Salmond and Sturgeon Want the English Fish for More Fat Subsidies

People sometimes vote for extremists. The Nazis and Communists have won elections in the past. Just because something is Democratic doesn't mean it's always good.

Just because the 2 largest parties have been so for a long time doesn't mean that is always good either. What's so scary about an outsider having a bit of clout if it actually benefits UK citizens?

People who don't live in Scotland probably know very little of the SNP. I think most view them as bad because the media portray them as such. A bad party garnering so much support......I can see how people think Scots must be a bit mad to support them. People are genuinely puzzled because they just don't know or live here to see that we (some of us) like some of their policies and feel they're doing quite a good job of governing.

How have they garnered all this support? Besides the referendum they are obviously doing something we seem to like. What is it about this you don't get or like?

Get over the party who want to break up the UK. That's not happening anytime soon.

Pot kettle black springs to mind here. 'Don't make assumptions about me , you don't know me'., as you have a habit of saying. My wife meanwhile had a good laugh at your suggestion. If you were male I'd have said get a grip man. But seems as how you're so easily offended ( when it suits I think ) I've now changed it to get a grip Mate. Hope that is acceptable to you.

Now I've hopefully cleared that up, I agree for the short term , it seems every possible combination is a win and full of possibility for SNP to play with up here just now. SNP have played a very clever tactical physchological campaign and many have fallen for it, hook line and sinker. It's now anti Westminster and Salmond must be delighted. But let's face it up until now, they've always got someone else to blame.

It's the long game which counts now. I hope the other parties will get a grip and start to use their heads. Because I can see the effect a 45/55 split on opinion has caused both here and the UK. And I don't think it's good for either .

You keep harping on about how many have fallen for the SNP hook line and sinker. Accept that many actually like their policies & feel they are quite competent at governing. You don't and obviously you feel you're right but if you are trying to box us in as brainwashed by snp I'd have to say you are brainwashed against them. Do you see what I'm saying?

Another way to look on it is that everyone else who is going to vote lab/con/lib or whatever have fallen for them too, can you see what I mean? Everyone who is going to vote does so based on who they think will do a good job.

Some scots like SNP and will support them. It's really that simple.

Let's lighten up a bit.

And some would say that you aren't able to read properly when I said 'That's the one option I'm not personally sure of at all !' . I'm sure the SNP will do just fine in Westminster.. after all, Alex Salmond is an old veteran there isn't he, and with Milliband in his pocket it seems ! ( Trademark :- Tory posters ).

But really bad outcomes for the SNP in this election ? I can't really see any ( based on current polling, things may change ). Strategically, they've played things very well. And if facts bother you on a discussion board, you're in the wrong place I'm afraid.

Ps Don't make assumptions that am out canvassing etc. You know nothing about me.

Why are you so offended about being considered a canvasser for the SNP? I think you should get out there to be honest and see what real people think when you tell them that, personally, you think a Tory majority is better than a lab/ SNP coalition.

The SNP aren't dreaming of a Tory majority, neither are SNP voters and, to be honest, even the internet thinks it's a strange idea.

You sure use a lot of personal pronouns for someone that isn't making something personal.

The SNP wants to break up the country, that's extreme.

No they don't, they want independence for their country which is Scotland, the other countries can do what they wish, if anything they want to make their country whole again, not break it up

The union of GB or UK they do want to break up but that isn't a county.

... which is very insulting to Brits which includes, because you clearly don't know, many Scots.

So much for "lightening up", good idea while it lasted.


Some people have got a thistle jammed so far up it's got into their brains.

In my view, using political manoeuvring to achieve their goals is a dodgy game for the SNP in this instance. This includes leveraging a marginal position in terms of seats to punch above their weight come the next GE. Scotland will

Why can't they be more positive? Scotland has some terrific resources. The SNP can promote positive economic policy and demonstrate the way to the rest of the UK by outperforming other regions.

But that would be far too sensible...

It's been a very long time since Scotland was a Sovereign body (ie a country).
