Just in case any of you forgot, the referendum was a win for the no campaign, there is now a Tory majority government and that means the political focus is going to be on the whole of the UK. It is time for Scotland to calm down and accept that things are going to have to get back to normal.
I voted Tory for the first time ever and stopping the break up of the union was part of the logic for doing so. If Sturgeon was seen to be pulling Milliband’s strings then there would have been a vote to remove Scotland from the union within this parliamentary term. I didn’t want a situation where the SNP were holding over 90% of the population to ransom. Sturgeon wants nothing more than to pit the people of Scotland against the rUK, you can hear this in the non stop stream of anti-Westminster rhetoric that she is pumping out. The idea that Scotland has not been represented in Westminster until now is a joke.
Devolved power to Scotland is part of the Westminster Model. The union is only failing in the eyes of people who want to run Scotland down. Scotland is a great place and is doing very nicely, especially when compared to other parts of the UK or even other parts of England.
It has it’s own government with more powers coming and more than enough freedom to control the direction it goes in.
The Barnett formula is staying so there is no need to start your own project fear about the Scottish budget being slashed by 50%. 😉
A lot of people in Scotland wanted their own parliament and they got one. The same with the referendum. They want more powers and they are getting them as well. Wales and Northern Ireland have devolved powers, London has devolved powers, Greater Manchester is also getting devolved powers. With all this increasing devolved power just how westminster dominated/centric is the UK government.
In England we also don’t have a English parliament so we are reliant on the Westminster system to represent our needs.
The SNP need to deliver now for the people of Scotland and will have more than enough power to do so.
JY do you mean Westminster grants powers in accordance with the current system of government that applies to the whole of the UK that defines the relationship between the UK government and devolved governments and executives? Of course they do don’t they? 🙄
That is what the people of Scotland voted for when they voted to remain part of the UK. The majority of Scots want to remain part of the Westminster system.
The dreaded Westminster that allowed the establishment of a Scottish parliament and also a referendum on Scottish independence. What is really so wrong about Westminster?
Why are there any SNP candidates in Scotland? I would have thought they would all have retired or gone into hiding given the thrashing they received in the indy ref.
JY I agree shit does happen in a union but the arrogance and hypocrisy of Sturgeon is sickening. But on the other hand all parties talk crap to get into power and what really counts are policies.
Right so the SNP do have a mandate in the rUK and the reverse side of that is that the Tories do have a mandate in Scotland, in fact more of a mandate with their one MP. So I guess sturgeon was talking nonsense here. [/url]
So Sturgeon talks nonsense and Alec Salmond certainly does with his never going to happen currency union, immediate memebership of the EU and oil revenue driven economy. Just why are people voting for the SNP then?
It is laughable that the SNP can’t wait to be part of the broken Westminster system.
Hypocrisy, the Tories have one Scottish MP, how many SNP MPs outside of Scotland? I am using separatist logic so I appreciate it might not make sense. If the tories have no mandate in Scotland where is the fishy one’s mandate in the rUK?
So the SNP will have great influence, what like the lib dems did? Go back to being irrelevant, Cornish independence is more likely to happen given the price of oil.
Surprise surprise the blue faced army are in full effect. Anyone ever hear the saying from the SNP faithful “the tories have no mandate to rule in Scotland” well the reverse of that is Sturgeon has no right to step foot in England, she is not even running for parliament. How dare she bleat on about changing the house of lords when an iScotland would not have had a second chamber. We have had a bellyful of new labour saying lets borrow to grow the economy, do Scots not strive for more than government handouts?
Before you respond please remember, you lost the referendum.
Stu while you are being nice and voting for the green party the real men on here will be going to buy the biggest whistle they can find and be voting for UKIP.
You could get some Iron in hemming
just cut off the trousers fold over an inch or so and then put some of the hemming web in the fold and then iron the fold. It should hold together just fine.
Is the solution to not just buy girls a load of pink stuff but to also buy them some lego, mechano and science kits to see if they are interested in that sort of stuff?
