Why are the SNP the only vehicle to independence? Is that a serious question? They're the only "vehicle" that can do anything about it, Being that they are in government, n' all. We could have a war, I suppose. "Sensible, intelligent Scots" probably wouldn't have enough guns, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tragically disappointing thing about Scottish politics, especially post-Brexit, is that no other group has put together a government-lite, fiscally-prudent Independence party as a sane alternative to the odious, statist shortbread-munchers. Given how much The SNP have fucked up being in government this must be a no-brainer? A meringue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how much The SNP have fucked up being in government this must be a no-brainer? A meringue? What does "shortbread-munching" denote of a person or group? A sweet tooth? An appreciation of buttery delectation? Many don't think that the SNP "have fucked up being in government" so it's not really a point we can address as a fact. Give us an alternative to the SNP and we can look at it. How would it have been born, would it have gained enough support, would there be a point to it? Why can't some understand, no matter how often it's repeated, that if the SNP are the party that can facilitate Independence, and they absolutely are, then - if self determination is a destination that one dearly desires - to vote and support the SNP in that quest is essential. After Independence then the excitement of an entirely open political arena could be the re-birth of a nation. Maybe, even you, could start a party. Or end one, as the case may be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depth and breadth of the independence movement extends way beyond the SNP. Only a massively intoxicated troll (fair enough celebrating the fact you're only 8 points behind the famous tbf) would ignore that fact while simultaneously thinking there isn't cross party support with the Greens. The pretty fuckwitted assertion that independence means we're essentially voting for SNPLand ruled by HRH Crankie is beneath you and so intellectually bereft and incoherent I really don't know why I bothered replying to you in your state of obvious distress and befuddlement. Pointing out that a lot of people think the SNP have been magnif in government, are in their 3rd term and increased their votes last time around almost seems cruel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
