It just seems they are hawking themselves round the world as a subJugatee! PMSL

But where do the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon get such an idea that the majority of Scottish people do want independence?

Someone must be telling them .

//she just doesn't want to be governed by a parliament hundreds of miles away which has, generally speaking, zero interest in Scotland or its people other than the oil off its shores//
But is willing to have Brussels as the governing cabal.
The gas that will be yielded once England and Wales get fracking will be enough to fuel the economy for generations and the oil in the Weald basin is more than a cup full, with no massive problems getting it ashore.

The SNP do not have a majority in the Scottish Parliament, they relied on the Greens in the recent referendum call.

They have a landslide in the 2015 with all seats bar 3. They all but had the majority, just a tad under 50%, technically not the majority but practically one - and the independence vote got pretty well stuffed in the 2014 referendum.

landslide in the UK general election to clarify.

If the Scottish parliament had the same voting system as westmonster the SNP would of won about 80% of the seats

It really bugs me when Scots are accused of hating the English. What utter nonsense.

[steg]

They only say it to justify their own hate of the Scots

[-Talbot-]

The question 'are you blinded by your hate for Scotland' would be a fair question TTT ... are you?

[emmie]

i don't hate the Scots or Scotland, in fact i have had plenty of friends north of the border.

[wolf63]

The English don't hate us - they are merely jealous of us.

[emmie]

why would we be jealous ?

[Islay]

Lol Wolf enough of them come to Scotland on holiday to see the beauty don't they.
2sp, I agree, certainly on this thread it seems the other way round.

^No doubt.

i still think we are better together than apart, this division so called is nothing but media driven, you see it all the time, Ms Sturgeon does stoke the fires i guess but she is still only doing her job which is to put Scotland first.
