Scottish ref mark 2

[MarkE]

Was the vote not anti-immigration rather than anti-Westminster?

It's only really the last 5 years or so that immigration was ever mentioned as a problem in my neck of the woods(East anglia). Wheras anti Westminster and especially anti EU sentiment is long established. Immigration may well have recently pushed us to a Leave vote but it was'nt the driving force.

Was the vote not anti-immigration rather than anti-Westminster?

I am born and bred in Scotland. I voted no for Scottish parliament, no for independence and YES for remain.

The Scottish parliament has far too much power already. Why give free travel to people aged 60 in full time employment and millionaire pensioners? They have also wasted billions on the parliament building, trams in Edinburgh and free prescriptions for all. At the same time education is in disarray and nobody wants to be a GP!

Trams were an Edinburgh [Labour] Council disaster.
It cost more to collect the money and manage prescription fee systems. Making them free actually saved money.
Parliament Building was a Donald Dewer [Labour] disaster.
GP's are a UK problem, Scotland doing better than rUK
Education, not so sure about that. My Council seems to be doing quite a good job, others seem to be struggling.

I will agree about the OAP bus fares though.:lol:
