UK General Election 2010

Post Reply New Topic

There is only one party worth voting for in Scotland, and they are the Scottish National Party.

Alex Salmond is just a Gordon Brown clone in a kilt. He'll sell your soul to the EU --or rather give it away for free-- whilst opening the flood gates to a sea of third-world immigrants who'll plunder, rape and pillage to the point where your country has all the character of a landfill site in Karachi.

I don't remember hearing about any open border policies. And I think you mean he will vastly improve our wealth from good strong relations with EU.

The trade agreements are already down, and have been for decades. So they won't really improve our wealth further at all.

If we are currently trading and budgeting through the UK government who have different policies and agendas, not to mention the fact they aren't that concerned about Scotland, how could there not be room for improvement?

I made assumptions about the UK's wealth being centralised. Do you think Scotland would get direct trade?

If we became an independent state. Otherwise, and obviously in the meantime, SNP MPs will campaign for a fairer deal with Scotland. For example, scrapping the electricity production charge on the national grid so that the potential of a vast renewable energy industry here can have a chance of ever succeeding.

Our local SMP for dunfermline and west fife is a lib dem, and he's been the best SMP we've ever had. He introduced new laws protecting learner drivers from sexual assault, secured funding for a new hospital and has fought to protect our local shipbuilding buisness from the threat of trident being stored in our communities. We are very anti-trident here, as although gordon brown was raised here, he wants to put nuclear subs in our community.
Everyone I know, be they tory, labour or liberal, say they will vote him back in again.
I think for local MP'S you should vote for the persons policies, not their parties. Of course for the overal goverment you should look at the parties. Nick Clegg impressed me very much in the televised debates, and I cannot wait til tomorrows.
Even though I can't vote yet
They need to decrease the voting age to 16. I mean think about it, I can have a baby, get married, leave school and get a job, but I can't vote.

I'm sorry, but how?
his main selling point for improving scotlands economy was the north sea oil rig. at the moment, scottish workers extract the oil and collect the money. then all that money goes down to london, where they take a huge cut of it and give us less than 30% back for our own economy. Under his proposistions, he claimed we would have enough money to build up the economy until the oil ran out. thing is, it's running out fast.
Plus, we also receive cuts from all other oil rigs, most doing better than the north sea oil rig.
He preys on peoples patriotism and centuaries old hatred of the english to try and make you see a dreamworld, where scots and only scots help our community. The reality is, we have in our entire country, less than half of the population in london.
Think about it.

meh give scotland a trial run, keep them in the union, but let them do all their own taxs, immigration, everything and then we'll see, put salmond to the test, make it perfectly clear for everyone what will happen, its a risk on scotland but if the scottish people vote for it then its their choice

I'm campaigning and voting for...

You're a libertarian, right?

You'd probably be best suited to either UKIP (we have a decent-sized classical liberal wing) or a very new party called the Libertarian Party UK.

Couldn't agree with you more.

That's the point in independence for Scotland. None of the other parties want a fair deal for Scotland. Also, SNP will fight to scrap the renewal of trident.

That's quite a popular tactic people have, particularly in England, which is to paint a picture of the SNP as anti England. Quite the opposite. This isn't Spain; we're not blowing up innocent people for independence, we're campaigning for a referendum on the matter.

And a small population doesn't mean a poor country. There's other European countries far smaller who can manage on their own.

Why would we want to vote for the idea of a referendum on ALL major issues?
