Hahaha, really? Jeez, imagine if that seat was important for the result.

Think that (almost) happened in the seventies when their result didn't arrive until Friday pm. Majority of 3

Wait ... What? You're being serious? Thought the oil runs out in 25yrs or so.

Re - evaluated

Scotland could be sitting on more than double the amount of oil and gas reserves currently predicted, a new independent industry investigation has found. The investigation reveals that the scale of Scotland’s untapped frontier West Coast or Atlantic Margin has been underestimated.
The investigation was undertaken by oilandgaspeople.com, the world’s largest oil and gas industry jobs board, and independent North Sea oil and gas industry experts. The investigation included interviews with industry experts and collated seismic and expert evidence from a range of independent sources such as the British Geological Survey, DECC, oil and gas companies, the Institute of Petroleum Engineering and the Energy Institute.
The findings show that the current predictions of extensive untapped reserves of oil and gas could be underestimated by 100%. The West Coast alone could provide oil and gas for over 100 years with an estimated value of more than £1 trillion.

They've got Faslane base... the skills to build their own ships, they don't want Nuclear , they currently run NHS Scotland, they have their own currency it would need to be backed by the European Bank or go with the Euro .

I do love how the same right wing nutters deny that Brexit will not lead to the break up of the Union

Everyone has the right to self govern, I'm happy for everyone to do what they want to do - I just find the double standard hilarious as is most of what the left spout nowadays. Working mans party my arse, more like jumped up middle class hippy party.

No only London, Northern Ireland and Scotland. You don't have to look far to see why London want to remain as they are the main benefactors of the whole rotten set-up.

As opposed to all the Europeans who make your coffee, teach your kids, heal your sick in Manchester? Why is it rotten that they come and fill jobs that we need? That is my big problem with Brexit, the way people view Europeans who help our country and economy... it's madness.

Luckily it’s 56% no at the moment in the polls.

Fair enough but not confirmed, yet. "Could" is a dangerous word.

At least Labour broke through the 200 barrier.
Always looks better with a two rather than a one in front of your tally.

So when’s the next eu referendum then ??? I heard everyone has changed their mind and now wants to remain

That’s about the eighth post I’ve read from you talking about Brexit. Did you know a single other policy that any party had in their manifesto other than their Brexit stances? Just interested to know because I don’t think Brexit makes the top dozen things I voted with in mind for this GE. But you seem to think it’s the biggest talking point.

And the party of Rees Mogg is the working mans party?

Just the kind of ignorant comment that seems to pass as political discussion these days. To enlighten you, Scotland would be about the 19th largest EU country. Its population (5.4 million) is larger than Ireland, Croatia, Slovenia, Latvia.......Its easy to check facts before you write nonsense you know mate.

I never bothered checking as I am sick and tired of the Scottish tail wagging the UK dog.
