Are you serious? Well our national government for a start...
Studies(1) have shown that there is no real difference between the Scots and English on political issues. If you want to claim otherwise, cite a source.
And if 49% of the Scots wanted to stay in the Union, how can you justify forcing those people and their property out of the Union if this is just about politics?
Your argument doesn't make sense.
well if you get indipendance and go whole heartedly into the Eurozone as the SNP want, then get ready to spend a shed load on your southern boarder as you welcome untold ammounts of euro nationals into your neighbourhood and join the schengen agreement, itd be down to you lot to pay for and maintain your closed boarder between us and you, and what with the very low yeild of oil profit are you sure you can afford it?
unless you want to pick n choose your way into the Euro when other nations had allready said they wont let you pick n choose
no the welsh assembly are just expensive idiots who i don't like. nor do i like how they were forced upon us.

The UK government... You must be joking. It has never been more divided. What other institutions bind us?

Closed border? Why would we have a closed border? We already allow EU nationals to come and live in Scotland.
Indeed, the people of Scotland have spoken and the only reason this thread is still going is because lovelyhead refuses to believe what we decided.
ive RTM'd it as its pointless and argumentative, there is simply no reason to let this carry on
Again, you miss the part where Scotland is a fully fledged part of the UK. And by country, I do mean the area under which the government rule. Sure, it is nice to have Scottish patriotism, but along with that, is the patriotism to the UK as a whole, as it is a whole.
Because he is talking about an independent Scotland being a new member of the EU, where the rest of the UK isn't. And as such, the border between the UK and Scotland will need to be closed and regulated due to the Schengen agreement.

I love how you fail to acknowledge my points about your previous arguments. Is that because you now realise you didn't have a leg to stand on?
Anyway, for most Scots, the Westminster system is evidently working, because the majority voted to stay in.
I can't deny Westminster has had a bad few years, but let us be clear, all governments across the world have similar scandals. We are not unique. If Scotland became independent, it would be only a matter of time before it had its own scandals. Because as the saying goes: power corrupts.
Well, unless you think Scottish MP's are somehow morally superior to English MPs and would never indulge in corruption or criminality? In which case, you'd be a racist
Didn't you hear? We wanted to be independent, we were just too feart to tick the Yes box.

NO only just winning the referendum was hardly a ringing endorsement of the Westminster system.

I would say 95% of Scottish MP's are superior to most of the other MP's.
Considering they've only just become MP's what have they done already (or not) that makes them superior?

Oops sorry, I didn't realise you were joking
I wasn't joking. Considering the SNP MPs would rather not even have to be there, they still have better attendance than unionist MP's who are a disgrace to their constituents.

Obviously. Just take a look at this:
Unionist MP's are a disgrace for the most part. It is no wonder unionist parties are facing extinction in Scotland because of scenes like these.
It will be interesting to see the stats for how much time they spend in the Commons at the end of the parliament.
IIRC MP's aren't expected to spend all their time in the main hall because many of them are on specific sub panels which see them doing their work out of it.
Not to mention the common habit of some of posting pictures from BBC Parliament to show how they don't turn up is often using shots from late at night, or from a different date/time to when it's claimed.
