I can't think of any who speak (imo) as though they represent the views of an entire country.
Indeed. Probably the best time for independance was in the 70's according to my gran. We had oil,gas,and a lot of industry...we were wealthy then, and could in the right hands, prosper like Norway, however labour controlled governements over the years followed by Conservatives made many economic mistakes not just for scotland but for all UK.
The scottish people voted for labour governements, thinking they were voting for the 'working man' but when the working man had little or no work they had no voice. thanks to Labour governments they voted for!
Lets tell it like it really is eh?
As investments in people declined in Scotland- those who had talent= scientists/inventors,innovators-doctors nurses etc fled because they saw what was coming. WHat was expected was the saviour of the SNP, but ,alas they turned out to be just as useless as Labour and Conservatives with their stupid ideas and money wasting projects. The Parliament was designed and built by non scots- paid for by non scots the estimated cost flew right off the richter scale!
The people who cared enough voted to stay within the UK. Those who want independance will have to prove to me why I should want that by hard facts and figures.
Sturgeon is stealing money from the just over the poverty line to give to the below poverty line. Who is going to provide our wealth? Germany? the EU?
SNP= keep on taxing us our of a job darling.
What has the SNP done to rid us of the embarassment of housing 'refugees' to not providing homes for those who born and work here? homeless 'refugees' well ther are none! what has the SNP done to ensure scottish people have an opportunity to work with Scottish Government agencies - we need to fill places with Polish/Africans really no white scottish people have these skills if not why not?
Not very Nationalist is it ? Building super hospitals with little or no regular bus services- out in a wilderness-staff with no suitable qualifications oh the list is endless.
However the SNP cannot claim to be successful in anything onw their own- can they?
I would love to hear the argument that independance would be great for Scotland- just what are the English holding back from us exactly?
It would be VERY interesting to assertain how many 2nd 3rd generation Irish voters want independance?...
