Scottish Independance

First of all are you for it?

Secondly will we ever see it?

I just get this wee nagging feeling we're slowly creeping closer towards it. The SNP's support is bigger now than it was when they won the election (perhaps due to Bendy Wendy) and there just seems to be more of a separation since devolution. A lot of English people seem to think they'd be better off without us as well.

Re: Scottish Independance

I’m against it. I hope we don’t ever see it. The SNP creep me out.

Are there any political parties that don't creep you out?

Re: Scottish Independance

I thought I was all for it until I actually learnt about it, and realised it's a very bad idea.

Re: Scottish Independance

Against it.
Mainly because there's no need, so why fuck around with things? It's a romantic idea, nothing more.

Re: Scottish Independance

Against it too. OK, it's not the happiest of marriages when you're sold down the river for a few coins, but history is history.

For it, I think breaking power up into little pieces is the way to go.

Re: Scottish Independance

I'm for it.

Do I think we will get it - tough one to call. I reckon its more likley Holyrood will end up with an SNP administration again at the next election but a no vote - much as I think people are buying into the idea the SNP are doing well (they may well even be doing well but objectively I'd have to admit I'd be biased in making any such claims) it will probably be a result of a Tory election win over the whole of the Union that keeps them in.
