Baxter Parp Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The Scottish vote in UK general elections has actually had a far greater effect on the outcome than any other region in the country actually ... three Labour governments would have had no overall majority without their Scottish seats. Absolutely untrue. You need to do some research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 [quote name="AberdeenBud" post="8760999" timestamp=" But as others have said, even if the share prices drop 25%, cry me a fucking river, it's not something I'm overly bothered about in the grand scheme of things. So you take the blinker view that just because you're not a shareholder you don't give a f**k ? Monday 8 September 2014 16.51 BST The value of major Scottish companies has fallen by billions of pounds after the stock market was spooked by polling giving the yes vote a lead ahead of the referendum. As Scottish minsters played down the significance of the YouGov poll that found yes had a narrow lead in the independence campaign, Edinburgh-registered Lloyds Banking Group which owns Bank of Scotland was the worst hit, with shares falling by £1.7bn, or 3.3% by lunchtime.

FlyerTon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Better Together? Hard to believe that when you look at the 'disproportionate' defence cuts made in Scotland since the Tories came to power in 2010: Shut down (or shutting down) RAF Kinloss Rescue Coordination Centre at Kinloss RAF Leuchars 45 Commando Royal Navy Search & Rescue at Prestwick, HMS Gannet Dreghorn Barracks Redford Barracks Craigiehall Barracks Clyde Coastguard Forth Coastguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think you're misunderstanding me a little ... in purely election terms then Scotland is no different from any other part of the UK with the same number of seats. One man, one vote and all that. You seem to have taken umbrage for some reason ... And what about: 2005 ... Scotland votes 39.5% (majority) Labour ... Labour Government 2001 ... Scotland votes 43.9% (majority) Labour ... Labour Government 1997 ... Scotland votes 45.6% (majority) Labour ... Labour Government In all these elections, my region voted overwhelmingly for the Tories ... is that not democracy? Should we revolt? And your last paragraph is fine but you must appreciate that once Scotland is independent then it will be a factor in these sorts of business decisions whether you think it's a hissy fit or not? I now sound patronising I realise but I really don't mean to be but, as I keep saying, this is far too important a step to take if you're only answer is to say 'f*** you' if things don't suit. And in all three elections, it would have been a Labour vote anyway. Face it, whether you like it or not if England is in favour of either Labour or Conservatives, the chances are one of them is getting power. The problem now is that people are disillusioned with either parties, and struggling to tell the difference between and and you saw to it that it would stay that way with the disgusting 'no to AV' campaign. If you really love us, you'll understand and let us leave with your blessing, but you're bitterly arguing for a marriage that fizzled out years ago. What about in a No voting generation's time when this £1.3 trillion debt that rises another 8 figures every year and the debt gets called in? It's not a fair comment to make but it's pretty much the same one you are making about us because 'we simply don't know'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 If in the event of a no vote, we get all these powers. What is the effect on the Barnett formula and the West Lothian question? Best vote yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 How is HB coping with Gordon Brown stating that Scotland is already a Nation? Eh, Scotland is already a nation.
