BTW Salmond seems to have tried to beat Cameron to the punch and has set a date of 2014....

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
So now the SNP have set a date, or a rough estimate of a date, what happens? Is there going to be a campaign for the pro-union side that we can donate too?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
There will doubtless be a joint Lib/Lab/Con campaign for a no vote, led, if they have any sense, by Labour.
Even with an outright majority at Holyrood the SNP did not achieve a popular majority in 2010 ... unionist parties between them got a little over 50% of the vote, and that in an election the SNP won despite, not because of, its separatist agenda. Incidentally, I have a ticket to BBC Radio Scotland's version of Question Time this Friday ... "Brian Taylor's Big Debate" ... Looks like I might have accidentally got a seat for the most important edition ever. Cannae wait! |
Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Couldn't care less about Scotland wanting to leave the UK. The differences between Scotland and England seem to grow with time, and it's getting pretty boring Scottish MPs getting a say on matters that don't apply to Scotland while having devolved powers.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I care a great deal. This is the UK, Britain. Scotland is part of that. It would be tragic to lose that...

I'm fairly unconcerned by the prospects of Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland leaving the union. Scotland seem to want to be a socialist nirvana, they can pay for it themselves directly through raising their own revenues, Wales and Northern Ireland are extremely resource consuming. Things change. |
Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I don't think the Scots so stupid to fall for Salmond.
Salmond, is a very good politician, however look behind Slamond and the SNP is devoid of any other charismatic member. The SNP are a one man party, Salmond is the SNP and vice versa and without him there is no SNP He wont be there forever. Do the Scots really want to be led to Independance by Salmond, and then dumped like a bride the day after her wedding. |
Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Maybe Cameron should spike Salmond's guns by immediately setting up an alternative referendum as to whether the rest of the UK should leave Scotland.. :D
