The Scottish Politics thread

[west didsblue]

How am I supposed to respond to this? It would appear that the Scottish people take the SNP seriously enough. What a stupid thing to say.

They certainly will have a great many tough questions to answer in relation to Independence. Probably less so for the forthcoming Scottish elections when you look at the paucity of their opposition.

I wish the proponents of Brexit had been obliged to put together a plan with as much detail as the SNP’s plan for independence in 2014.

What was the plan?

Business as usual and we will have your currency thanks very much?

Nah, it was this. 670 pages. A bit more than a pamphlet and slogan on a bus.

Based on what exactly?

It wasn't on discussion with Westminster or agreement so very much a wish list I'm afraid.

Unicorns is the go to phrase I think?

At least it gave voters an idea of what they could expect, or at least what the SNP would be working towards.

I think there is a little bit of hypocrisy evident in any of us that seek to not be in the EU, while insisting the Scots remain bound by the UK union. There is equal hypocrisy in those that wish for Scottish 'independence' but would then seek to enter the EU. I wish the Scots well in pursuit of true independence rather than just the jingoistic anti-English racist sort touted by the SNP.

Maybe that’s why they lost the vote, but at least it was clear what the independence movement wanted, unlike Brexit which was a jump in the dark.

Yeah it had some detail but not enough. They will have to do better next time if they want to nail this.
They will have a more receptive population though for sure.

What utter tosh, there is no hypocrisy in wanting to have independence but wishing to join a trans national institution.
Nor is there anti-english racism spouted by the SNP in anything other than in some particularly bigoted minds.

Mods can this be moved to the relevant Celtic Rangers William Wallace forums?

Hey, don't forget the Duke o' Cumberland forum!
