Gusmac, explain to me, how voting for Independence will force the wealthy elite and their political class puppets, to act in the interests of the Scottish people, before their own?

I honestly, have no idea what you think will change under independence. As I've said many times before, you, the people, don't really matter. The system is set up to look after their interests, and not yours.

You will be lucky, to see any significant change to your standard of living or the way you live. It may even get worse. :-|

Nice to see you getting the joke. :D

Explain to us how it won't get worse if we stay in this union.

It may very well get worse, staying in the union, but independence is no different. Now give my question your best shot. You're the one advocating independence, not me. :-|

No. I said it wouldn't because it's not in their interests. :-|

So if you agree with me, i.e. that it's not in their interests to put the people of Scotland first, before their own, why vote for independence?

You're right. I've not worked it. That's why I'm asking someone as knowledgeable as yourself, to explain it to me.

First let me ask you, where in the pecking order do you think they put the interests of the people of Scotland?

The bottom of the pile. :-|

However, before you answer, have a look at this documentary, Chomsky, Tony Benn and a few others all with important points to make. Not the best documentary I've seen, but it gives you a pretty good understanding of how the real-world works. You might think it's too Americanized for a British audience, but it's not really any different here - same game, same rules. :-|


It's hosted by Woody Harrelson.

Well that's an hour and a bit of my life I won't get back :shock: Very little there I didn't know.

Get this skull, I already know how the world works. I'm just not content to wring my hands and accept that nothing can be changed.

Now, apart from Big business/Rich people and the politicians themselves, who else is above us in the pecking order?
