I know you're a bit of lefty but can you imagine a country where the Labour left is the middle ground? That is Scotland.
Only on PH can I be considered as a lefty. At one firm I used to work at I was considered right wing, and I've moved right since then. I've voted tory more often than I have for any party (I think) but despite that because I have voted labour I'm considered a Trotsky.I know you're a bit of lefty but can you imagine a country where the Labour left is the middle ground? That is Scotland.
I'm a classic floating voter. I vote for whoever I think will do a good job. I have difficulty understand anyone who votes for a party because they are that party.
So that makes me a lefty I suppose.

How do you make more people entrepreneurial? Is it better education - I'd say no its much more pure talent or ability or pure luck.
Thought it's more down to mindset. Dunno if you can teach mindset to someone. Some people are born to do 9-to-5 (nothing wrong with it, of course).Welshbeef said:

The wizard of Oz (wizard of Glasgow perhaps) has more grounding in reality than the SNP economic plans.
The Salmond coined phrase "Arc of prosperity", which happens to include the ROI and Iceland, Yup, he has got that about right.

Perhaps tomorrow will be like that scene in the Simpsons where itchy and scratchy is made non violent - so the kids all turn their TVs off - go outside - rub their eyes and see the world for the first time in all it's glory - all the time Beethoven's "Symphony 6 in f major" is playing in the background

Who knew it was English oppression that was standing in the way of Scottish neds being great inventors, philosophers, poets etc. Perhaps it's something the evil overlords are putting in the buckfast.

It will have to be....
24 months tops till the recession hits with the kind of force that will leave remittances as a major contributor to GDP.
The only thing that could prevent that would be EU membership but I don't see that happening with the rumblings from Spain and Belgium.
Whether the doomsday economic forecasts come to fruition is another question, but I see a very precarious walk on the edge of an abyss...
