I hope they get somehow strong enough to put NS in her place, We all don't want Independence in Scotland,

Who would want to be a Scottish Tory leader trying to justify Brexit and Dominic Cummings' eyesight tests to a sceptical Scottish audience?
Sadly for the Scottish Conservative Party, it lost a rare electoral asset when Ruth Davidson stepped down as leader.

Ruth D was one of the best to stand up to N S, I just hope they get someone who can stop the separation of the United Kingdom, I don't care if it is Tory, Labour or the Queen of Sheba,

The unionist parties in Scotland are all falling into the same trap.

None offer a compelling or progressive alternative vision for Scotland. They struggle to “sell” the Union to the electorate. All they offer is negativity and fear. The Conservatives are doing slightly better than Labour at getting the orange vote.

Scotland had it's once in a life-time vote, and they voted to stay.

If they did leave, how are they going to pay for the roads and free prescriptions with fewer people in a country than live in London

It's about the romantic notion of sovereignty rather than sound economics.

No the nats hate the English.

Nah - just the politicians and the anti-Scots bigots...

Spot on, Chris, the SNP have one goal and one goal only, they need to get on with the day job, their tunnel vision for independence knows no bounds, Sturgeon is a sleekit little bitch, they are definitely using the Covid crisis to further their ambiton of a free Scotland, they forget to remember that 60% of their trade is with England, the education system in Scotland used to be one of the top performers world wide, its about third from bottom now, same with the NHS it's a complete mess!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

“Get on with the day job” patter is fantastic from unionists.

I can’t remember the last time Scottish Labour or Conservatives made a policy proposal. I frequently forget the Lib Dems exist.

Trade isn’t a good reason to not be self-governing. Seph will back me up here.

You’ve also got a curious way of phrasing that the Covid situation allows the SNP to demonstrate competence against the backdrop of UK Government incompetence.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

away and bile yer heid.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Any Brexiter should be able to endorse your statement that trade isn't a good reason to prevent self-government, not just our esteemed Wokingham contributor.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Absolute guff from you mate, the SNP are good at spinning, they also lied through their teeth with their "once in a generation" quote, about independence, only to come back now trying to force another vote, how many times is it then, best of three, best of five? Yeah tell me about their ambition, absolute **** are the SNP!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Laughable response. Name a single policy any other party in Scotland have proposed in the last decade? I bet you don’t run out of fingers on one hand when it comes to counting them up.

No vision, no positive vision, no clue. Which is why the SNP could be bang average and still win an election in a Scotland. All that’s propping unionism up is the Orange vote and that won’t last. The opposition should learn from the late Dr. Paisley that shouting “No! No! No!” is not a long term viable strategy.
