Have you considered North Korea?

Not quite sure what a military dictatorship has to do with socialism....

 

[MegaSteve]

If you think The SNP are close to be being socialist you've not been paying attention.If you think Scottish Labour are close to being socialist step away from the crack pipe.

Didn't ...............

Been paying attention enough to consider SNP's real 'prize' would be devomax.... Therefore making Doons day....

With the greatest of respect, I believe you may have made an error with the first sentence.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

You never let figures get in the way of your arguments do you.

According to the ONS there were, in 2012, just under 46.5 million voters in the UK as a whole.

Somehow I don't think there has been that big a population explosion in the intervening two years.

Yup sorry...I was going on population.
Still big numbers.

Then a look back in history may help. Remember, all men are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Ask Mao or Stalin or Hitler then.

Aye, Cameron might have made the biggest blunder in the history of British politics.Devo Max would have skooshed any vote and The SNP would have bitten his hand off for it on the paper, but the arrogance and assumption YES/NO would crush the nationalist movement was badly miscalculated.I know most folk on here think NO will win by a significant majority but I'd get ready for a surprise, especially with appointments like the lassie Priti Patel...she's on record for demanding Scotlands funding gets reduced.

As much as most folk (including me) dislike Salmond, watch him gear up in the next couple of months.

[Old Skier]

What would happen to Salmond and the SNP after a no vote ( if it happens) does he and his party have any standing left in Scotland and he stands under a banner that was rejected? Although I appreciate that Scotland would need another party, should it be the SNP?

60 million votes in England about 5 million in rrUK........England rUK it is the same.

In the present UK Yorkshire can out vote Scotland.

Really? How many MP's are there in Yorkshire?

Which doesn't mean that much really, Yorkshire is more densely populated area. So how many MP's does Yorkshire have.

Once you get your answers fellas, tell me again how Yorkshire can out vote Scotland?

I keep saying this, but the only way to get rid of Salmond and The SNP is to vote yes.

Does that not give him much needed platform.

Was only providing some numbers of voters

Unfortunately this is true however Salmond won't be around forever and a resounding no MAY quieten independence talk for another generation

Lesser of 2 evils

Not if the SNP don't win the first Independent Scotland General Election

 

[Val]

Which is irrelevant in the context of Yorkshire out voting Scotland, if individual counted then I'd agree but they don't.

I know that - just providing numbers in the context of an earlier post on numbers

A worry if it were true.

The Daily Mail does not have a monopoly on Nutters.

There are plenty of those reading the Mirror (all believing that everything from the economy to global warming and the failure of England at the World Cup is the fault of some Old Etonian) and the Guardian whose readers seem to have a conspiracy theory to fit every situation.

Still we could always have the Two Edded Monster Raving Loonies.

Hahaha:rofl::rofl: ..... there is nothing funnier than a Daily Mail reader attempting to justify its trash... oh leave off... my sides are sore..... but its very worrying that the North of England could be left to suffer from a coalition of Tory-Kippers should Scotland go YES

It certainly never ceases to amaze me the assumptions people like to make.

I am not, nor ever have been a Daily Mail reader, I do, however, appear to have greater balance than some in that I can see, unlike you, that there are idiots on all sides of the political spectrum.

Why you feel the need to be patticularly worried for the North of England I don't know. Could you not be bothered to study the results of the recent Euro elections and the level of support for UKIP "up North".

So if the country is to fall into the hands of a coalition of Tory-Kippers it looks like the rest of us will have to hold the Northerners responsible.
