invergowrie arab Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Just reading that and thinking why why why would you push for a no vote then? She says it perfectly, 'the vast majority of Scotland voted for anti austerity yet still we are stuck with the Tories' SHOULDVE FUCKING VOTED YES THEN! ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1431770429.599641.jpg Decent from her though. I think its entirely churlish of her to say 1.5 million didn't vote without recognising the massive contribution to participative democracy the SNPs referendum facilitated. Turnout in my area was 82% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Also, I see Dave is patronising us Jocks already. We've to "be sensible" and then we'll maybe get some new powers. I can't decide between invisibility and the ability to read minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Willie Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 It remains the SNP position. Other unicameral bodies Finland 200 Norway 159 Scotland 129 New Zealand 120. Good I can post this here. I have a distant cousin in distant New Zealand. Remember Bud Abbott the Australian premier. At the time of the referendum he said that Scotland was too wee to go it alone. My cousin said that that went doon well in New Zealand. pop. 4.5 million (wiki). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1431770429.599641.jpg Decent from her though. Can't agree. That's got appeal to the masses, trying to look gracious whilst covering up my salty bitter tears written all over it. Edit: Why now all of a sudden is everyone complaining about the voting system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I work with my spin department. UKIP can greet all they want. You are calling the choice the people of Scotland made an irrelevance. Labour and the Tories have almost zero mandate to speak on behalf of the people of Scotland. But in an all too familiar scenario Scotland gets a government it did not vote for Scotland has overwhelmingly rejected Westminster. Westminster must now react to that. If it doesn't I shall be applying for my Scottish Passport in five years time Depends how you spin it. To say it's an overwhelming rejection of Westminster could be true if you go by MPs but not when you consider 50% voted for unionist parties. If anything it was an overwhelming rejection of the Labour party as the choice of the anti-Tory voter in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Will someone please explain to me just how Labour can ever square the circle of trying to appease the 'aspirational, wealth-creating and hard-working families' of Middle England with the more left-leaning communitarian Scottish ethos ? No, me neither. The SNP have managed to be all things to all men - but then they have a clear raison d'etre - perhaps that's what Labour (or some alternative) should be doing?

Labour and the Lib Dems have been the voice of Scotland at Westminster for decades. People wanted a change to that because it became clear that neither spoke for Scotland.
