And explain to me how westminister is NOT a cosy old boys club?
Ever heard of Bernadette Delvin, arp? 21 when elected and female. About as far from the establishment as it is possible to get. And that was back in the 60s.
How about a Scottish MP? Pamela Nash (Airdrie and Shotts). 25 when elected. And that was in the last election.
Even the Tories are doing it. Chloe Smith, 27 when elected.

The uk government wanted scotland to stay but now they are worried that scotland will affect their decision making powers in their cosy old boys club in westminister... Can't have it both ways I'm afraid.
But, but, but you Nationalists say that Scottish votes don't count and you can't influence Westminster (despite Scottish MPs having a glorious tradition of doing just that - bringing in Thatcher - LOL - voting through tuition fees, etc.)You can't have it both ways, I' afraid.
of the Referendum (despite winning it)

Received a letter through the post the other day about the new Scottish powers. Its a very obvious attempt to repair the damage done by the miss information from the yes camp. Clearly states key points about NHS, education and laws etc. Hopefully this will clear up some points for the 45'ers.
Also has this been discussed yet?

Does the £1200 extra spend include all the UK infrastructure projects as/link or is that over and above?

Explain to me how using the pound and getting all your laws from brussels is independence
Bluff and buster! Haha sorry couldn't resist.Ironic that the overall goal for the EU is one head/army/law system etc. A mega state basically.
Not only would London be replaced by Brussels but the Scottish government itself would inevitably lose power and influence.
Going from 5 million out of 60 million to 5 million out of 500 million people. 10% representation to 1%...Makes sense to me.
Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-EU or a supporter of ukip. Its just another fundamental key "argument" from the yes campaign that falls flat on its arse.

If you'd be so kind as to answer the question my good sir?Ironic that the overall goal for the EU is one head/army/law system etc. A mega state basically.

Could you also remind the ladies and children present which campaign during the Referendum where forced to withdraw a series of cinema ad's by ASA because of lies?
Ironically a YES or NO answer will suffice
