she included figures for Ireland before and after joining the EU, population numbers, GDP, average income per head. Quite staggering growth. Also the shift away from relying on U.K. for trade very impressive.

As an alternative to Tory austerity, what do folk feel about this manifesto:

• regain European citizenship and the right to study, work and live across the European Union
• have lower energy prices and security of supply by increasing and diversifying our electricity generating capacity, making better, greener use of abundant natural energy resources
• have a better, fairer working life, including improved access to flexible working, greater job security through strengthened workplace rights and, if you are a young person, the same minimum wage as everybody else
• escape an economic model that concentrates wealth in a small proportion of the country while producing inequality, low investment, and low productivity
• retain free movement
• benefit directly from investments from the New Investment Fund, with an investment of up to £20 billion in major infrastructure, including investment in more energy-efficient homes, greener transport, better digital and mobile connectivity, and more affordable housing
• take part in new ways for communities to own and steer the economy, including through direct stakes in local developments
• live in a country where decisions about how we use our assets, talents and resources reflect our values and democratic choices, allowing us to develop the kind of inclusive consensus-driven economic policies that serve other European countries so well

That actually sounds good.

Huge difference - Ireland has never relied on UK funding for public services.

The UK didn’t give ireland fuck all when they were in the UK.

I like her as a politician.
None of our concern I know but she comes across well and although it does seem to some to be a one issue party, she puts her case forward quite clearly and unwaveringly. Far more coherent an argument than what is thrown back at her, because you know it is a cause she is serious about.

Outside looking in again, but those trying to undermine her seem to me not to be as concerned about Scotland or the reasons she illuminates for independence, but more interested in saying you won’t survive without us, we’re hanging on to power.

I honestly don’t know whether you will decide to leave the UK or what form of state you would be if you did but I don’t see why you would not be encouraged to succeed by the rest of Europe.

The Republic of Scotland ?
Is that a possibility?
Nicola as Head of State? Maybe not she would be PM.
Sadds for Chancellor of the Exchequer.

That leaves Prez up for grabs.
Blueparrot? Scottyboi? Anyone stepping up to the mark?

And you wonder why we left.

We absolutely shafted you lot and we’re giving Scotland more than they put in to the UK‘a coffers.

It’s not remotely the same thing.

But thanks for the spuds :)

However, we went from 90% trade with Britain to c8%, since joining the EU.
