DI Bruce Robertson Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 54% of male college graduates and 45% of female college graduates voted for Trump. Just saying like. Have you got a source for this? Those figures are very surprising. Hope it was a large sample? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 After the polls telling us the GE in 2015 would be hung,remain would win over leave and Clinton would beat Trumpet, maybe its best to be on the wring side of the polling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this doesn't continue in the same way as last time with the "It's oor pound", "no it isnae" etc. That's handing the "No" campaign a loaded gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she actually say that or are sky news spinning it? There are some lies in there (scotland will be pressed into using the euro). It could be a tactic though. When May tells sturgeon we're not getting the pound then sturgeon says an iscotland will have no debt and use our own currency which may be the plan all along.If the SNP are going with a currency union again that's it over. Independence is dead in the water, it opens them up to too many arguments like last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting our own currency will be a 'course into the unknown' or some BS, the Euro is 'being ruled by Brussels' and a union with Sterling is... well unworkable, not 'independence' etc etc... Personally, I don't give a shit about the currency. Is it really that big a factor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, genuine.Someone counted the amount of times Dugdale said SNP, Sturgeon and Independence in her speech in response and it was absolutely ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't give a shit about the currency. Is it really that big a factor? Yeah it is,we really only have i.m.o one viable option and that is our own currency,to go down "sharing the pound route again" would be a massive mistake and hand the yoons the upper hand once again. Yeah they'll pick holes in it as they would with using the euro but its still a far better option than sharing the pound,hopefully its just sky news spinning more n.korea state tv like propaganda!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons the SNP want the referendum is because of the economic hardship that is coming to the UK outside the EU. To then say that we want to keep the pound undermines that argument. The No campaign would be all over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Denmark does fine with their own currency in the ERM2. Means it floats within a narrow range to a fixed rate with the Euro, but if it wasn't working out they could dump the ERM and float on their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
