Or people laying it on the line what will happen.
Salmonds bluff and bluster anytime someone comes up with an argument is getting old, he's got no answers besides "You're bullying" "Its myth"0 -

I don't see the loss of jobs and a community dying as anything to laugh at, the SNP may be fine killing off Rosyth and the last yards on the Clyde, I'm sure those with their livelihoods on the line may think differently.0 -

Heck, it was Labour that steered the shipyards to the terminal decline - Rosyth couldn't even make it as ferry port. Salmond did his best with what he was given, but the damage had been done.
The Westminster system is broke - we gave it a fair shake and if got us nowhere. The new kid on the block so far has impressed and with integrity that many can appreciate.
More of the same-old just doesn't cut it. We have even less in common with Farage who is welcome to act as a comedy diversion for Cameron & Co., so I like the idea of our Parliament making decisions that affect us, not as some appendage to Cumbria.0 -

The SNP? Integrity? There's two words not seen in the same sentance very often.
Just how much of the white paper shopping list will Salmond have to negotiate away to get agreement on a currency union? What happens if his confidence that the EU will play ball doesn't come to fruition?
The old Westminster way isn't an option mainly because it hasn't been that way since the start of devolution.0 -
For me it is a big picture beyond present politicians, parties and ideologies. The question is simple:
Do we a small country want independence to make our own decisions and take responsibility for our own future?
If we vote yes then "we", each of us who voted yes, have a responsibility to ensure the success of our country.0 -

It would be nice if life, real life I mean, were so simple. It's not.
It is full of politics and ideologies, quite a lot of which go on beyond the borders of this country.0 -
