But if the electorate signal their support for the SNP to call another referendum then it's only pedants and unionists that fear the outcome that give a shit about who said the first one was a once in a generation vote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 10 hours ago, Mr Heliums said: Think the SNP should tackle this 'once in a generation' thing head on if that's the way unionists still want to play it. Because the SNP can begin to use the language of 'a generation' in their arguments too – the threat of a 'lost generation'. Thousands now who've left university with no job to go to thanks to a Brexit they were too young to vote against, and whose careers and hopes have been damaged by the effects of an independence referendum they were too young to vote for. I sympathise but that risks giving validity to the “once in a generation” statement. It was a stupid comment, albeit one that was probably never meant to be taken literally or so seriously. Any politician who has a fixed tenure of office, whether or 4 years, 5 years or whatever, has no mandate to talk for policy beyond that term. It is only the arrogance of politicians, whether Salmond or Alistair Jack, who think that their mandate lasts beyond the next election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, who urged his supporters to vote in the "critical once in a generation election" in December 2019? And just for balance, who told his supporters that the same election was "a once-in-a-generation chance for real change" Would strichener agree that their parties should be bound by these statements and, if so, can he predict the date of the next UK General Election?

Sturgeon should declare the next referendum as definitely the last one ever, but make this declaration in a tabloid newspaper under the headline "The Vow". You can promise any old shit then. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearest Thursday after Sept 18th 2021 will do just fine. Yep, short campaign, get the vote done, get indy done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, weird that their rise in fortunes has coincided with EU membership.One side of my family were all fishermen, only one left now (small lobster creeler that he operates alone), most sold out about 20 years ago & none have struggled thru they’re early retirement after flogging their boats. I’ve no sympathy for any fishermen or farmers who were pro-Brexit, c***s, the lot of them.As anyone could see, they’ll be sold down the river as soon as it suits the Tories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to the previous page on this thread and you will see my stand on fisherman voting tory and for Brexit, my thoughts and utter dislike of the tories are well documented on this forum and you seem to be the only poster unaware of that fact. My mentioning in the change of fortune from yesteryear for North East fishermen was from a historical point of view, the same could be said on farming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
