Thankfully, it's not. Yet. The whole point of independence is that Scotland gets the government it votes for. If it voted in a bunch of fascists that would be entirely our fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new leader would not be able to change policy willy-nilly without the compliance of the NEC and the membership via the party conference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP isn't bound by votes of the membership at conference and has frequently ignored it down the years. I also don't think a membership that elected Cherry would stop her from changing party policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth I red dot your posts because you have me on ignore and have insulted me numerous times when I dont think we've ever interacted with each other. I got over 10 red dots for saying Nicola was playing to the gallery earlier today so I wouldn't take it to heart. If anything I treat the dotting system as a notification to check that some people are still about, if I went 1 day without Antillion going through all my posts then I'd be concerned for the poor guy. I'm also nearly at -1000, I'm hoping this one could get me over the edge. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be an election within six months of independence as the current government's mandate expires on day one. Its pretty basic stuff. Its a new parliament, with a provisional government until elections can be held. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wait, news just in, the snp's position on the protection of bryophytes is really annoying so now is not the time. Mon the bryophytes There is a serious urgency for independence now that wasn't the case in 2014. If we want EU membership, to join now would be easy. In five or ten years very difficult, complex and time consuming. This is because right now we full regulatory alignment, and that makes accession a skoosh. And that's really all the EU care about, everything else they would be prepared to compromise but not that. The IMB is going to chip away at that bit by bit until we have enormous divergence, it would be like Texas trying to join. It is also going to see an assault on our economy and society as rights are stripped away etc. People who describe indy as a marathon and not an urgent overwhelming need are middle class morons. There is no circumstance under which it would be better to wait, the man is a fucking clown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I mean people are fuckin dying under this union, losing their businesses, next it will be their rights. And its just started. To suggest it would be better to lose if those leading the country aren't ideologically pure enough for the liking of some Glasgow uni crackpot is probably the stupidest thing anybody has ever typed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
