If Nicola’s paying for this planning out her own purse or the SNP are using their own funds fair enough, but I’m sure it’s us tax payers who will pay for the SNP’s illegal posturing.
Us tax payers instructed her to proceed with this, that why we elected a pro independence government.Quote:

Actually, on the party list vote, a majority voted for Indy parties.Quote:

How much is Gove and his departments spending on his role as defender of the union?
Can you tell me more about the Scottish assembly?Quote:

You do realise you make yourself and your already very much toiling argument look dafter by desperately trying to twist things into your terms, rather than just backing down when proved wrong?Quote:

First votes only as you don’t get two votes in a referendum.
The figures are , Lib Dem’s, Labour, and conservative. 50.4 % of votes cast.
SNP and Greens 49 % of votes cast.
If you don't like the results based on the system in place then just ignore them and make up some other arbitrary method of determining the validity of government.Quote:

Do you really think someone who voted for labour, lib-dem, or conservative in the first vote and greens in the second vote are Indy supporters ?
My mum and dad did and areQuote:
