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!

Labour is closer to the SNP than the Tories/Lib Dems (apart form how Independent Scotland should be)

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.

To be honest, London and South east of England susidise the rest of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

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.

Most Scots voted for the SNP because they were left wing, not because they want a Independent Scotland

Thats for the whole of Britain, I am talking about a parlement of England only, so the Uk becomes a truly Federal State
Maybe Greater London, South East of England and East of England should breakaway from England and merge to form the City State of London
