Allan MSP has sailed through my letter box as if on a magic carpet. Wafted in on angel dust it states that he welcomes the opportunity that he has had to to respond to the Scottish Government's consultation on the draft referendum bill. And so it goes on with him being pleased that everyone will get a chance to have their say. Err...no.<br /><br />Someone is going to get a bollocking for sending this out, or maybe it wasn't a mishtake at all?Dr Evadnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106629519215495848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-58278384987683063232010-09-13T14:24:47.899+00:002010-09-13T14:24:47.899+00:00Yes, the number one policy - an independent Scotla...Yes, the number one policy - an independent Scotland, was not even debated openly once they came to power...<br /><br />Bizarre in the extreme, if I was daft enough to support the SNP I would be disgusted with Salmond.

Angus, I'm confused, are you seriously saying we were better of under Labour?! <br /><br />Be real, even a Liberal party is sure to disappoint you eventually if you believe all its spin. The best we can hope for is they are not quite as bad as the other lot.LSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-17018828655041699082010-09-13T09:10:32.530+00:002010-09-13T09:10:32.530+00:00Go on then, who is on that list?Go on then, who is on that list?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-69823620463340803822010-09-12T20:53:47.195+00:002010-09-12T20:53:47.195+00:00Oh dear. seems someone is spinning a web of porky...Oh dear. seems someone is spinning a web of porkys <br /><br />your story has no credibility whatsoever - go and try to find a name of any SNP member who is disillusioned and ask them to declare it publically.<br /><br />Do you honestly expect New Labour to walk into Bute House when they have Iain Grey at the helm?

Independence/Fiscal autonomy/Devolution max is not longer seen as extreme, and it is only a matter of time before it comes in some shape or form. The Tory, Labour and to a lesser degree Liberal parties in Scotland have to achieve greater autonomy within their party machinery to maximise their relevance and attractiveness to Scottish voters. And don't be under any illusions that the results of the last UK election will be replicated here at the Scottish elections. Voters are not stupid, and their voting intentions are tempered by the probability of the party or candidate actually winning (viz Liberals disappointing final showing last time round). We all realise that our electoral system favours smaller parties here, and so ends up being more representative. I would be very surprised (and very disappointed) if labour took an absolute majority at the next election. And I would actually not be in the least surprised to see the SNP hold their own. Maybe the Greens will increase their presence to hold a balance of power!!!Quiet Scotnoreply@blogger.com
