Comparing turn out of a council election to a referendum on your nations independence is ridiculous, what was the turn out of the hibs club election

I wasn't comparing. I asked what I thought was a reasonable question. The point, of course, was to try and establish what would be a sufficient turnout that would reflect "the will.of the people ".

The fact council election have people of all parties vote on it makes it irrelevant to this. The low turn out is due to people having little interest. The 32% is mixed, not just one side not voting

People obviously have huge interest in independence referendum. If one side doesn't vote and there is a decent amount under 50% turn out, no one will take it seriously

So "more than 50%"?

The last one was won with a little under 47% of the elecorate.

I wouldn't say that was a decent amount under 50. But far more importantly both sides voted. All over the world no one takes a referendum seriously if its only one side voting.

Although I'm unsure if the snp want a vote right now when most polls are consistently No

You're not daft Jack, you know exactly why we're being denied a referendum. First line of defence, don't let those Jocks ask the question. Democracy doesn't come into it.

They aren't completely accurate but if they are consistently saying this year that no is ahead, you unfortunately would be daft to say its anything but too close to call. We'd want to have a good lead and a bit of confidence going in. Because if this is another no, then I can't see another referendum for decades

Who she?

Used to be the Tory shadow tourism minister, who was fined over £50,000 for breaking the law on workplace pensions at the upmarket hotel she owned. The fine had increased as she refused to pay the initial one.

Typical tory...one rule for the Plebs, another for them.

She also claimed last night that the unemployment rate was higher in Scotland than the UK...another lie.

If you have in your manifesto that you will make it law that everyone has to eat cheese on a Tuesday and you win the election then it's your right to do so, doesn't matter what's been said previously or how much other people moan about it, it's democracy but some people seem to want to pick and choose what parts of that they actually want

Not like it's just one election either, it's every single one since 2014

A political generation is 7 years. We know that because that is stated in the Belfast agreement, an agreement the British government are signatories to.

A generation can't surely be different in Northern Ireland to Scotland, no?

The definition of a word is whatever the current Conservative government says it is, that's what strong leadership's all about.

Legal advice on IndyRef2 to be published in June after a 13 month battle to release it under FOI laws. Scottish Government ministers found to have breached the FOI legislation.

Any news on Michael Goves illegal polling on Scottish independence which was supposed to be released within 4 weeks of July 15th 2021.

I agree. As I said, we won't get indy with EU approval by holding an advisory ref where the UKG isn't on board and the Unionist side boycotts. It's definitely worth playing the long game to keep EU sympathies on our side.
