A wee reminder that people in England are very happy with the way things are going. If we want something different then we have to vote for independence.

Difficult to see how the gap between the Tories and Labour is going to narrow. The Starmer bounce just ain't happening and the UK Labour party looks like following the demise of Scottish Labour. Although not a Labour voter, I find this quite sad, as the UK needs a strong opposition to hold the nasty party to account.

There are 2 main obstacles though (1) There is a significant number of that 80% who are working class/have left of centre views, but who are still wedded to royalty/the union - the Rangers minded element if you like. They will never vote for independence even if politically it would benefit them, and (2) Some people are naturally scared of change.
The good news for the independence movement is that there has been a steady increase in the Yes support from ~29% in early 2014 to 50%+ today. I think with the positivity of an indyref2 campaign the Yes lead will increase further.
As has been well recognised, Boris being in power in Westminster has had a galvanising effect on support for independence. The further ahead he gets in the polls the more Scots will turn to independence.
As we head into the May Scottish elections though, the SNP are going to face an onslaught from the unionist parties and right wing media. To obtain a majority at Holyrood they will need to re-group, be united and stay strong throughout the campaign.Last edited by The Harp Awakes; 04-03-2021 at 08:22 PM.

Bozo is completely out his depth when more than a 3 word slogan is required.
Lie or mistake? Both worrying but doubt he or his supporters will bother unless they are directly affected.

So Boris misled Parliament on the whole COVID contracts being on record for the public to see.
I expect we'll have Douglas Ross and Ruth Davidson along any moment now demanding Boris resigns.

It is literally impossible for people not interested in politics to find out about this stuff. Truth is becoming marginalised.Last edited by hibsbollah; 05-03-2021 at 12:55 PM.

Try calling them out for their evident racism though, they run away crying in a big explosion of snowflakery.

Nothing on the BBC evening news tonight about Boris lying to parliament as per the high court judgement. It can’t be true then, can it?

I don’t fall into the rangers minded category and I also have no issue with change.
I don’t support independence for two main reasons
1) financially as a country we would be worse off with an impact on almost everyone.
2) I don’t believe the current government have done a good job and don’t relish the day they have full control. The alternatives also don’t give me any faith either.
None of the above means I support a try U.K. government though.

With so many things to legitimately criticise the Tories for, I wonder if there's a need to bring the appearance of individuals into it (unless it's actually relevant to how they do their job).

It’s lowest common denominator rubbish that we should be better than (I know, I know, “Jimmy Krankie” etc).
The Tories are a corrupt, incompetent open goal right now.
Maybe this is because I don’t mind Ruth Davidson that much? There are things I disagree with her on but there’s a lot I agree with her on.
Post-independence Scotland would be richer for someone eloquently carrying forward a centre right message against the grain of the public, even if only to make a fully informed choice to not vote for them. Davidson is capable of doing this, even if she’s been swallowed up by having to use little more than British nationalism in recent years.Last edited by Smartie; 06-03-2021 at 07:31 AM.

Ruth Davidson is, for me, what is wrong with politics in that the only thing she is interested in in is Ruth Davidson. Principles, beliefs and policies are completely fluid as long as it gets her where she wants to be.

It is the job of either side to convince the other that their point of view is more valid and Scotland, and life, would be better in their scenario.

Scotland is a resource rich country, and whilst there “could” be short term financial losses, I personally have no doubt that we would be no worse off financially in the long term.
My main worry with staying is that the sort of government that runs us from London would have no qualms about running us dry and then ditching us when we became a burden. Look at the way they treat the northern areas of England, do you think Scotland would fair any better if there was no longer any oil? Currently they have created a “levelling up” fund to combat poverty, but instead of the funding going to Glasgow, where it’s most needed, it’s going to Tory held border areas. It’s exactly the same in England.
The “too small, too poor” train of thought doesn’t resonate with me, I genuinely believe we are big enough and rich enough to thrive.

If you say the Scottish Government has failed in the SNHS, has the UK government done any better? (And that’s putting aside the stealth privatisation of the NHS). Has it faired any worse in education? Has it faired any worse when dealing with this pandemic?
Yes governments make mistakes, they always have and they always will, but for me the Independence argument is not about how well a government is performing in its own right, it’s about how well it’s performing against the alternative.
I see people down south envious of things like free prescriptions, free education, no bedroom tax, and even the cost of water! Some of them even think that they are paying for these benefits!!
It’s possible that in the short term there could be financial restraints, and I may not get to see any benefits in my lifetime, but I’d like to see a progressive forward thinking Scotland being forged for/by my children and their children.

Seems to be a Farage type political figure needing the attention and trying to be relevant.
