    Of course I expect reaction. I like yours usually :).. you've just gotten a little too ranty about the SNP lately, and personal in your 'Shakey won't listen' type replies to others as if I'm not around to read them. You never answer any of my questions either which is a shame. ( You never expanded on how the SNP would be 'safely ignored' in a hung parliament if they held the balance of power for example ).

    There are more than a few round here ready to dismiss me as a mad cybernat and go a bit mental just on seeing my username near a Scottish thread. I didn't think you'd be one of them that's all. I was a little disappointed to be honest.

    But this thread is probably more or less at the end of it's 'natural' life now. I look forward to seeing you around elsewhere on other threads discussing the election( s) if so.

    Well I did warn about membership of the SNP; membership of any party does call into question whether opinions expressed are genuinely held or simply forwarded.


    The subject of, generally, "Progress on the outcome of the Scottish Referendum" could indeed warrant a new thread, with plenty to discuss as events unfold.

    With respect to this thread, I have mentioned here already the potential downside of the political uncertainty in Scotland on Scottish Industry where there are as yet unsubstantiated rumblings about businesses fleeing south. That is due , in my view, to the refusal of some to accept the result of the referendum.

    That could be discussed here or in a new thread - either would be good.

    On the matter of the SNP holding a "balance of power" after the general election, responses have been given. However that is very hypothetical. UKIP has a better chance and it would be political suicide for any of the mainstream parties in England to ally themselves with a party which is plotting to destroy Great Britain.

    It's the only way to fly straight.

    I think you'll find I was categorised as a mad SNP loving cultist cybernat and follower.. for about three years of posts here before I actually joined the SNP :) And for a good 2 years before I had even decided to vote Yes at that ( when the SNP first won the election and Devo-Max/Independence ref was first floated ).

    As for another thread. Good idea. but well, one things for sure. I daren't actually start one myself lol. :o
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    OK

    I have started a thread in the Discussion Time Board entitled

    Does new Scottish Devolution arrangement reflect the decision of the Referendum?


    It's difficult to devise an opening post on this subject which does not opinionate, - I don't think I've entirely succeeded, but it's done.

    Aww good try. But I think if you'd went for the title 'Fatty Salmond and Fishface Sturgeon want to screw the English for more subsidies and still vote on English laws'.. ? Par for the course. Decent respectful debate isn't done so much on forums like these so much. And RT is probably right DT is a bit more 'kneejerk' than this bit. :-( ( ie You've been far too nice with the title ;) )

    After the comments maybe I should withdraw the thread . . . . I'll think on it.
    edit: thought about it and deleted thread, which will now probably go on for ever!


    maybe something like

    Scottish House prices due to collapse due to English plotting


    It's all due to DevoMin.

    . . . or are they and is it?



    That would be more in line with my regular forum, thedndsanctuary.eu/

    I prefer 'Fatty Salmond and Fishface Sturgeon want to screw the English for more subsidies and still vote on English laws' tbh.

    I withdraw from starting a new thread at this time, perhaps someone else would like to start out where and how they like.

    If the excitement grows, maybe then I'll start one, if needed.

    Thanks. I based it entirely on your posts...
