"Give us all a vote......I'd vote twice if I could" Give people outside of Scotland a vote on Scottish independence ? I wonder how people would feel then if there ever was an English independence referendum and if they would be more than happy with the Scottish people voting on an English referendum. I think people living in England would be going mad allowing another countries people to have a say in their referendum thats how it will never happen. | |||

Now ive asked this question a few times but nobody wants to answer it, which oil fields legally belong to Scotland?. When i looked this up the other day i couldn't find any, they all seemed to belong to private companies? The oil money we all talk about seemed to be a tax upon the oil as its brought ashore for processing. It would be interesting to know if anybody actually knows the real figures? | |||

When We get Our independence the Tories will probably rule forever ! " The Scottish vote is almost always irrelevant in deciding the government. The reason they want to maintain the UK is on economic lines. BBC 4 show last week that showed analysis done by independent US economist that detailed Scotland's contributions to the UK had kept it afloat. Worth watching, I'll get the name if you like | |||

"Private companies own the rights to the oil in the north sea and were sold rights to other sources in and around the Shetlands. This was initially done by Thatcher upon discovery diametrically differed from what the Norwegians done. The EU in their "fair competition" agenda meant accession to the eu was unattractive to the Norwegians as they would have to allow private companies into their oil. For Scotland, there is a vast amount of untapped oil that we could utilise as the Norwegians done, check out hurricane energy's latest statement. Even on tax receipts the Norwegians do it better, check out the tax shell paid there compared to here. And finally....not all if us think taking more oil out the ground is a good thing. Hope that gives you a good starting point" . See thats pretty much how i was reading it earlier, so if Scotland want to be in the EU they cant have a state run oil company like Norway do where they actually get the profits from the oil not just a tax on each barrel brought ashore, also the trouble with that i can foresee is you cant really put the tax up either as the oil companies could just pump it to Norway instead. The figures i read varies wildly depending on oil prices from anything from 10 billon extra revenue to Scotland to only 1.6 billon extra revenue and also how it was divided upon leaving, there? seems to be good legal argument for both sides for a slightly better share either way, however the figures really didnt look even at best best as if Scotland would be anything like on a par with Norway (maybe in 40 years time after many decades of work like Norway has done) but thats a long time to be second guessing on it seems Norway have put all their profits in a trust fund for future revenue so even they dont think it will be around for the near future is 40-80 years | |||

It's just been done so haphazardly within the union. The money we have wasted from the oil could have made us world leaders in green energy technology and productivity if invested properly. The oil is in Scottish waters and I can't see rUK having any legal basis to demand a share but everything is up for negotiation I imagine. As I say, the oil is not the basis of many people's motivation for independence but for those interested, the capability to extract heavy oil is now available on many sites unfortunately. | |||

"Its a shame the Scottish governments own accounts say differently. Scotland does indeed pay into the UK but does get more in return. Even the Scottish Parliament Information Centre accepts that Scotland accounted for 9.1% of UK public spending yet only contributed 7.9% of UK revenue in 2015/16. " Ah the GERS argument again. Which party was it that set up the GERS ? Also the Scottish government have to go with those figures by law. Now the bigger picture is that GERS does not show how an independent Scotland would be run what the GERS show is under Westminster mis-mangagement Scotland is being screwed as we all know money is not devolved to Scotland that is reversed to Westminster and seen as the Tories who are the UK government right now are not meeting targets and adding the UK debt that tell's you everything you need to know Hell Labour bankrupted the UK and when the Tories came into power in 2010 they have managed to rack up more debt than any Labour government in history tell me again why the UK is so grat for Scotland when we reject the Tories ? | |||

"One country the UK finds oil and shares the profits around the four regions based on how many people live there?. Im still struggling to find whats unfair about that?. Actually what seems unfair is that one region(Scotland) of that country(UK) now decides it wants a bigger share than the rest of us get per capita" fairly simple, its found in Scottish waters, read the white paper, it will explain anyway, do you want this link or not, may solve all your questions | |||

"Now that Holyrood has passed on having a new Scottish independence referendum and for a section 30 order to agreement. Now like i said it would be unwise for an unelected PM to block a independence referendum as Theresa May stands on NO manifesto of her own and has no mandate. Hell Nicola has even said she will have talks with Theresa May on when an independence referendum should take places as Nicola is willing to talk and show compromise if this suppose to be an equal partnership its high time the UK government prove it or Scotland will say goodbye to the union. Now for anyone that says SNP does not speak for Scotland then ask yourself who do you think then does speak for Scotland ? What is so wrong about letting the people of Scotland make a decide on if we agree to the final brexit deal or if we would rather an independent Scotland within the EU as Scotland did vote to remain in the EU. Also i do keep hearing that is was a UK vote yes that is correct but in 2014 the NO camp said to vote no and the EU will be safe in the UK and now its now safe in the EU as promised. People are allowed to change their minds that is their right and no one should deny anyone that right. Each one of the pro union MSP's have kept up with there shite about the Scottish government not listening to parliament on fracking the footballact etc what they do not tell you is on fracking there is a moratorium which means NO fracking here in Scotland and on the football act not one of the union parties have come forward with a bill on what they would do with it you cant seriously say vote against the football act and replace it with bugger all and allowing nasty songs to be sung in football grounds again. All i will say is the people of Scotland should be allowed to decide its own future instead of being told by the Tories what will happen. If you believe in the union thats good you will get to vote no again but you cant deny people a vote on those who have changed their minds that is a dictatorship and not one i want to live in " people seem to have forgotten what the OP was, so here it is again (above) would be good if some could stick to the subject | |||

"One country the UK finds oil and shares the profits around the four regions based on how many people live there?. Im still struggling to find whats unfair about that?. Actually what seems unfair is that one region(Scotland) of that country(UK) now decides it wants a bigger share than the rest of us get per capita fairly simple, its found in Scottish waters, read the white paper, it will explain anyway, do you want this link or not, may solve all your questions" . But weve been one country since the union in 1700 ONE COUNTRY, so what you actually want to do is renague on the original promise where we all agreed to pool resources and share them out fairly on a per person basis?. | |||

"Now that Holyrood has passed on having a new Scottish independence referendum and for a section 30 order to agreement. Now like i said it would be unwise for an unelected PM to block a independence referendum as Theresa May stands on NO manifesto of her own and has no mandate. Hell Nicola has even said she will have talks with Theresa May on when an independence referendum should take places as Nicola is willing to talk and show compromise if this suppose to be an equal partnership its high time the UK government prove it or Scotland will say goodbye to the union. Now for anyone that says SNP does not speak for Scotland then ask yourself who do you think then does speak for Scotland ? What is so wrong about letting the people of Scotland make a decide on if we agree to the final brexit deal or if we would rather an independent Scotland within the EU as Scotland did vote to remain in the EU. Also i do keep hearing that is was a UK vote yes that is correct but in 2014 the NO camp said to vote no and the EU will be safe in the UK and now its now safe in the EU as promised. People are allowed to change their minds that is their right and no one should deny anyone that right.

The EU is a political union and not one country. Northern Ireland plays with the republic at rugby. You're argument is a burst baw. Also never clarified the assertion of my advocating of nationalism or advancing EU integration and didn't acknowledge it was you that dragged up the act of union. Clamped | |||

" It turns out its shared around on a per capita basis, if you get 47 million more people to live in Scotland youd get the same income stream, i always thought the Scots wanted a more compassionate society where the name of the game is sharing between one country (the UK) obviously not Sharing!!!!! as I have said before; to see the countries of Scotland and England stand together as equals. “There is a difference between partnership and subordination – the first encourages mutual respect, the second breeds resentment.” What is wrong with an Independent Scotland working along with England as two equals, as partners a truly "United" UK as equals.

"I have heard the arguments on social media about UK subsides Scotland now if Scotland is such a drain on the rUK, as were often told, shouldn't the £ be rising on this news? Pound plunges below $1.15 as Scottish parliament backs call for independence referendum. " For a nation that is a huge net importer, this relentless fall in the GBP is not good for the people who live in the U.K. The average person has no direct correlation to the relatively small number of exporters in the country and therefore has no direct benefit. They will and do however, experience the effects of devaluation through inflation. Unfortunately, inflation derived from devaluation is the worst kind of inflation because any increase in interest rates to fix the problem only reduces consumption. | |||

The union in 1707 created a political union of countries, not one country. Most importantly, independence is about looking forward not dragging up a history that none of us were alive to see. International law regarding national waters will govern this and and the UK have been telling us since the discovery of oil that it's a burden and running out so why would you want any .
You mean the UK who paid to discover it in the first place!, that UK political union of countrys thats not a country, tell me did the welsh or English or Irish send a few pennys over to fund the exploration?.
Oh yes you want one country then, but now is convenient for having your own?.
Everybody wants to look forward except it would seem the nationalists who like to drag up history for their own reasons
It was not myself who brought up the treaty of union, nor am I a nationalist so not sure who you're referring to. As for a political union, would you argue the eu is one country seeing as a political union exists?
For what the rUK put in, they have gained much more.
The bottom line remains, the people residing in Scotland, from the ages of 16 up, from all nationalities and backgrounds will let you know what we decide to do when the time comes.
It's comin yet.
What the fucks the point in arguing for greater EU integration if the first sign that Slovenia finds gold/oil/uranium and thinks oh well fuck it, Im alright jack weve just got this great new revenue stream, thanks for the money when we didnt have a pot to piss in though..... Cee yer
You mean that type of political union
I've not argued for increased EU integration either. So we've established that you brought up 1707. I'm not the nationalist and that I've not argued for anything regarding the eu. You feeling ok? .
We went and arent a political union like the EU, we are one country the united kingdom of great Britain and Ireland.
Ill give you a clue, watch the Olympics, here comes Germany and then France and Italy and the UK, all in an EU political union.
Notice no Scotland or England or Wales??
Aw the Olympics. Got me there. Wait so did the UK win the world cup in 66 then? And in 2003? Brilliant!
You argued a political union meant one country. The EU is a political union and not one country. Northern Ireland plays with the republic at rugby. You're argument is a burst baw.
Also never clarified the assertion of my advocating of nationalism or advancing EU integration and didn't acknowledge it was you that dragged up the act of union.
Clamped ". You do know football isnt governed by the same rules as the Olympics i presume? Wheres sovereignty been since 1707 then, Westminster parliament where MPs from Wales England Ireland and Scotland represent the people of the UK, with one bank,one currency, one exchequer and one prime minister. I cant think what else you call that but one country | |||

"Now like i said it would be unwise for an unelected PM to block a independence referendum as Theresa May stands on NO manifesto of her own and has no mandate. " Er, Theresa May is the leader of the party elected to form the government of the UK in the general election of 2015. I think you'll find that in the United Kingdom, we do not directly elect the Prime Miister. We vote for our constituency MP. The party with the largest number of MP's then forms a government and are free to choose who becomes Prime Minister, though usually, this will be the party leader at the time. Let me pose a question though. What would you suppose might have happened if, in the 2015 election, David Cameron had lost his seat, but the conservatives still managed to secure a majority? He would not have been able to continue as PM, as only an elected MP can do so. By your reasoning, Gordon Brown was an unelected Prime Minister - but no general election was called when he took over from Tony Bliar. Sir John Major took over from Margaret Thatcher in 1990 and was therefore an 'unelected' PM - until of course winning the election of 1992 If you're going to make statements on the constitution of the United Kingdom, please make sure that you check your facts | |||

Its not her 2015 manifesto so she has bugger all mandate and clearly does not have a mandate in Scotland though the Tories think with one mp that can do what the hell the want but thats not true. Lmao so remember when Gordon Brown took over the Labour party who was it that said there should be a election has he has no mandate oh its Theresa May lol She has some cheek eh maybe she should follow her own advice but she wont as she is shit feart that the SNP will win a bigger majority of MP's Also lets go back before my time but its in history of the bitch Thatcher saying that if Scotland voted in pro indy nationals that was enough to gain independence and the reason why i say she was a bitch is my family struggled through the poll tax and when she shut down the coal mines just as alot of families suffered with that | |||

"If anyone is watching the embarrassment of Theresa May right now on BBC1 on a new Scottish independence referendum should be be embarrassed to have that as a PM So she says now is not the time well fucking duh the Scottish government are not asking for one the now its when the Scottish people will know the final deal and when asked when would be the time she went back to her pish tired old crap line of ''it shouldnt be a question if but whether there should be one'' If you can read between the lines of what she is saying is she cant block it and she is trying to deny it that wont work as there is people out there in Scotland that have changed their minds on independence and they have a right to do so and cant deny someone that right or its truly a dictatorship " She ain't wearing no bike lock as necklace now...

I cannot believe anyone would say to deny people the right to decide on their future as people are allowed to change their minds on independence as it was clear in 2014 the No camp said vote no and the EU will be safe in the UK its now no longer safe in the UK so people should be allowed to change their minds and decide and not for the UK government to dictator to another country that rejects the Tories Then you have to take in the N.Ireland problem with borders and the good Friday agreement and if there is no border then people can travel to the Rep.of Ireland go through the N.Ireland and jump on a ferry and guess what they will be in the UK some want to control borders eh alot of problems and no i do not feel sorry one bit for the Tories they cause this problem now they can lay in the bed they have made i do feel sorry for the UK people that either want the union to stay together and for people wanting the break up the UK as the Tories vanity project to keep UKIP out has fucked the Tories big time If the UK is to stay together then hopefully the English people can see their is more than Labour , Tory and UKIP out there to go and vote for Their history is nothing to be proud of with either bankrupting the UK or taking money of people that are poor or unfit to work | |||

"This two years nonsense is not set in stone, an extension to the process is built into article 50. It is not a good idea to tie ourselves to a specific date rather than wait until the negotiations have actually been concluded. It may be sorted in the earliest possible time but knowing the EU, I doubt it very much. " You need to listen to Nicola she has said to what she has been told it will be 18months to 2 years and if it changes then they will look into that too but they can only go with what the PM and the EU have said correct ? | |||

How is an indy referendum anything to do with agreeing to a brexit deal?. You could agree to brexit but disagree with the deal put forward or disagree about brexit or think the deal is the best one on offer. Independence is a totally different question, thats why its called an indy ref not a brexit ref | |||

"I'm sorry but still don't get two things:- Why is it better being ruled by Europe than Westminster? How do we ever meet the criteria for EU membership? We wield no power in either jurisdiction but our voice will always be heard in Westminster. We have no financial criteria to base membership on and do you really want the Euro?" i dont understand why you asking "Why is it better being ruled by Europe than Westminster?".... Scotland has been ruled by London since 1707 and Scotland has never been ruled by EU nor the UK was: UK was part of the biggest economic trading bloc in the world but it was also independent. I hope you understand Scotland wants to become independent and as an independent country Scotland will have entire power to decide for instance how to invest their income from oil revenues (the same income is now distributed among the entire union could be distributed among Scots only) or becoming part of the economic bloc of your taste, for instance EU. In other words: Scotland wont be ruled by the EU after independency. If after independency you decide to join the EU, Scotland will remain independent too. The notion if UK being independent after brexit is one of the many lies used by westminster to misinform the public. | |||

Thats true and not true. The euro was the problem for Greece not the EU. Greece's history is littered with mismanagement, if that were the problem this would have happened decades ago, the reason it didnt is the reason their old currency was 450-1 on the pound and their new currency is 1.15-1 to the pound, look at those figures and tell me how that happened? Thats Greece's problems. Oh by the way, the average Greek work as longer hours as anybody else in Europe, that myth got debunked years ago | |||

And the fact that English mp's still will get to vote on Scottish matters like the Scotland bill is crazy then we have the unelected Lords telling Scotland what devolved powers we should and shouldnt get that is on no way an equal partnership No one is forced into using the Euro Sweden is the best example of that Sweden have been in the EU since the 90's and they are being forced into using the Euro Hell the NO camp in 2014 were trying the best to say an independent Scotland wouldnt be able to use the pound until they finally had to admit it that Scotland can use the pound as its not tied to any one country .

"Now that Holyrood has passed on having a new Scottish independence referendum and for a section 30 order to agreement. Now like i said it would be unwise for an unelected PM to block a independence referendum as Theresa May stands on NO manifesto of her own and has no mandate. Hell Nicola has even said she will have talks with Theresa May on when an independence referendum should take places as Nicola is willing to talk and show compromise if this suppose to be an equal partnership its high time the UK government prove it or Scotland will say goodbye to the union. Now for anyone that says SNP does not speak for Scotland then ask yourself who do you think then does speak for Scotland ? What is so wrong about letting the people of Scotland make a decide on if we agree to the final brexit deal or if we would rather an independent Scotland within the EU as Scotland did vote to remain in the EU. Also i do keep hearing that is was a UK vote yes that is correct but in 2014 the NO camp said to vote no and the EU will be safe in the UK and now its now safe in the EU as promised. People are allowed to change their minds that is their right and no one should deny anyone that right. Each one of the pro union MSP's have kept up with there shite about the Scottish government not listening to parliament on fracking the footballact etc what they do not tell you is on fracking there is a moratorium which means NO fracking here in Scotland and on the football act not one of the union parties have come forward with a bill on what they would do with it you cant seriously say vote against the football act and replace it with bugger all and allowing nasty songs to be sung in football grounds again. All i will say is the people of Scotland should be allowed to decide its own future instead of being told by the Tories what will happen. If you believe in the union thats good you will get to vote no again but you cant deny people a vote on those who have changed their minds that is a dictatorship and not one i want to live in " unelected ? no PM is elected by the public vote system . . TM took over after Cameron bolted. . Parties are elected not Ministers of any kind. Was NS voted into her job? | |||

Actually if you read your facts right greeces problems were mostly self inflicted ..short working hours and early retirement age along with government mismanagement of national finances add to that the finacial crisis across most of the world and you have the ultimate recipe for financial meltdown.... the Eu has done nothing but bail greece out since then ..without Eu bail outs on 2010 2012 and again in 2015 feck knows where greece would be now so i would say for all the Eu's failings there is good work there too "You can excuse the EU all you want but it does not change the fact that the EU knew Greece would not be able to cope with the Euro before they let them use it. | |||

As soon as she does she will be in breach of international law which we cannot be ruled without consent.
The first Scottish independence referendum wasnt just a "dirty tricks" campaign run from Westminster it was contrary to the very treaties UK is signatory to! The UK government should not have been involved in any way, shape or form!
The new independence referendum for Scotland should and will be for the Scottish people living in Scotland to decide not for Westminster to stick their noses in the Scottish matters. | |||

"But she is not blocking it just saying it is not the right time, but if the SNP want to go ahead then they are wellcome as long as they are paying for it "As known as blocking it. Theresa May is on record as saying it will be 18months to 2 years so the Scottish government are asking to hold one when the final deal on brexit is known and before all is agreed the Scottish people decide on if they agree on brexit or to vote for independence. Hell when asked when is the time she couldnt even answer that is was right back to the shite old lines of ''its not a question if there is one its if their should be one'' No one seems to have a problem with the EU referendum and who was paying for that. Put this way how dumb does it look when the UK government want independence for the UK and it was only a adviser EU referendum but still will go ahead with that yet they will try to block/ deny a government's mandate for a legal Scottish referendum Well the minute she does it breaches International Law wouldnt like to be in her shoes when she loses yet another court case all because the Tories do NOT listen and think they know whats best for countries that dont vote Tory | |||

"so the spanish foreign minster says they won't oppose an independent scotland's membership of the EU ... that undermines the position of mrs maygabe and her flying monkeys just a tad ... good luck with project fear mk II pmsl "No one has said that the Spanish would veto an application from an independent Scotland. What Spain have said, and even just last week, that at the moment it's a hypothetical question. They have also said that if Scotland does go independent, then Scotland will have to join the due process to join the EU. That means applying, meeting ALL of the criteria, and using the Euro. Trolling at its best again! | |||

All thanks to the SNP as Scottish Labour underspend when they were in office 1999-2007 they sent their 1billion underspend money back to Westminster Take Trident for example a majority in Scotland do not want the nuclear weapons yet all because Scotland is in the UK we have to have them in Scotland crazy eh ? Now £200 Billion+ on nuclear weapons that Scotland majority do not want how many is Scotland paying towards these nuclear weapons ? £15 billion deficit Pro union supporters like to keep saying Scotland has how much of that £15 billon gets wiped out the minute Scotland waves goodbye to the nuclear weapons that Scotland does not want?. You actually pay hardly anything towards nuclear weapons but receive an awful lot back in terms of spend because nearly all the nuclear weapons are run though Scotland" How much does Scotland pay for the nuclear weapons ? If Scotland hardly pays anything towards Trident then it shows you the UK is not so united and is not an equal partnership. | |||

"Great to see Green amendment for 16/17 year olds as well as EU citizens living here being given a vote pass with the motion." Let's face it,all its gonna take to ensure the 16/17 year olds vote, Is a braveheart dvd, And a bottle of fizzy juice. . Giving EU citizens the vote, Isn't really a surprise. With the SNPs desire to retain EU membership, And them being EU citizens. With the clue being in the name, It's hardly gonna take sherlock homes, To work out which way that votes going. . Let's just hope,this time, they can accept defeat,and move on. If not,next time,I can see them giving sheep a vote, with no money of their own, and having already bummed every Tom dick and Harry, susceptible to a sob story, and a wee bit of shortbread. In their desperation,They'll have to resort to bumming a pay day lender, Charging 10,000% interest a day. Just to pay the interest, they'll have to realine the retirement age,to 105, 107 if you've got red hair. Then they'll spend the lot, and the next three years, Teaching the sheep,which box to put their cross. With the option,of mutton sandwiches all round. | |||

Look you have 5 million people out of 70 million people, you pay less because your less % of the population, but you gain massively from that spend because they're all based in Scotland, so you get like 90% of the jobs and spend but only pay a small cost towards it because your a small population.

"Oh poor Nicola and her cult following are clutching at the disappearing straws of there Independence dream. Only yesterday she ruled out calling an election.....I wonder why ? Maybe she knows her own coat is on a loose peg.. The fanatics have pushed her into this position....No referendum till at least after the next Holyrood election. If her share of the vote drops ...She has lost her referendum chance for another decade....She will be out as her time frame as leader will have passed.....Can i suggest an able new leader in Angela Constance "Right i can see you have a big problem with the SNP so who is it you would rather be in government in Scotland and who would you rather be FM in Scotland Ruth ? Kezia ? Willie ? Has everyone seen the Scottish Tory leaflets for the council elections in less than a month ? No policy other than stopping a referendum. No referendum until after 2021 ? Is that what pro union supporters are really hoping for ? So dont believe in democracy as the SNP were elected on their 2015 and 2016 manifesto's I mean take for example if Labour , Tory or Lib Dem had won the Scottish elections in 2016 would people be honestly saying they should wait till after the 2021 Scottish elections to deliver on their 2016 manifesto's ? | |||

Re read this very long post, its very long because your just being obtuse. Scotland is what about 6% of the UK population therefore in reality your paying "very little" towards something thats very expensive and yet your receiving the "lions share" of returns on that spend because its nearly all based in Scotland!! Now thats not that hard a concept to grasp is it? | |||
