Ally Bongo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Im wary as are others GAPonsonby @GAPonsonby 4h4 hours ago Macpherson is not 'making the case for indy'. He's presenting a mischievous right-wing version of an indy Scotland. Not the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Regardless of McPherson's comments, the bottom line is that Sturgeon and the Yes campaign are going to have a make a much stronger economic case next time round, and unfortunately I doubt that enough people will be persuaded to vote Yes by another dossier containing some vague psedo-Socialist ideals that can be easily ripped apart by the No campaign. McPherson is correct in saying that this a 'golden opportunity'. But some hard economics are going to have to be introduced that may be unpalatable to ultra left-wingers. Scotland can still be a socially democratic independent country, with business friendly economics, Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
