The Scottish Politics thread

[northendenton]

They will if they have a bigger presence in England and smaller operations in Scotland.

Ive heard it from the horses mouth that one big bank wouldn’t have any Scottish operations if they leave the UK.

There’s a huge number of British businesses with some of their operations in Scotland and it’ll soon change if Scotland leaves the UK.

Don’t forgot that per population Scotland has more spent on it in terms of education, healthcare etc. And when they have to fund their defence and their public services themselves, that deficit which is already too high to join the EU will sky rocket - meaning a huge delay to joining the EU.

Even if it is fast tracked, it’ll be years not months. The quickest you can possibly do it is 3 years, based on past applications, this means for potentially a very significant time Scotland will be out of the UK and EU. They aren’t meeting the requirements to join in terms of deficit and debt now, never mind if all of the above happens, whilst taking their fair proportion of UK debt.

The only reason someone like you (and me), as a remainer, would support it is if you just hate Tories, there’s no way you can look at Brexit and think bad and look at Scottish independence and think good.

It’s worse than Brexit, it’s a bigger change and a bigger economic issue.

The horses mouth you say ,sure you were standing at the right end lol

Would that be Nat West, RBS up there

Goes on a bit doesn’t she?

Saw her being interviewed on GMTV. The contrast with the subsequent interview with George Useless from the government was striking. She actually answered questions and took responsibility. I can understand people voting for her.

What? Surely not. Farage in a kilt isn’t she, according to most of the English that post on here.

Re Nationalism she very much is although domestically she has my vote.

Let's be honest here though she has stabbed Salmond in the back, her lies are now being exposed and coming back to haunt her and the man who took her under his wing is going to have his revenge.

If we are being honest, Salmon is an odious English hating prick that gave Scots a bad name. I would not piss on him if he was on fire.

That it is the Scottish Tories that are gleefully spreading muck about Sturgeon should be no surprise at all. The bottom line is I care not a fig when she heard about the allegations. I'm sure there were daily stories about his behaviours. The SNP and Scottish politics would be well rid of his malign influence.

I have zero love for the man but she has been caught stabbing him in the back and then not being truthful about it.

Her opponents and Salmond himself will have their revenge.
