A 4th SNP office sent a suspicious package ... but it's the yes voters that are trouble

And nothing in MSM either ... and yet a guy near downing street holding a knife is all over the news ... strange that

Planning to walk out in a contrived huff do you think ?

People disagree. What's new?

Does Nicola walk round with a halo above her head. One suspects not.

Still, not long until we get an indication of how many seats the SNP will lose.

Hmmmmm, not sure what you thought of the voting yesterday.
The council elections may not be the indication you are looking for.

I popped along and found that there were 5 candidates for the 4 council seats.
So 80% of the candidates standing will be elected.
At least 3 different parties will represent the council district.
Not really a lot of room to determine the direction of the General Election judging by that single council district.

Seems now Ruth Davidson wants to be the Queen of Scots

Oh dear.....................

You seem to have forgotten (so I will post it again) that Nicola was quite happy appearing on US TV last month with the strap line "The Queen of Scots".

Now that is pretentious!

You are becoming more and more delusional.

Shaka was apparently looking through ISTL's posts looking for something profound and witty to say.

Every single member of the EU is an independent country by virtue of having their own Govt and constitution. France, Spain, Germany and Malta included. So it's not a contradiction to say 'independent in the EU'. Every single country in it is.

Except that their desires can be overruled by the eu and the ecj.

And don't forget the quest for "ever closer unity". It wont be too long before every country is forced to unify currency, unify tax laws, unify defence, in fact unify everything. The ambition for the eu is to be one country with one border.

If they did not have such ambitions they would not need a flag, and two parliaments, and they would not now be insisting that the eu flag is on sporting clothes for those representing their own country.

......and if your independent nation gets in the financial do-do, the Bundestag gets to decide your public expenditure. Just ask the Greeks and Cypriots'.

Yes turnout is normally dire. And the STV system difficult to work out and produces all sorts of weird results. The main news everyone is watching for in Scotland is Labour in Glasgow. Big psychological blow if they lose control.. then the GE. Dugdale must surely be thinking about preparing her resignation speech for 9th June ?

That wasn't the point. No one would argue that France, Germany, Malta, Spain etc aren't independent countries by the very definition of the word. Should Scotland vote for independence, then 'independent in the EU' isn't a contradiction.
