Caledonian1 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 1 minute ago, Granny Danger said: I really don’t give a shit what Sturgeon says about the monarchy; FWIW I reckon it’s nothing more than political expediency. Whilst I abhor the institution in the grand scheme of thing there’s more important battles to fight and arguing for abolition at this time is a distraction that is not worth the possible negative impact. Once Scotland is Independent there will be a growing demand for to ditch the monarchy and ultimately the people will decide. When that time comes I think the people of Scotland will do the right thing. Agree with every word of that. The party that advocates a referendum on the monarchy in an independent Scotland may well get my vote - would love to see them ditched within five years of independence but appreciate that it may just take a little longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 4 minutes ago, Bishop Briggs said: I regard Salmond's Alba as another Royalist party. The Socialist Labour Party, Communist Party, Workers Revolutionary Party and other fringe leftists seem to be dead up here. Does Scottish Libertarian Party still exist? IIRC those social rejects have put up the odd candidate in Edinburgh but I don't recall them being pro Monarchy. BiB - that’s more than most people do (or did at the last election). The Scottish Libertarian Party stood a candidate in my ward at the council elections. They exist - but I can tell you nothing about them, I’m afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bishop Briggs said: So the SNP is just another bunch of Monarchist arse-lickers! I am in the SNP and I would have them abolished or beheaded tomorrow. Its almost like people who agree on one thing dont automatically have to agree on everything else. Cant be that difficult to grasp, eh? As for Nicola Sturgeon, she wont even be leading the SNP when we become independent, so anything she says now is as relevant as suggesting Rod Stewart might have the Christmas No1.

A democratically-elected President (with term limits as in the US) and Senate are a key factor in determining whom (if anyone) I will consider voting for. A vote for a pro-Monarchy party is, in effect, supporting the continuation of our Royal subjugation. Similarly, accepting an Honour is to support the patronage of the corrupt establishment. Sean Connery and Billy Connelly are typical examples of the hypocritical and odious scum who will sell-out their "principles" in exchange for the Royals' baubles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we're one nation from Thurso to Truro my chances of being 'Governor General' of Scotchland are limited.

Fullerene Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I think this thread has descended into chaos. I thought it was all about axing the Monarchy. It says so in the title. Instead you are squabbling about other things. Honestly have you never organised a revolution before? I am seriously disappointed.

He had the kings of Alba, Strathclyde and Northumberland (covering modern mainland Scotland) wales and parts of Ireland give him fealty. Although if i remember rightly the scots king basically just said he would accept overlordship, then completely ignored it in practice. For a "british" monarchy, not a bad place to start the clock, i suppose. As part of a settlement in the less than 2 years between Brunaburh and his death. He was in no sense ever king of these territories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
