Scotland Debate

[Adi2Dassler]

Ok, let's go with this. I realise the white paper is the snp's vision but my understanding, which may well be wrong, is that it will form the basis of the negotiations between Friday and the 2016 "go live".

So if that's not the case, does that mean we're having an election between a yes vote and the start of negotiations so that the negotiating team have a proper mandate?

Honest question.

I would imagine no election but a cross party/no party collection of politicians from both Holyrood and Westminster representing the best interests of Scotland.It seems reasonable to me?

I refer back to my previous comment, who picks them?! You can't just say it will happen naturally, because politics doesn't work like that. Everyone will have their own opinion.

In theory Yes wins so Yes starts the process, so Salmond/Sturgeon/Hosie/Harvie will invite the others.

So the pledge by DC/EM and the other one is already being put into doubt by back benchers.Which leads to the question at the start: why are they so desperate to keep Scotland in the union?Why in effect reduce spending even more in rUK to keep Scotland in the union?Why do that?

120 pages in and you're still asking why they don't want to break up a successful union

9PM Tonight BBC News Channel HD- live debate hosted by Radio 1- featuring the future generation on Scotland- should be good.

Yes.I'm yet to be given a good answer.Can you provide one?

Exactly, you would imagine. Day 1 post a yes vote and even an independence evangelist like yourself doesn't know what will happen.

Not to a Yes voter no more than you can give a good reason to the RUK why you want to jump ship.

 

[CMAC]

yes I can, you will spin it though like the whole YES campaign has done with anything remotely positive.

You do realise we want the same things but you want it in a much more radical and destructive way?

That's understandable, but surely the issue is if Salmand is choosing who to invite, there will clearly be an inherent bias with who he picks!

 

[One Planer]

I see Salmond is on Sky News again saying how an independent Scotland will use the pound and no-one can stop them.

That's not in doubt.

He still failed to answer the no currency union question. Undead he have the "it's in both out interests'" answer.

Well dodged sir, well dodged.

I waiting for someone to press him on that subject, just to see how long he can squirm.

Is anyone else concerned at the ever worsening deal for the rest of the UK to bribe the Scots to stay?

 

[Dodger]

Isle of Man,Jersey,Guernsey......not us apparently though.

I liked Kevin Bridges Dad......"Have it based in Stirling and call it the Poon....Poon Stirling".:lol:

Getting that way.

Thats because the Yes side are not interested in democracy, it's the nationalist/republican way.

Anyone living in RUK will be welcome to the real thing.

What has been promised that makes it a worsening deal for rUK? More powers for them doesn't mean things are worse for the rest of us?

 

[CheltenhamHacker]

Salmond is now criticising the Westmister leaders for not having any "Content". You couldn't make this up.
