It would be going a whole lot better if we had an extra £1000 per person to spend.

Bringing together hospital care and the wider social care is a good idea.

Manchester city council still have a stake in our regional airport, which has been a big success story. They even have planes flying to small fry destinations (...like Glasgow...)

Conference votes to extend voting rights to everyone resident for 5 years, regardless of where they're from

Why does that not come as surprise.

This bunch of charlatans will do anything to win. They have been indoctrinating the school children for years but that wasn't enough, now every man and his dog to get a vote.

Can very easily be overturned.

As has been said many times - constitutional affairs are not under their remit, they can vote on them at party conferences all they like it won't happen unless Westminster want it to.

My ribs hurt!
From laughing at the increasing nonsense from pro-SNP posters in here, ranging from simply ignorant and/or distraction to frankly ridiculous and ignoring the law completely.

It has been very firmly established beyond doubt that any independence referendum clearly is a constitutional matter and thus the power to allow such a referendum lies in Westminster.

The squirming of the SNP and their acolytes very clearly displays the level of desperation for independence at any cost ignoring what effects this will have upon Scots themselves.

You pro-SNP acolytes are doing a better job of showing Scots just how delusional independence or a referendum is at this stage than any media coverage.
So please, carry on showing your "true colours".
Because you are reinforcing what so many Scots already know.
That the SNP lie.
Frequently.

Don't be giving them ideas !! You're being careless.

Also....excluding dead people from voting. Isn't that discriminatory on some age grounds? :rotfl:

Voter eligibility based on residency makes sense in cases like this.

Should have been applied in the EU referendum also, but hey ho...

I don't agree with the way the SNP run referenda. Giving all and sundry a vote who live within Scotland, but not allowing Scots who live abroad a vote.

I much prefer the EU ref version of all citizens regardless of location, and non-citizens not allowed to vote if I had to choose between the two versions.

Ideally a combination of the two, but we know the SNP won't let that happen in case Scots in the rUK vote to keep the union

http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/63345/1/democraticaudit.com-Scots%20living%20overseas%20or%20elsewhere%20in%20the%20UK%20should%20have%20been%20given%20the%20right%20to%20vote%20in%20the%20independ.pdf

15% of the resident population in Scotland is the number of Scots living in the rest of the UK. No wonder they denied them the vote.

Including Scots overseas that's 906,000 Scottish people who were not allowed to vote in the last independence referendum.

On this topic it makes me angry to see Scots on the #ScotRef timeline complaining that they think TM is delaying so EU nationals don't get the vote, what is that number about 180,000? Seems the bigger injustice is against those who might want to vote for the union, god almost everything about the SNP makes me sick. The myopic zealots on twitter complaining about gerrymandering by TM over a delayed referendum, which is tenuous at best, whilst being completely oblivious to the quite blatant and obvious gerrymandering (just over 5 times as much!) by the SNP.
