I've provided a link quoting a diplomat not a politician. So yes, politicians do lie but that's irrelevant here.

Who is speaking on behalf of the Spamish Government, who are politicians.

Spain will not block Scotland’s entry into the European Union if independence is legally achieved, and such has always been the intention of the Spanish government

Dont start trying to be a smartass, it wont end well.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Aren’t diplomats paid to at least be economical with the truth, knowing how to phrase a lie/

It's useful to refer to the source material here, make of it what you will.
Quote:
But in a letter sent to The Herald newspaper, which was also copied to Scottish Government officials, Mr Quintana insisted that the politician had been speaking “in his and his party’s exclusive responsibility” and not on behalf of the Spanish government.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
So an 18 month old article quoting a nobody supposedly speaking on behalf of a country.
Nothing to see here....

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I know how much everyone loves polls on CF but one out this morning predicts the SNP to win 71 of 129 seats with independence supporting Greens getting 11.
The spirit of Ian Paisley can live on with a Yorkshire accent with Richard Leonard's Labour party being the biggest opposition party.
Better get those Salmond smears out quickly.

It's interesting he's not said anything publicly yet about the rumours of him forming a rival independence party. It may be just tittle tattle or he may think it's in his strategic interests to wait till the last minute. If he does go for it it will royally screw up the polling predictions especially with the two-vote PR-ish system we have.

Very much so. Could have wildly varying consequences if they stand in every constituency or whether they stick to being a "list" party.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Entertainingly James Matthews at Sky has been sitting on the following gem since 2017:
https://news.sky.com/story/nicola-st...eaked-12192267
While embarrassing for the email exchanges to be made public by mistake they aren't particularly out of the ordinary. A seperate freedom of information request lodged in 2018 and published by the Scottish Government acknowledges the role of Special Advisors (and Ministers) in the clearance process prior to responding.
https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-18-01646-review/
That said the average reader/viewer would probably consider it overly complex I'm sure no journalist, ever, has sought to trip up a Minister by reading to them outputs from a freedom of information on television.
So while it reads juicy the reality is much more mundane.
