Top rate income tax is 62% in Denmark and Finland. No thanks.
and then you get on to the alcohol taxing, and (in sweden) can only buy beverages over 3.5% in the state owned shops with short opening hours.

Socialists do not care about the cost of things because they believe there is an endless stream of other peoples' money and that they are simply 're-distributing' it.

When Mhairi Black says things like 'those responsible for poverty should be afraid' this is what she is talking about - she means that anyone the SNP considers as too wealthy will have their wealth taken from them.

So, the 'principled' wee hypocrite should lead by example - after all, she is earning three-and-a-half times the average salary of Scotland.
In this rush to redistribute the country's wealth, they seem to have forgotten that in order to redistribute, there needs to be some wealth creators left.
Who on earth would stay in Scotland and create employment for others if their success were to be rewarded by having their assets taken from them?

Mental.
A lot of people I know in Scotland already had one eye on the border in case the Yes vote had happened.

LBG had already moved their TSB assets off Scottish paper and had re-incorporated them in London.

A whole series of high profile financial institutions had already announced their contingency plans in case of the vote.

This is one of the main problems of leftie socialist thinking, it pre supposes that everyone is equal (although even in their twisted view of the world `some' are `more equal' than others) when the plain fact of the matter is that we are NOT all equal. Some are stronger, weaker, more intelligent, less intelligent, healthier / less healthy, quicker / slower, greedier, more caring, less caring luckier, unluckier etc than the next. This is the way the world is for ALL species, including humans.
If a way could be found to give every human on the planet an exactly equal share of its resources, give it a few years, and those `equal' shares would have started to be `re distributed'
There would be some who acquired far more than their equal share, a larger group with more or less what they started with, and the largest group with little or nothing left of their `equal' share, all down to a trait known as `human nature'
Lefties try to make out they are all caring and sharing, but in reality they are not, they only want to `care and share' with someone else's hard earned. You don't see benefits claimants making huge donations to the poor of other countries, many of whom would in fact regard the lot of UK benefits claimants as being rich and looked after (by the state) beyond their dreams. The old `I am rich and look down on the middle classes - I am middle class, and I look down on the lower class sketch holds true for just about every nation / society one could care to mention. This is why the socialist will never win because their idea of the world chooses to ignore the nature of creatures, that think including humans and tries to put in its place an artificial construct, which is alien to the way `thinking' creatures tend to operate as a whole.

Is it an achievement though or is it just because some of the electorate are stupid?
I suspect it depends on your politics doesn't it. Some people would say that 36.9% of the electorate were stupid, some 30.4%. Others 3.8% and so on.

Fact of the matter is that she is an MP at 20; which is impressive regardless of who it is for.
Absolutely - but there is also the thought that this is an enormous burden to place on someone of that age.

Her choice though, she is an adult. But when I recall the amount of fun I had between the age of 20 and 25, vs. the grinding workload expected of an MP, and the public scrutiny that this girl will be under, I don't envy her.
Talking of public scrutiny, several here have praised her for getting of her bot, taking an active interest in politics and for working hard enough to get elected. That's all time and fair. But, given her attitude and expressed views - some rather unpleasant - I wonder what flak UKIP would have fielded had she been one of their candidates?

As soon as one of their candidates, councillors et al get exposed for dodgy sayings and views they and, especially, the party get slated. Hew well does she reflect on the SNP or top level politics in general? We have all sorts in Parliament, some less than good and worthy, but party politics aside I can't help feeling that she is not the sort of person who should be representing the populace in high office.

The key point is that socialists only want `to do good works' with other peoples money, never their own.
Ask a socialist to put THEIR money where their mouth is, and sell their house, car, wife / kids, empty their bank accounts, etc, and then give the resultant cash sum, to those who have less than they do, and they disappear like smoke in a wind tunnel.
Some Public sector workers get redundancy pay outs of over six hundred thousand pounds of tax payers money. I wonder how keen they would be to give it all away, to the vulnerable poor and disabled, that lefties bleat on about. If they really cared about them like they `say' they do, they surely would give it all away, Only they don't do they!?
Perhaps Ms Black should only accept what an average 20 year old would be paid, and give the rest of her income to the government to be spent on `good works' as the government sees fit.

Naturally.

Thatcher summed it up well enough; eventually socialists run out of other peoples' money.

Lucking and scamming her way to an MP's salary you mean. A dysfunctional candidate who rode the crest of a wave of her dysfunctional party's popularity, elected by a dysfunctional element of society who would otherwise never engage in politics who were fooled into backing her based on deception and lies.

Karma will come to bear.

I had a bout of verbal fisticuffs with a leftie some years ago, on the subject of illegal immigration. He was stating that they should not be stopped from coming into the UK, and that they should have full access to all areas of the benefits system, as soon as they got here.
I suggested that if `HE' was so keen for the UK to be flooded with illegal immigrants, he and all those of the same view, should supply their names and addresses to the government. Then batches of
30 illegal immigrants could be sent to each of these addresses, where they would be given accommodation, food, clothes, spending money, entertainment, transport, and access to NHS hospitals all at the householders expense.
The look on his face told me he didn't much like that idea, so he started bleating on about the `rich' and how they should be soaked to pay for those who were not `rich'. I pointed out to him, that he had a (much) bigger and more expensive house than me, also his car was bigger and much more expensive than mine, and therefore on that basis, he should give me large sums of his cash simply because he had it, and I wanted it, because I was not as rich as him. Needless to say he didn't much like that idea either! The positive result however was that he and I, never ever talked to each other again smile

The SNP have got countless policies which they deserve to be challenged and criticised for. Yet certain sections of the press (and some on here) seem to be more interested in criticising SNP MPs on the basis of what they look like, how they sound, where they sit and what they eat. Seems a bit childish and counterproductive.

The new SNP MPs who nicked Dennis Skinner's seat were taking a risk though....I can imagine them arriving at the House of Parliament medical room shortly afterwards, covered in cuts, bruises and bite marks, crying uncontrollably.
Did anyone read how their attempt failed?

A series of SNP MPs blocked the seat on a rolling basis, so the House of Commons police decided to do a "routine" security sweep, made them move and some Labour guy nipped in.

Sells more papers than reasoned debate. Same reason the Sun put its weight behind the Tories AND SNP either side of the border. Our press is pretty much partisan clickbait these days.
