Nicola Sturgeon

[Alucard]

Not so sure........he does seems a finger on the pulse ex pat kind of guy

The Tories have been stealing the UKs family jewels and being unfair to the old and the infirm since 1979 especially experimenting on those in Scotland. This last shower have surely put the final nails in the coffin for them at the next election. Lets hope the UK still has an NHS service when they are voted out as the Labour party fought hard to get it.

Good to see and hear The Wicked Witch of the North fomenting irritation in unionists north and south, east and west.

Now she wants to interview a million Scots to see what their view on Independence is, she really is a one trick pony with no ideas other than a particular pony that has left town.. So they will interview a million supporters which will tell them what?? a million of SNP supporters want independence!!! Meanwhile every poll is telling them the majority dont!! She really did think that one up sitting on the loo didnt she???

 

[SocketRocket]

Theres something very wrong with her.

You really don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Perhaps you could pop some of your 2016 poll results up for us to see they don't?

If you think that, it means she is doing something right.

I notice you selected one, you said every poll.

There is another - every link to a poll shows the majority still don't want independence

Do you have a link to a poll that shows Scotland in favour ?

Maybe it's time for Jimmy Krankie to listen to her own people - let's remember it was suppose to be a "once in a generation" vote

The last independance campaign was built upon the financial platform of the oil sustaining Scotland as an independent country - that's clearly now a minefield of disaster. Things haven't changed to give Scotland a better chance in fact the opposite.

If you read more than WoS you'd be aware there's more than one, or are you being selective? I'm quite surprised that after all the drum thumping and speaking for the Scottish people the numbers aren't really any different than at the Indy vote.

I think she is a very capable politician. Take the Indy aspect out of her and I'd vote for her. I do wish she wouldn't turn every question respond into a 10 minute speech.

 

[HDID Kenny]

She does seem hell bent on breaking the union, sensationalist image, but not far wrong.

I am not disputing that but the guy said EVERY poll and you and I both know that this is not the case.
Polls are all over the place ATM.

Only the 'swivel eyed loons' would stand against having a debate with the public in Scotland about the issue of independence.

I think the timing is all wrong for the SNP.
In 3/4 years with another prospect of 5 more Tory years they will probably have a good chance.
If we stay within the UK and out of Europe Sturgeon will be blamed for not taking this opportunity.

Remember the last referendum the SNP started from a 34% base and built that to 45%. Unionists started from 66% and fell to 55%.
A second campaign with a more popular leader and a better organised party would be a close call at the mo.
I think a close call is not good enough, It has to be a 60%+ margin.

I don't know why Westminster just doesn't repeal the 1998 Scotland Act and remove Holyrood's legitimacy, that would shut that "Fish Women" up for good.

The polls aren't "all over the place"

It's the same opinion for the last two years since the Indy vote - the Scottish people said no then and the opinion polls still say them saying no now - it's been that result pretty much for the last two years

It's also amusing to hear her say about "calling a snap referendum on independence" - she does know she doesn't have the power to do that yes ?

It's time she learned to respect the wishes of the Scottish people

Scotland had its referendum and voted no, it's a democracy get over it and get on with running the country.

Do you also think the UK should have another referendum as they didn't get the answer they wanted?

For me a referendum on a question like this should be a once in a lifetime event not a once every few years until apathy sets in and you get the answer you were after.

She said this: “It would allow us to take control of our own destiny, to build our own prosperity on strong and stable foundations.”

Sounds like a vote for Brexit

The thread, Nicola Sturgeon or Scottish Independence?

 

[Farmergeddon]

Nothing 'ends well' because when it is 'well' it dosent 'end', it is only when it fails that it 'ends'.. The end is not nigh!! The Scots will not now vote for Independence and staying in Europe because of the state of the eu and with one of its main contributors pulling out it can only go down hill.. So the canny Scots will vote to stay with a growing economy where they can fleece us rather than a failing one which they can only drag further down.
