You really are a ******* idiot. It's a good thing you married in to money.

He knew then and there he would be dead before the next one came along.

The SNP have quite clearly been privately told that this will not happen again for a long time. They are leaving inner city plebs and the kilt wearing incestuous highland and island folk in the dark where they should be at least open with them. It is all about keeping support.

It will not happen again for at least 25 years. If you and the other yes ****wits want to dream pipe dreams until then be my guest. The UK will be the largest economy in Europe by then and nobody will really be that bothered about being Scottish.

And the UK had a GE to decide who they wanted to govern them, and they chose the current government. Does that mean the question should never be asked again ???? Really ?

So, if, at the next GE, Scotland returns more SNP MP's than the other parties have and also vote in another SNP government at the next Holyrood elections then there is a mandate to pursue independence. If that doesn't happen then there isn't.

Amazingly enough, people do change their views. That's why the UK doesn't have the same government after every GE.

It think that applies only to left wing contractors

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Not exactly the same, Shirley?

They had a referendum to determine whether they wanted to be Independant and the scots voted against. Now he is apparently pushing for an Independant Scotland anyway, even though te majority of scots have voted against it?

That's a bit rich from an IT contractor

That's a given since the SNP only stand in Scottish constituancies therefore can't possibly run the UK government.

The SNP also refuse to enter the HoL and won't vote on matters that don't affect Scotland so EVEL will have less importance the more SNP MPs that are returned.

Shock, horror - politician ignores democratic result to pursue own agenda. I'm astonished.

So, rather than having a UK GE next year are you advocating cancelling it cause you had one a few years ago ? Might as well just keep the government you've got rather than asking the question again

Please explain.

[d000hg]

Calling a politician a hypocrite seems more than a little redundant, anyone that doesn't realise that they're all self interested liars who want power at any cost really doesn't pay any attention.

Didn't they have a referendum about with the majority of Scots voting against it?

Didn't they have a referendum about with the majority of Scots voting for it but MI5 managed to swap loads of ballot boxes filled with No votes?
