    Won't matter in the slightest. The Greens are fully up for the break too. EU saying Scotland's application for membership will be fast tracked. I have no doubt that this will be announced on the eve of Indyref2. Will get our friends and partners north of the border over the line.

    Whatever it is, I reckon it'll ignore Article 49 Treaty on European Union (TEU) accession process and the Barosso Doctrine. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    No change, so even if they can blag another once in a lifetime vote, the outcome is still liable to be the same '**** off'.


    The BBC predicts that the SNP will win the election with 63 seats.

    That's two seats shy of the 65 needed for a majority in Holyrood.

    It also predicts:

    • The Conservatives will get 31 seats
    • Labour will get 22 seats
    • The Greens will get nine seats
    • The Lib Dems will get four seats
    This results in the following changes in the number of seats from 2016:

    • SNP - no change
    • Conservative - no change
    • Labour -2
    • Green +3
    • Liberal Democrat -1

    In her victory speech, Ms Krankee outlines her party's "ambitious and transformative programme to kick-start and drive recovery". It includes:

    • The remobilisation of our NHS
    • A new National Care Service
    • Investment to support new, green jobs
    • Reskill people for the "jobs of the future"
    • A "youth guarantee"
    • Action to tackle the climate emergency and ensure a "just transition"
    • More houses, better schools and an unwavering commitment to lifting children out of poverty

    Now who will pay for it?

    In England for the last few elections we had a one-trick-pony party that stood with only one policy, won no seats in Parliament and became irrelevant after the one policy disappeared on 1st January 2021. In Scotland, their one-trick-pony party still exists, has won seats in the Scottish Parliament and controlled government. In that time in government, it has demonstrated incompetence in provision of education and health services despite having tax raising powers, yet people keep voting for the one policy and ignoring the incompetence.

    SNP politicians keep claiming that they have a mandate for a new Referendum although the proportional representation voting system does not actually illustrate any such notion as fact. In reality their case is based upon inconsistent polling.

    Wee Jimmy McKrankie is desperate for another “once in a generation” Independence Referendum before too many of the anti-English party supporters die of alcoholism and drugs overdoses or the Scots wake up and realise that Independence Utopia is a fantasy.

    Boris should be smart and let her have another Referendum but with strict conditions attached. He should put a Bill before Parliament giving Scotland another vote but the first clause of the Bill should stipulate that this cannot be repeated before 2070.

    It should be made clear that voting for Independence will automatically transfer a certain percentage of the United Kingdom debt to Scotland and that Scotland will have to establish its own currency as it will not be able to use or issue the United Kingdom pound sterling.

    The Bill should also force the Office for National Statistics Scotland to publicise the demographic timebomb that Scotland faces. The United Kingdom as a whole has this issue but it is worst in Scotland. Wee Jimmy wants to rejoin the EU because she needs to dilute the clans with Eastern European immigrants to look after the burgeoning elderly.

    Most of the rest of the United Kingdom is fed up of the whinging Jocks and they are outnumbered ten to one by the English that approximately half of them so despise. If they want to rush off and try to rejoin the failing E.S.S.R. they may find that it is not too keen on having another minnow bordering a “third country”, but I am sure the Germans can be persuaded to tell them how to fiddle the books so they can join the Euro as they did with Greece. Some sensible Jocks will head south of Hadrian’s Wall to get away from the ‘progressive’ tax rates that the SNP will introduce; and the Royal Navy will have to get used to operating exclusively from ports in England.

    Pro independence parties will be in the majority. The electoral system in Scotland is set up to make a one party majority virtually impossible. The fact the SNP have had a majority government in the past and will be just 2 seats short of one whilst increasing their share of the vote in this election is quite remarkable.

    Boris won't tell her to fùck off because it's not her or the SNP who want indyref2, it's the will of the people.

    Otherwise we will just disband this voluntary "union of equals"
