to the young Scots who said that because transport, health and education are devolved and not run well realise that the Scottish Government are restricted in what it can spend.We get grants from westmionster. Having control of our own finances is what is key to being independent. I didn't think our education system was that bad that unionist proganda could actually convince some people that we are too small, too week and too stupid to run our own affairs.

goodness me, who are these wee toffee nose numptys? should the SYP no actually represent Scotland as opposes to these folks who simply reiterate the Sun and Daily record headlines.

"we've been relying on England for wealth". God help us

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

Some wannabe future, Labour, career politicians in that lot. They certainly have that same knack for making preposterous and incoherent arguments against independence as their unionist heroes.

.......And to think, I used to support the idea of lowering the voting age to 16 lol.

That was actually depressingly bad.

This is one of the reasons why more powers on raising revenue are to be handed to the Scottish parliament so that its less restricted on its annual budget. However it should be pointed out that Scotland gets its fair share with Expenditure and Revenue within Scotland being pretty much in line, thats including taking into account North Sea Oil

Theres a difference between people thinking that Scotland is stronger as part of the UK and thinking its too weak to be a nation. The union is good. sorry
