Lamia Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 They are scared now, the bile will become absolutely vicious over the next 2 weeks I would suggest it has been vicious for some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 A Yes voter does not an SNP voter make. Some of us are still capable of thinking for ourselves I thought there were quite a few things in the manifesto you would like. I liked the section on the power of the Unions and the focus of stopping cuts in disability benefits included focus on careers. I quite liked the idea of disregarding war disabilities pensions too. There were a lot of good things in it in my view. It needed to be stronger on TTIP though - from the reaction at the conference that is what the members want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I would suggest it has been vicious for some time now. The current level of viciousness has been the new normal for about the last year, from the point that Yes started to close the gap. Thing is, Scotland, or at least the non-Unionist portion just give a big collective, "Aye, heard it". I liked the section on the power of the Unions and the focus of stopping cuts in disability benefits included focus on careers. It will be interesting to see how Nicola goes down today at the STUC conference compared to Miliband's somewhat muted reception yesterday.

Just think of those silly tory cartoons... Well played and keep it up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menschlich Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 "If an in/out EU referendum does go ahead, we will seek to amend the legislation to ensure that no constituent part of the UK can be taken out of the EU against its will. We will propose a 'double majority' rule - meaning that unless England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each vote to leave the EU, the UK would remain a member state." "We believe that women should be properly represented in public life. We will push for 50:50 representation on public and private boards, and ensure that women are fairly treated at work with action to secure equal pay and greater support for working parents with increased paternity leave." SNP - the party of statism and government control over every aspect of private life This isn't taking into account their love of minimum alcohol pricing and various other Public Health crusades.

phart Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Not sure what the in/out thing has to do with statism, however as someone who wants as little government as possible and locally as possible i'm no fan of these centralisation policies. EDIT: posting from my grans so can't quote folk for reasons i'm not even bothering to investigate. Edited April 21, 2015 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menschlich Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Interesting and thought-provoking contribution. Cheers mate. Not sure what the in/out thing has to do with statism, however as someone who wants as little government as possible and locally as possible i'm no fan of these centralisation policies. EDIT: posting from my grans so can't quote folk for reasons i'm not even bothering to investigate. It's more that it would just be absurd if that actually happened. So if 70% of Britain voted to leave but 51% of Wales voted to stay then we should be made to stay?

Menschlich Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 No, Wales should be made / allowed to stay! Well that isn't the SNP's policy. What if 85% of Wales wants to stay in the United Kingdom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
