We've not reached that point yet IMO, no pain no gain. 

So the SNP have done exactly what you wanted but you're voting Alba because....?

No, they've asked and been hunted. 

I'll vote for who I think returns the best result for independence, I certainly won't be voting SNP 2.

Can you provide a link showing that this was a recent and prevailing opinion in the SNP?

Why would I need to provide a link? The SNP's record in government speaks for itself. 

2016-2021: Majority support for a second referendum at Holyrood? Yes. 

Number of government bills for a second referendum - zero.

The idea that this would have been any different had the SNP 65 seats instead of 63 is utterly ridiculous. We know the SNP's reasoning for not going for a referendum yet and it has absolutely, literally nothing to do with not having the numbers in Holyrood to support it.

Swing and a miss then.

You clearly have problems with basic English comprehension, if you think that those in any way disprove the previous statements.

We claim the right to set a referendum whenever the SP wants ≠ actually setting a second referendum in motion.

Who is "we" and when should the second referendum have been set in motion?

What will SNP 2 get us other than a Unionist representative in most areas of Scotland, you need to think for yourself for a change.

You need to make sense for a change. You're voting Alba despite having no plan, no clue and probably no hope of any MSPs.

You will not find a single post where I've said I'll vote Alba, it's clowns like yourself that should be using forums like this to guide people on their 2nd vote as it wouldn't look good if Sturgeon & Co came out like DRoss, instead you just post like a brainwashed moron.

Had to Google freeman on the land.  No, I am not one of them.  Just trying to assert my right under international law to self determination.

Again, you share the same rhetoric and inability to explain how you intend to pursue your rights, as you see them.

Their approach loses every single time, by the way. Literally every time.

What is this clear route because it certainly wasn't clear what she hoped to achieve the last time with her shoulder shrug. 

Salmond won't always be at the head of Alba but it's what was needed for a new Indy party to step forward. 

I'm YES till I pop but like many many other Yessers I don't like the only show in town. 

For about the millionth time, please explain the difference between Alba and the SNP, other than the ones that everyone suspects are the most important (no bloody woman in charge, and genital inspection).

Although, in your case, the most important aspect is that voting for Alba is the contrary option, is it not?

...aaaand there it is.

The folk who spent the Eighties trying to equate homosexuality with rape and paedophilia are still with us; they just got fed up being told to GTF by everyone else. Now that they've found a new subset to lie about, and it's the exactly self-same schtick that's being pedalled.

Thought so at the time, but the lad who used to love posting on here about individual cases of Trans people being sexual deviants would absolutely have been doing the same thing about "the queers" thirty years ago, and will find another set of not-normals to libel in the same way once society has moved on from this bullshit.

Yeah, nah, there's still poster(s) on this thread who were doing that shit as recently as the last year or two.

The ALBA party is the only political party that I can trust at the moment to have Independence first and foremost.  

 

 

So indy first and foremost and calling gay and trans people paedos just as a wee 'oh meant to say btw mate'

Hardly a millionth time, not even once you have asked my opinion on the difference between SNP and ALBA.  However, I will give my opinion.  ALBA have confirmed that Independence is their priority. not identity politics.

I never said I'd asked you, although I may have. It's been asked on here so often that it's becoming a meme. Crickets from you until now.

The bit in bold is especially hilarious today, as Alba whip off the mask and demonstrate their main complaint with the SNP is that they refuse to get wired into the hated minority.

Oh, I think we'd all really like to see you elaborate on this sentiment.

Oh, probably. I was just thinking of the one who shitposted entire pages of links to stories about Trans people doing bad things whenever they were mentioned. I'm inclined to blame Peppo, but that's true of everything.

I'm not sure what's worse; the idea that they would spent their time furiously Googling "evil tranny perverts" whenever the subject came up, or kept a file of links saved for such occasions.
