Alex Salmond: A second Scottish referendum is inevitible

I do like how the oil crash showed all their financial planning to be utterly incorrect and worthless. Notice how they've kept very quiet about it...
 
Having been brought up on Clare Grogan I was led to believe that Scottish voices were melodious, but having to listen to this new crowd of puffed up whiners all trying to make a name, I'm sick of the sound of them.

Please, someone give them their own parliament and we can go back to pretending they don't exist.
 
I would like to see how he thinks it would all be paid for now oil is less than half the price at the last referendum and their policies were based on an increase. We will just end up with another Greece on our northern border.
 
Ahh the good old 45%. The ill informed, vocal minority championed by an articulate and manipulative snake with an inferiority complex are back because they didn't get their way! People should know when to quit. Salmond got his referendum and got his answer from the Scottish people.

In several generations time then sure lets see if opinions have changed and hold another referendum but it is far too soon to be opening that wound again. I think the last referendum did more to divide the people in Scotland than it did unite them!

Why anyone would want to be a smaller fish in a pond where the sharks are only getting bigger is beyond me...

They had a second referendum in Montreal when the French Canadians wanted independence. The answer was no again.
 
could do a referendum for England and Wales to leave the UK. The Scotland gets to deal with the Northern Ireland problem....

From wikipedia:

Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism.

So, for Alex Salmond:

- Radical. Arguable. Call that how you want.
- Authoritarian. He's ignoring the majority vote, so I call that a yes.
- Nationalism. Scottish National Party. That's a yes.

The word pot, kettle and black spring to mind.
 
Salmond is such a boring man. The people have voted "no" slim majority or not. If it was the other way around I bet he wouldn't be wondering if the vote was the right result.

The logic in your post is tenuous at best, and plainly fallacious at worst.

As far as another referendum goes, I think he's absolutely correct. The vote was in the balance, and the self-serving cabal that united to offer a 'guarantee' in the final hours before the vote have since been shown up to be the liars that 45% of us knew they were. Unfortunately too many were duped.

If there was another vote right now, it wouldn't even be close.

Yes it would. My mind hasn't changed, and I imagine that's the same for the vast majority of no voters. Let's not forget the current dire and dying state of the oil industry in the North Sea, which 12 months ago a lot of (uneducated and uninformed) people were claiming would make us like Norway.

And what happens when the grass is not greener the other side to you keep voting to come back in?

A vote was made the answer was quite clear. If it didn't work out how you wanted then well tough. It is a pity the original answer wasn't yes because I'd rather Scotland went.
 
I'd say the SNP winning 56 out of 59 Scottish seats at the recent general election is the first step towards showing that there is a mandate for a new referendum. A convincing showing by the SNP in next years Scottish elections will seal it for me. I still wouldn't expect a new referendum to take place until towards the end of the next Scottish parliamentary term though, these things take time to organise.

I think the way the no campaign won last year, the disrespect of the no campaign parties to honour both the promises and the time scales they promised in return for a no vote and the fact that the Tories are going full throttle kill the poor austerity despite the fact that only one constituency in Scotland voted for them, when the Scots tend to be more socially liberal coupled with the fact that the result was fairly close means the question never really seemed to be settled up here.

No, a vote for snp is not a vote for independence.

It should be at least another 15 to 20years.
