The Scottish Politics thread

[Magicpole]

When the oil revenues were rolling in I wasn’t slagging the Scottish off, living with a constant complex about them that’s unhealthy.

And the difference with the south east is I’m not slagging southerners off for making my life better for the revenues in London.

The only interest I have in Scottish politics is getting it out of UK politics and moving towards England and Wales being a separate state.

If we go Wales will follow eventually. If we go. No certainty.

A quick shifty at the Barnett formula spending per head will tell you Wales are going nowhere any time soon unless that dramatically changes.

I didnt say now. I said if we go and show it can be done, they will get as fed up with you votong in the Tories as we are. They have a muchbharder, but nit umpissible route as they dont have our resources.

Economically, I feel you may be right but using your own logic regarding the Scots and how much you perceive them to hate you, I have to say I was amazed a good number of years back by a Welsh crowd in Dublin for a Rugby international.
Drinking with them, I was amazed by their venom towards you lot. Thry couldn’t get over how chilled we were about the English and how they couldn’t get us to say we hated you, which I guess is a perception they had of us.
They couldn’t understand why we didn’t hate you and we couldn’t understand why they thought in the modern age that we should.

Anyway my point is, I never heard that venom from a Scot. If that is anything to do with your reasoning for favouring Scotland’s exit from the Union, would you favour Wales leaving too.
And by extension, what is your view on Northern Ireland’s future.

I won’t say I’m quite gobsmacked but have to say I’m quite wide eyed at some of the opinions exposed in here.
Very interesting. Fascinating from my external perspective.

Fucking brilliant! XD

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.

Get rid of them too then, it’ll be funny.

England absolutely bosses the union in terms of economy. Everyone else is a hanger on.
