Baxter Parp Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Oh dear. You do realise that YES side is composed of SNP, Greens and a few Labour for Independence characters. As I said earlier, Greens policies have done away with a few jobs now. How many more jobs do you want them to do away with? Them is poison. Oh dear, you do realise that you only gain power after you win an election, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryfield Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Oh dear, you do realise that you only gain power after you win an election, don't you? This isn't an election. This is a race to the bottom and to see what side can ditch most money and powers to a mob that has never been elected. You did know that......?

The Greens will only gain power in an independent Scotland if they win an election or hold the balance of power after an election. The referendum simply makes Scotland independent, it doesn't determine who governs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think a lot of things could fragment post a yes vote - including the assertions and certainties that are being trotted out by the SNP and yes camp. Lots of thoughts and opinions are being hidden in the quest for people's ultimate aims, which is perhaps fair enough from their perspective but it leads me to not trust them enough to take the huge risk. If they can't be open and clear about basic things that I can understand god knows what lies in the details and complexities. As an aside; the SNP are leading the yes campaign and everyone seems to accept that except when the SNP make a wrong move and then its 'the yes camp is wider than the SNP' - I just don't buy it. Our budget has been squeezed that much that the SG have handed out freebies and cut taxes for the purposes of achieving a yes. Whilst going for a more 'local' approach in terms of Scotland the SG have centralised more and more in terms of local and central government. Our budget is that tight we have 1000 extra police officers at a time when crime is in decline almost everywhere. We have masses of things within our power just now and I don't see any great quality or leadership there to make me think that the move is worth the risk.

git-intae-thum Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The term 'categorically proved we have the potential' is meaningless. It's a bit like 'Its been categorically proved that I have the potential to be a substantially wealthier person........... by winning the lottery'. But you would be wealthier. potentially. As will Scotland potentially wih independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davi3j Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Some encouraging words from the French: Joëlle Garriaud-Maylam says, Of course, the Spanish government is adamantly opposed to the independence of Catalonia. Threats made by Mr Barroso are inappropriate and result from Spanish and English pressure: London cares more. They are not credible if Scotland votes for independence, it will remain in the European Union. http://www.senat.fr/compte-rendu-commissions/20140217/europ.html#toc8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland already has but is waiting for its inhabitants to find the ticket. Would be a shame if we didn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The former SFA Chief Executive David Taylor has announced his backing for a Yes vote. Quite surprised as I pictured him being a union man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Attended a YES Scotland talk in Ayr Town Hall, it was organised by Scottish Socialist Labour with Jim Sillars and Colin Fox talking. The place was standing room only and I don't think I was the only person with centre right views in attendance, I was so energised I could have stood at the lectern for half an hour myself. Interestingly the mention of a Govt run bank with our own currency was very loudly applauded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so far been quite hidden from the whole debate, but those with soft c conservative economic values have much to gain from independence. Imagine a centre right party in Scotland free of the shackles of Thatcherism. Not tainted by collaboration. Its an idea that could catch on.

I don't mean that as a criticism. but you wouldn;t really call them a left facing party in terms of economics would you - their major tax polcies are all either freezes or cuts.
