Is this something she strives for and is a personal goal or do the Scots wish to break away from the Union ,we have I’m sure,many Scottish people on AB, I wonder what their thoughts are about ‘going it alone’

why on earth anyone would want to vote for a party who increased level of income tax to higher than the rest of the UK beats me. Her and Salmond once said vote for us and we'll get rid of council tax. Well, they were voted in an you'll never guess, wait for it, they didn't. Shock, horror. A year after minimum price for alcohol was introduced, did they brag about how...

No I won't be voting for her cant be bothered with another 5 years of deal or no deal hard or soft border and of course the money better the devil you know
sorry i got blipped...
Wasn't even a true profanity. Just too much Father Ted.
Do you think Nicola could be a mod on here, as I said the same as you and haven’t been blipped?
never mind, i think she is delusional, and so full of herself that no one else matters.
That quite deep
I always think it’s best to leave these type of questions to people who DONT live in Scotland, their perception is amazing. Carry on folks !!!!
An arrogant woman who appears to regard herself not only as a main player on the political world stage but as a latter day William Wallace looking for a prominent place in history as the saviour of the Scots. Just one snag. His fight was justified – she, on the other hand, doesn’t know which side Scotland’s bread is buttered. The Scots need to kick her into the long grass once and for all. Times have changed.
yes they should kick her into touch, or the long grass, matters not.. she wants to be part of the EU, but ditch the rest of the UK, why?
Not the first time you have given that wee speech Naomi. Maybe you require new material.
That's because I haven't changed my mind, anneasquith.

What do you have to say about the OP - or are you, as you so often do, restricting your input to attacking those who have bothered to contribute?
//An arrogant woman who appears to regard herself not only as a main player on the political world stage// or any other stage for that matter. Good description of yourself Naomi.
Emmi, who are * they* who should kick her into touch ? . Or are you just copying Naomi, as you have nothing original to say yourself ?
Lol ‘best answer’ to maggiebee
Independence would be a (financial) disaster.

Scotland has been heavily subsidised by the rest of the UK for the last 20 years at least - £15 billion in 2015/2016 :

https://fullfact.org/economy/tax-and-spending-scotland/

I love Scotland, and I like (by and large) the Scots. I have no wish to change the current fiscal balance - it's manageable and worthwhile whilst Scotland is in the UK.

I also recognise that Scotland is fully entitled to decide to leave the UK - although I'd rather it didn't - but if it does go, then all bets are off on subsidy and I'm afraid my (not very funny) jibe of "Greece without the Sunshine" will be all too true.
Do you have anything to say about the OP, maggiebee - or are you too joining in just to kick other people - as you also so often do?
Do you want to buy a couple nukes Dave? we’ve got a few we dinae want, that will save us a couple o bob to start with
One of the problems with the English posters on this site is that they don't seem to grasp that the whole raison d'etre for the SNP is independence. Interesting tweet from a member of the SNPs today. "Serious Question. Is it actually legal to broadcast a political debate into homes in Scotland which excludes @theSNP but includes the very small Libdem party? Whose "leader" is actually contesting a Scottish seat?"
You can keep 'em steg - I'd cancel Trident in a heartbeat and spend the money on .... pretty much anything else.
" that will save us a couple o bob to start with"

& cost you a rake of jobs?
