@tehXade I'm getting tired of saying this now. We don't want independence because we are ruled by England (which we are not) or because we think England is to blame for everything. We want independence because that is the normal progression for any nation! We want to govern ourselves. What is so hard for you to understand that? We don't want to be ruled from London anymore just like all the other countries before us who wanted independence from London! It's not a new thing!

@BritishLibertarian Irish ancestry? WTF does ancestry have to do with it?

Ancestry is irrelevant.

King James VI of Scots formed the United Kingdom in 1603, not the 1707 British construct that was supported by Queen Ann who was the monarch of the time.

The United Kingdom (UK) is a different constitution and pre-dates the political constitution of Great Britain (GB).

Also, King and Kingship doesn't mean the same thing in Scotland like it does in France and England. The Scots are the sovereign.

[MrScantregard]

@Capt777harris scotland would gain its own free will and not the will of norman tyrants who have no cultural or blood ties to the four nations that it dictates to..the uk is a joke thats been going sour since 1066 and weve had enough..dont worry about what scotland would gain we dont a nation of 6 million with more than enough natural sustainable resources to provide security for her people many times over..we are the envy of europe

[MrScantregard]

theres only ane force in scotland as labour is nothing more than the last dregs of a desperate unionist hangover..wake up and smell the saltire do you smell it yit?carolyn bint self appointed window dressing of the labour party..does that not tell ye sdomething?who made her bell of the ball..nothing but a dried up old sea hag..dry yer eyes

@ukipwarrior The English are swing voters without allegiance to any political party. You may recall the anti-Conservative sentiment that was prevalent for most of the 1990s. Times change. Labour will get majorities in the future.

Indeed, there is an argument that, like Labour after Thatcher (with the changing of Clause IV), the modern Tory party has been pulled towards the centre of the political spectrum by the left wing.

And those "inner city hellholes" provide most of our GDP!

@BasilFawlty4444 england is not a conservative nation?!?!? How come they accumulated the most votes in 2010 in addition to the electoral map being largely blue rinse in England...outside of the inner city hellholes

[BasilFawlty4444]

@ukipwarrior Oh please; it's delusional to suggest that Scotland leaving the Union will be the death of Labour in England.

It's a myth made up by the right wing press - England is not a right wing country in any sense. And it never has been.

I suppose you never saw Question Time a couple of weeks ago, when Dimbleby told us the stark truth - post-war (ie since 1945) Labour majorities didn't require Scotland.

The Tories couldn't even get a majority after GORDON BROWN.

@BasilFawlty4444 MAJORITY is the key word in your post. The abondonment of the union of the scots will lead to the ruination of liebour in England :-) Coupled with the boundary changes as well leads to only one outcome.
