    I have yet to see either of them do anything different than the past leaders.



    That is one reason to go for independnece so we have a parliament with actual powers, not one with the name but nothing behind it.
    Ah, you're back in :D
    Try listening to First Minister's Questions on Radio Scotland and I'm sure you'll see (or rather hear) the difference. You won't though from Mr Salmond who true to form, like yourself, would find it difficult to win a pub quiz, where definitive answers are required.

    Dont listen to radio scotland, however watch the Scottish Parliament on BBC Parliament sometimes.

    They are all the same including Salmond say whetever they can to make the other look stupid. Still at least its not as bad as Westminister where they all act like children shouting at each other.

    Where have i not given definitive answers? i only refer to the Prospectus for Independence when i dont know the answer.

    they need to do another clearance of scotland,but this time america,canada,australia /nz don't want them.so i think they should be sent to nigeria/somalia/angola/zimbabwe etc and it gives england more room to keep things in (sheep etc).:money:

    wtfffffff?

    Alex Salmond is a William Wallace wannabe, and nothing more IMO. I haven't seen him do anything good for this country...yet. Independence is an outrageous idea, though I believe that the Scottish Parliament should have more powers. I am unsure how the whole "join the Euro" thing will go down, if it does happen. I've been watching the First Minister questions on BBC for the past couple of weeks and it seems like he has NO definitive answers to any of the questions put forward to him by other parties.

    I guess he has 2 years to figure it all out before the referendum which he wants so badly. I wonder though if the Scottish people really want this break from the UK or whether it's just 1 egotistical bigot screaming "Freedom."

    P.S. Dwight is a racist twit?

    Saved A+E departments Labour were going to close
    Got rid of tolls
    Got rid of prescription charges
    Council tax freeze

    just to name a few.
