Economic output dipped in the fourth quarter of last year. If the same happens this quarter, and on the consumer activity I'm seeing it is going to be the same this quarter, triple dip looms.

Osborne says he's going to confront the problem. Great. Because he caused it in the first place by cutting too far too deep. Converting tax payers into benefits junkies was his policy.

And all he was doing was what all Tory governments do - help their capitalist pals by increasing unemployment and driving down wages. And fear of being cast into the economic matter is all it takes to keep the labour pool sheeple servile. Hardly original is it?

Then we get Clegg saying that government policy MAY have been wrong by cutting public investment too deeply.

Dohhhh! you thick politician.

Even cabbies and hairdressers were saying that when you were doing it. But you knew better you arrogant feckwit.

This CONDEM Tory party has got it woefully wrong.

Don't we need a new election so as the parties can give US the choice of direction we want the nation to take.

And more cuts, and more taxes, and nothing done to curtail the energy profiteers has to rank high on the list.

:?

So Gusmac, tell us what wee eck is going to do with the economy that's better than these Westminster imbeciles?

Nothing he can do IMO, other than try to mitigate the worst of it.
These Westminster imbeciles still have charge of the most important areas of our economy.

TBH a trained chimp with an abacus could do better than this shower of uppercrust shite.

Yup! I agree.

But how would things be better under Eck?

The question presupposes that Salmond will continue as FM after independence, and that the SNP will continue to have a majority in a system which was specifically designed to prevent exactly that happening.
No one was ever meant to gain a majority at Holyrood, which makes the SNP's victory in 2011 all the more remarkable. Repeating it would be no mean feat, especially with their main raison d'ĂȘtre gone, along with the party unity surrounding it.

But to answer your question, it will equip any future Scottish government, of any persuasion, with the tools they need to make the right economic decisions for Scotland, rather than trusting that a future UK government will make them for us.

What they do with these tools remains to be seen. I'm sure we are as capable of electing corrupt, incompetent or self-serving politicians as the rest of the UK.
We will certainly be better placed to get rid of them.
