Scottish Elections Result

You don't even understand economics.
Straw man fallacy and Argumentum ad nauseam
biohazard just ignores any facts you present cos he knows best init....
I bet I even know more about your country than you do. hahaha
Behave please
I think that has been made that more than obvious, don't you?
Isn't that a bit insulting to ask him?
Do you think he is that lacking in acumen or insight?
Over the coming weeks I'll try (and I know I've said this before) to present two arguments in SC;
The economic case for Scottish Independence.
and
The continued decline of the UK state.
Keep your eyes peeled.
Actually, that is a really interesting interjection.
Technically once entered into negotiations, there is no consultation or vote for either electorate.
The elected representatives do it all on our behalf.
ofcourse not because the 70bn bailout of the scotish banks was our parting gift init
Your economic prowess is impressive.
I was thinking that as well
And I think this also goes back to the currency question, particularly as regards the likes of the Euro. Being able to set your own interest rate is a must for a small nation like Scotland, as part of the UK it's acceptable as we're largely in sync with the other parts, but if we were part of the Euro it would be more luck as to whether the ECB rate was appropriate for Scotland.
SAFTEY NET SAFTEY NET
I'm not trying to sound too brutal and I know I'm repeating myself, but once in motion neither government has to consult anyone and they will not seek unique validation for one such undertaking either.
It shouldn't be about trying to twist a good deal, I would hope that common sense would prevail and we would do things as equally as possible on as many fronts as possible.
Westminster holds more bargaining power by default, but with a referendum behind the SG it would bring itself some moral parity.
Not total parity however, but this is where I hope we would agree on a genuine equal settlement that would benefit the post union economic co-operation and market interactions.
With so many claims back and forth and apparent 'bitterness' towards the Establishment and it's 'apathy' in return, I would like to think we could all finally grow up and part on equal and friendly terms.
How hard is it to dither and then run to the markets cap in hand, to then give back to the markets in our name though?
Gordon Broon was a ****.
The taxpayer will profit if the tories will stop coming out with silly proposals.
Jesus
Everyone in the world base things on status.
Its called living in a HUMAN SOCIETY.
We aren't the only one's to have encountered it, btw.
Except they have just voted for a party that wants full responsibility for its own tax raising and spending?
Ok
If you think Scotland is that bad, England is also a third world country by the same definitions.
I wasn't informed the third world had invaded the first, new one on me.
I wouldn't worry to much, if Scotland is currently as bad as Africa then surely you should just leave and never think about it again?
The SNP aren't taking over, people are voting for them.
Do you get elections in third world countries anyway?
God you're confusing me..

I'm glad somone watched it.
Pretty much, Scotland's oil was used to help the transition to remove it's industries.
Certainly at the time of production of the documentary, yes.
Crazy isn't it? But nope, London makes all the money remember.
Yes, and as technology improves and prices rise we could even see an extension beyond that.
And most shockingly of all...Richard Hawkings brother is a fat Canadian.
Hahaha.
I like what that fat Canadian had to say about our oil industry though.
Yes and no, in the short term yes but really in the long term no... our framework and direction will eventially lead to ruin.
If we can break off and adjust properly as smaller, more tactfully controlled economics, we can break this downwards trend.
FF, what about blatant offensive xenophobic trolling then?
Why is that acceptable while my use of the word fool isn't?
This is stupid (can I say that???), the word is valid and it's use isn't an affront like bitter abuse.
Is troll then not also an abusive word, given the subjective contextual useage?

Come off it.
Long term dolph, long term. Keeping in mind we have retained FPTP...
This is where I sense Alex Salmond is heading with the Scottish Government
Exactly.
In a nutshell, that's it. (not help, but trade)
But nope, we're all greedy and anti English.
Funny that eh?
If you guys and gals go independent, Labour will never see power in the UK again
Indeed, but again that doesn't detract from what is likely to continue if we don't.
Swing majority politics and increasing debt because of it.
Given that every major public spending crisis has been a result of labour being in power, scottish independence could be good for the rest of the UK in many ways
Would you see English constituences changing in the event of seperation?
Which are?
You understand the voting intention disconnect between Westminster and Holyrood polls, and the fear still held in Scotland regarding Westminster conservatives (justified to you me or anyone else or not) can have that effect?
Can you see how this 'spectrum' of UK politics actually has a toxicating effect on the overall system, which makes neither Scotland or England happy?
That is what I'm praying for.
