Mungler Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I am all for the SNP. The quicker we devolve the cheaper it will be for us soft southern tax payers. Your Parliament made the Dome look like good value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cacciatore Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Labour may still come out as majority with a lab-lib coalition but the way I look at it, they will potentially have lower majority if they do make a coalition which is good news. SNP might take majority but they will have to drop the independence issue as Liberals and Tories are unionist and there are not enough smaller parties to make a coalition for the independence issue so the union will potentially remain strong just without labour in charge. Labour also got a thrashing everywhere else. Tony Blair says its looking promising, I agree with him. Whatever way you look at it, it was a good day.

Mungler Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 .........We`ll keep the oil and gas then ?............ Erm, that was never yours in the first place for us to give back You don't appear to have an army, air force or navy - if you wanted the oil and gas, following devolution we would immediately have to invade and annex all the nice bits Edinburgh, St Andrews and would leave you with Glasgow. That being said, if war was declared you would have to send call out papers and that would mean no more drunk beggars in London . Sounds like win win.

il cacciatore Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Though the SNP had in their manifesto: "the Scottish Parliament to restrict access to all firearms, including airguns" So SNP may ban and see the demise of shooting in Scotland but it was going to happen anyway to be fair. At least they are clear about it unlike labour. edit - **** how did a happy smiley get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cacciatore Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 To be fair we are all in EU so wont need a passport to go to england to be fair. Though Tories might pull out if Scotland broke away cause they are EU skeptics with SNP being all for it. European Free Trade Alliance would be better for Britain.

Wookie Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 And in the Telegraph today, another fine decision by President/Genralissimo Blair: Linky link-link Looks like we're going to be signed up to Brussels without a referendum or any type of popular discussion. w4nkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
