The SNP were almost voted into power in 2007 and formed a minority
government. That was sufficiently popular that they were properly voted
into power as a majority government in 2011. That was sufficiently
popular that they were voted in to represent Scotland in 56 out of 59
Scottish constituencies this month. It's therefore a little hard to see
what disasters you think happened.


You think all those SNP MPs are professionals? The majority of them
are a bunch of clueless idiots who under normal circumstances wouldn't
have got within a mile of being elected.

Mind you, it's always amusing to here UKIP supporters such as yourself


Actually I vote Tory, but I sympathise with UKIPs main message and
it seems 15 million other people did too.

use precisely opposing arguments to explain why (a) Scotland MUST stay
in the UK and (b) why the UK MUST leave Europe. It sounds like a pretty
good example of cognitive dissonance which is easily resolved by


I don't give a flying **** about the scots. Seems to me so long as
they have their benefits, booze, heroin and can carry on with their
self pitying sense of entitlement and have a nice long whinge (300
years and counting) most of them will be as happy as McLarry. My
only reason for wanting scotland to stay in the UK is for military
reasons.

recognizing that UKIP are a bunch of loony little Englanders who loathe
all foreigners and classify Scots as foreign.


Keep taking the pills, one day you may even find a clue in the bottle.

So you think the oil price will have gone up sufficiently by 2016 for the
SNP to wheel out its knackered economic policy once more and for people to be
dumb enough to fall for it?

Lets face it , Scotland has to suck from the teet of somewhere, be it
Westminster or Brussels because it doesn't have much of an economy to speak
of. Its half that of yourshire FFS. The SNP knows this which is why its so
pro EU because once its waved bye bye to westminster and the hand outs stop
it'll need Brussels to provide the money. Of course the privosos that will
come with it will be far worse than Westminster would ever ask for but by
then Salmond and Sturgeon will be doing the after dinner circuit basking in
their self righteousnous and won't give a ****.

What you wrote was "But unfortunately they're outnumbered by the idiots

was voted into power.


Can't you use google? Lets start with the NHS:

Around about now with an independent Scotland Sturgeon would be heading
off to Brussels with a begging bowl to join the queue behind greece
and spain.


UK budget deficit last year: £105,000,000,000.


We're far from being the worst in europe:

I've no idea why I'm reading this, but where do you get 15 million
people from?
