall see with time.
On the face of it, you may have a bit of a point. It might be well beyond that, it is almost self sustaining now, and might not matter.
Or, you may just not be seeing it, for any number of reasons.
When a 20 year old Mhairi Black took the long held Labour seat off Douglas Alexander, I remember thinking, man folk will vote anyone in as long as they are SNP. Turns out, she is actually pretty damn good, and has been consistent. It can be premature, judging 'talent' of background players.
There are a fair few to choose from, some prominent and well spoken, some loudmouthed and attention seaking, some quiet and clever. With the levels of support they have now, hardly going to come down to individual popularity, I would guess.
No I want us to have a vote but that’ll never happen so it’s up to you lot.In essence, you want English independence, but want someone else to vote for it?

We’re never getting a vote but I hope you vote yes next timeBut English independence all the same, whatever way it is voted?
They had the chance to get a top finance person in the Edinburgh seat but that got given to Angus Robertson because he knows where the dead bodies are in the party. If John Swinney becomes leader then they are sunk.Interesting. We shall see with time.

With respect Scotland voting themselves out of the union doesn’t equate to a vote for English independence.But English independence all the same, whatever way it is voted?

You mentioned previously you’d see fit to take Wales with you.
What about the rest of the Union?
Yes.I assume that wasn't meant for me, but the response.
this was the exchange between Ian Blackford and Johnson yesterday at PMQ. Also the Tory back bench reaction to the ‘fat joke’.
just a very visible indication of the disdain shown on a regular basis to Scotlands elected representatives.
Sorry mate. Don’t agree unless you show me the equivalent behaviour from Scottish Parliament.It’s wrong and should stop but so to should the line saying “disdain shown to Scotlands representatives on a regular basis.”
When was the last time the SNP showed anything but disdain for Westminster as they constantly demand away from the place?
It’s politics, it’s dirty and it’s one big game they all play so the scouse victim mentality needs to be dropped imo.
Sorry mate. Don’t agree unless you show me the equivalent behaviour from Scottish Parliament.
I haven’t seen it in Scottish parliament. Show me examples.Im talking about SNP MP’s in parliament. Do you not think for a second when it’s a joke or attack on the PM(deserved no doubt)they are all in hysterics themselves, jeering and laughing about it?
Is that showing disdain or is it the rough and tumble that is politics?
Blackford would be Scottish version of the French Taunter from Monty Python. Peering over his castle walls to abuse any English person who dare knock on his door.Both fair comments. Boris is unfit for office and blackford is a fat **** that eats too many cakes.

I’m sorry mate. I wasn’t careful enough reading this yesterday. You may have a point that that bear pit encourages bad behaviour. I genuinely haven’t seen as bad from them though. I actually think they have been pretty effective (as far as they can be) at holding the **** to account.Im talking about SNP MP’s in parliament.
