Tubbs Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Does it, please provide a link or give me the section number that allows for a Scottish election to be called early. If it is indeed impossible for an earlier election then I stand corrected. In which case post yes vote negotiations will take place without a mandate on either side, until the UK General Election in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 How will this work in accordance with the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011? Or should we delay all the processes and negotiations until after May 2016? You can hold an early Scottish Parliament election under section 3 of the Scotland Act if 2/3 of the MSPs vote for it on a motion at Holyrood.

strichener Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You can hold an early Scottish Parliament election under section 3 of the Scotland Act if 2/3 of the MSPs vote for it on a motion at Holyrood. So it is not within the power of the SNP to achieve a mandate for negotiations after a Yes vote. Thanks for the confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbs Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Maybe an election 'union' could be agreed ! Or maybe that is not possible either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlandoblue Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just watching Scotland Tonight. Is the SNP's position (should the chancellor announce that a currency union won't happen ) that they will just say nah you're lying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to think it could be possible but politics will rein and I have no confidence that it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlandoblue Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The narration on the Scotland's top ten battle grounds program currently on BBC2 is utterly despicable. Anyone who thinks BBC Scotland is biased towards the union really should watch this. I can't quite believe what I'm hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I believe in being abusively critical of idiots whatever their political persuasion. Odd that I've never seen you be "abusively critical" towards you unionist buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The tone in this is absolutely ridiculous http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-26168002 On Salmond: "he said with characteristic pithiness" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm generally a supporter of the BBC when it is attacked from all sides but it has not been a neutral voice in the independence debate, not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What did it say? Not very much about anything, I understand why he/she felt it was biased for YES, it was actually fairly balanced, in comparison to what he/she is used to that would make appear to be leaning to YES.

H_B Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 H_B, Reynard etc. are obviously never wrong about anything. Ad Lib has criticised Reynard on a number of occasions. He doesn't criticise me because I am always right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 He doesn't criticise me because I am always right. We all know that. I also knew you'd respond to that comment with that response . To be fair he used to be quite vocal of his criticism of BT and so forth, their ridiculous press releases etc.. He's been quiet on that front for at least a couple of months now.

I have been abusively critical towards Reynard on immigration laws. He's a total fanny on the EU. H_B is almost never wrong. The Clown Collective are almost always wrong.
