@mwhite148 Dont make me laugh its you thats not worthy of debate! like all unionists you keep spouting the same bogey man ,disaster bullshit .Please change the record?.

[mwhite148]

@1966thewallace I acknowledged in my second last comment that indeed the SNP did win the election, and I postulated on why that occured as well as correcting your fallacy in saying that the SNP took over 50% of the vote, which they did not. Now thus far, you have failed to say anything constructive or worthy of debate and I really cannot be bothered wasting any more argument with you, given that there is no reciprocation going on in terms of intelligent debate.

@mwhite148 Its you that should read whats been written!now answer my last question WHO WON???

[mwhite148]

@1966thewallace Are you actually reading or taking in anything that I'm saying? Why bother entering a discussion about this when you clearly have nothing constructive to contribute, nor are you even able to acknowledge a word I'm saying?

@mwhite148 Who won a landslide victory over the unionist scummy quislings scottish cons,libs,lab????

[mwhite148]

@1966thewallace Well for starters, the SNP did not receive over 50% of the vote, they took 44% on the list vote and 45% on the constituency vote. Also, the SNP did not win on the sole issue of independence. Labour failed people all across Britain with their reckless spending and deficit denial, and whilst England and Wales chose the Tories to sort the mess, Scotland went to the SNP as the only party capable of defeating Labour. The Scottish Labour campaign was a bit of a disaster as well.

@mwhite148 You talk a load of shite!! over 50percent of the people voted for us ,more than a few people in the north i think?.
