Scotland Independance Referendum

[MonkeyButler]

Galloway is a disgusting cretin of a man.

Galloway is a disgusting cretin of a man.

I feel similarly to you. But I also agree he speaks eloquently and precisely. Holds his own well too.

 

[sd92]

This is a waste of time to be honest. Scottish independence from what and to do what?, its all misguided and rather embarrassing actuality. I think all those SNP folks should just chill, have a cup of tea, live their lives and stop wasting their time with nonsense.

From being under the rule, by in large, from the Westminster government.
To allowing us to run our own country without having to send money to Westminster, without having our taxes decided by Westminster.

We will no longer waste nearly half a million pound per day keeping trident in this country whilst nearly 500,000 people visit good banks.

Our vote will be heard, as opposed to every 4.5 uk elections it being worthwhile.

WE will take control of our country deciding what is to happen in it.

 

[smudgedj]

No doubt there will be no shortage of drunken under achievers ready to cheer this on but you have to wonder what it will improve for the Scots even though the advantages to the English seem to be obvious.

and then what?

Every citizen of the U.K, has the right to decide what happens to the country. The Westminster government is the U.K. government comprising of 4 nations and the representation is an accurate reflection of the demographic proportion of the countries e.g more than 60 million population in England compared to the 5-6 million population in Scotland. Holyrood also provides a more focused arena for debating issues with regards to Scotland.

This idea of independence from who knows what as I said is a very misguided goal. You may argue that this is about perception more than anything but I will also wager that the views of Scotland from the rest of the world will not change, Scotland, like Wales, England is better of as part of the Union and it is a kingdom that was forged for the benefit for all parties involved.

I am completely against this Independence motion , even the word independence is rather embarrassing to use and Alex Salmond as I said needs to chill but he has been evidently successful in rousing support for this referendum.

Fucking hell that gave me a great laugh. You sound like your stereotypical Scott with a chip on his shoulder reciting fucking Braveheart. Fortunately for you the majority of your people can apply critical thinking and understand that leaving would be a bad thing and so will vote no thus saving you from financial ruin. The only people so far I have heard who want the yes vote have been people who are only looking at it from an emotional POV and don't understand any of the consequences of such action. You should be thankful that there are people much smarter than you who can see past nationality.

You can hear the Claymores swishing in anticipation.
Well, at least we can deport Lorraine Kelly.

If Scotland votes yes in September what happens in the UK general election in May 2015 do Scots living in Scotland have a right to have a say in a soon to be separate country.

They do get to vote in that election because the final independence steps haven't fully progressed yet.

That's what i'm led to believe.

Think you've got it right so when Scotland becomes fully independent what then, I can see a load of trouble down the line if Scotland votes yes IE will the UK parliament be dissolved on independance day. I thought we now had fixed term parliaments.

 

[nmc]

We don't have fixed parliaments - the PM decides when we have a general election - with the monarchs permission. Once Scotland becomes independent MP's representing Scottish constituencies leave Westminster (so Scottish voters will no longer have a voice in Parliament). Scottish MP's leaving may have an impact on which party has a majority in parliament - so a new general election may be required.

 

[dazdon]

The West Lothian solution would in fact become real.

What would/should happen to the Scottish MP's with UK seats?

 

[mammutly]

Scotland, Wales, Ireland, England. All are deserving of independence from the corrupt, self serving, hypocrites that occupy Westminster.

Poll today says it is now neck and neck. This won't make these denizens any happier.

they indead " are the pee poll "

 

[dazdon]

The English that have been allowed to vote might swing it for the no's.

Now that would be an irony wouldn't it?

 

[Bawheid]

wonder what would happen if England wanted to leave

 

[Moriati]

It would be far better if the vote casting was done by the English. That way there would be an overwhelming Yes vote. About time Scotland started to raise it's own taxes.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

Glad to see those rangers' fans have really thought it through and arrived at a reasonable position accompanied by a calm , logical and rational argument to justify their stance .
Oh sorry , I meant the other thing - they're a bunch of sectarian bigots!
The sheer irony of them saying that they would go to Wales because England " just lets in loads of immigrants"
Truly a gem.
