..well that's going to happen in stardate 7315.

I'd be happy to get a SOGA devolution revote as the Scottish parliament is 'not fit for purpose'.

It's a totally cynical ploy, believe me! I wouldn't be surprised if the pretendy PM in a pretendy parliament 'arrranged' the vote for 24/6/2014....exactly bang on 700 years from Bannockburn.

You're right. Salmond and co would resort to anything to attain their goal. Surely those who were taken in by his rhetoric at the last election and gave him unbridled power at Holyrood will see that they have been used simply as pawns to further Salmond's and the SNP's aspirations. Labour, at last, seem to have a credible leader in Johann Lamont and from what I have heard of her she seems well able to stand up to him (as does Ruth Davidson) and I've no doubt that former Labour voters at least will return to their roots when it comes to the crunch. It's a sad day though when the leader of the Scottish Parliament, which is really only a step up from the old regional councils, can try to dictate to the UK Government and manipulate the forthcoming referendum in such a cynical and obvious way.

Remenber to bring your wellies when you come up to check on your flock. I've heard they're essential to control the sheep.

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.

Your assertion that some people require to be educated on independence is rather patronising and smacks of the brainwashing of dissidents by the old communist regimes - will they be exiled to St Kilda if they have the temerity to vote No after their 'education'?

Really, can you tell me what will happen after indepednece? I want independence but even i need information that is not currently in the main.

Its not patronisong, people need informed

I have still to see any substance in your lengthy posts that will convince anyone to switch votes - and, before you say it again, yes I know that the prospectus is due out soon. I really can't wait to see this publication and wonder what new revelations will be in it that hasn't been spouted by Salmond et al in the past. Not a lot, if anything, I suspect.

It is up to the individual, if you would rather vote to keep dependancy then vote no, if you want to run your own affairs and be a wealthier nation then vote yes.
