Plenty wrong with certain areas of the EU, but it seems to me that Scots are more inclined to a lot of Europe's policies/approaches than to England's.

I suggest you contemplate your own Logic. I am being told that 'possibly' the majority of Scots want to break away from the United Kingdom as they wish to have more control of their political and cultural destiny but they are also more inclined towards a United State of Europe where the interference with their future would be far greater. Wheres the logic in that.

Thanks in anticipation of a grown up reply. :thup:

Seems like you are actually agreeing with me!

Not really. I was suggesting a paradox in that they want to be set free from Westminster only to be shackled by Brussels.

Er. You were also suggesting that it - ditching Westminster for Brussels/Strasbourg - was a paradox.....

Everything else was a wordy rephrasing along the same lines as my point!

Essex seems to be revolting.

Clacton Tory MP quits to join the Kippers.
One off, or the first of many do you think?

Clacton is indeed one of the more revolting parts of Essex!

Problem is that there is nowhere else for seriously Euro-skeptic MPs to go!

At least he has done what I believe is the right thing to do and resigned as MP, so that Clacton can select either him personally or the Conservatives - or whoever else - in the same way they elected him in 2010.

I think many of the undoubted other Euro-Skeptics will wait to see what happens in the By-Election before making a decision. If it goes against the Conservatives, then they may decide that they are better to put additional pressure on the leadership from within.

The view is that Scotland will break away and thats how the voting looks like going , But come the day when people have to vote for real and it then counts you may well be surprised they dont want to break away , alone in the ballot box , how many times have you gone to vote only to change your mind at the very last , I know i have more then once

And so it starts. At some point the quiet people will make their decisions and the chickens will indeed come home to roost. Knock the Kippers if you must but Nigel will not go away.

Opinion polls have consistently shown Yes in the lead so I have no idea where you get the idea that is the way the vote looks like going. Every opinion poll currently indicates the opposite.

It does look more likely now than ever.Polls tightening and even then, pollsters can't call those without a landline, and those without a landline are generally in housing schemes and generally inclined to vote aye.

my £200 @ 12/1 last winter looks better everyday
