I'll predict this much though. Whoever governs an independent Scotland in the next decade or two will be far more left leaning than anything we have seen from Westminster since the seventies or will see if we vote to stay.

And I'll predict this much as well.
It won't matter which way your politicians will be leaning towards, they will still have their noses in the trough the same as politicians everywhere.

We'll see.

I don't think the Scottish public would keep voting for people who routinely abuse their power and stick two fingers up at their electorate. The English public seem to do this all the time.

Since you agree with corruption, your opinion is irrelevant.

But if it is assumed that most politicians from all party's are on the make then by your analogy, no one in Scotland would vote.

Sounds about right I have a golden rule that if I'm nearer home than morrisons I use BP if I'm nearer morrisons I use them 2p a litre difference is quickly wiped out by the 2.5 miles from morrisons to home at the end of the shift



My sister works at Morrisons in Stamford, she works on the Deli counter. If you're ever shopping in there stroll up to the Deli counter and ask for Karen, if she's on shift tell her Nidge "says I'm the better looking one in the family". She'll freak out. :D :D :D :D

Haven't they lowered the voting age in Scotland to 16 to accommodate for the independence voting?
