Complete bollocks. Scotland's budget is decided by Westminster and is a fraction of the money sent south.
To my knowledge the SG has never run a deficit. A claim few Westminster governments could make.


Now thats Bollocks..i fear you'd belive owt you were told by the Pro Indy types.

Polls predicting high 40s, equals balance of power if there is no overall majority :D

None, we'll just sit back and watch them squirm :lol:

Seriously, I'm sure it'll depend on the policy and what's in it for us (Scotland), We had to run a minority gov let's see how Westminster copes :wink:

I doubt that there would be any squirming. I doubt that your MPs will spend that much time in the house to actually be present for the voting. MPs usually "pair up" with a member of another party so that they don't have to always be present for votes. Now who do you think is going to "pair up" with any of your MPs?

Again it depends on what the vote is about, on pairing up I'm seeing it as the onus is on the party in power, they will be the one doing the approaching, with the SNP being a broad church I see the attractiveness that will bring but then again we may not be willing to do the norm, a third party with say 50 seats in a hung parliament is a powerful party :wink:

More than that :wink:
Probably more than your current yellow Tory lackeys and far more than the purple Tories can manage from the whole of the UK.
