Discussion

We are faced with a decision where the majority of Scots would rather it stays as it is than went to independence. So leaving it as it is seems like first choice.
Still no comment from any Pro Yes about this extra EU tax - will they increase income tax to pay for it or cut NHSWelshbeef said:

So unless the SNP raise taxes they would have to remove free Uni fees - its the same ball park figurePs, if you earn more, don't you generally pay more in tax?
Or reduce spend on NHS
Or remove winter fuel allowance
Actually SNP wants to reverse the spare bedroom allowance reduction (bedroom tax) so what else will they cut or raise taxes to pay for these additional items?
Hmmm interesting

Good to see you've forgotten about 'The Barnett Formula' already burger.
It cannot survive in UK politics after what was said during the neverendum, no matter what was muttered during the 'vow'.
Course it can. It cannot survive in UK politics after what was said during the neverendum, no matter what was muttered during the 'vow'.
8% of the UK population and 30% of the UK's land mass.
Do the maths.

Be'jaizus, you really are looking to kick our government when they have been the most decent one we have had so far! I, like yourself, am not in government to make said decisions so all you armchair economists just chew the fat and We'l see what happens...

Scotland cannot have its cake and eat it. Either it wants the benefits of financial support and the controls and conditions that come with it or it doesn't.

Which will only work if all the taxes raised and financial decisions taken are administered at a NATIONAL level.

Which flies in the face of the views of many commentators. Scotland cannot have its cake and eat it. Either it wants the benefits of financial support and the controls and conditions that come with it or it doesn't.
Tell me: why should some taxes be devolved and others managed centrally?
When I'm on my laptop I'll post an interesting analysis of the different views of each party. Difficult to see how they'll reach consensus.

30% of land mass is not a justification for free university spending.
It just suggests the SG are spending the extra money allocated on luxuries, not on essentials.
Enough!
Bye bye TBF. Rest in peace.

I, and others, have repeatedly explained the "free university" thing. 30% of land mass is not a justification for free university spending.

You either don't understand it or don't want to understand it.
Can't help you in that case.
