    I'm not just talking about the SNP MSPs but the other parties as well as I've also attended their events.
    In my experience, most ministers talk tulip about niche areas. She was quite impressive (And very courteous to those of us from the English NHS who sill had a foothold North of the border).

She was actually the only minister I've ever seen speak who knew what she was on about. Very well briefed and able to answer questions extremely well in an area that would have most hospital consultants completely stumped. Don't know what she's like otherwise.

        So Alex Salmon the oil economist told everyone that $110 a barrel was gong to be the norm before the referendum...

        We are heading to $60 a barrel and 1/4 of north sea oil production is being shut down. UK oil revenues have been downgrade by £4.5 billion by the chancellor...

        I just wanted to give the nationalist a chance to comment on this.

          I'm sure they'll tell you that the oil is almost an irrelevant part of the Scottish economy. Merely the cherry on the cake of a diverse and well balanced nation. And then call you a traitor.

                No one said an independent Scotland would be dependent on oil revenue. You know that as does everyone else. It's even written in the white paper, oil revenue would be seen as a bonus.

                      I just want to why this great oil economist got it so wrong? Completely wrong.

                      We can move onto other SNP broken promises if you like?
