    I predict they never will.
    The Scottish Parliament can currently raise taxes to pay for anything they like including saving the NHS in Scotland.

    Strangely they haven't done so yet.......

      Oh. Did we forget to tell you about the Barnett formula?

        We don't need to raise taxes to pay for anything like free prescriptions, council tax frozen for 7 years, free tuition fees, free care for the elderly, etc., thanks to the generous subsidies from our near neighbours

                  I've only ever tasted Buckie once and that was in England 35 years ago.

                    Pity the question wasn't "Should Glasgow have independence?"

                    The debate is over, you ******* lost!

                    Now, live with it. No ifs, no buts, you came second, the first of the losers!

                    Show some backbone!

                      The fightback has begun. The grassroots movement is growing and planning ahead under the #the45 and #the45plus hashtags. We know we have 1.6 million supporters in the Yes movement. The other 2m are split between the other parties and some have already said they now regret voting no and will join up.

                      The SNP have added 5,000 members and the Green Party 2,000 since Thursday. Most of them were Labour supporters who can't stomach the fact the leadership colluded with the Tories.
