m going to have a wee nibble here,
the pandemic has really exploited the tories,
labour party is finished without Scottish votes
what other options do we have?

im now leaning very strongly to independence where once granted the snp will no longer exist due to having gained their aim,they would have to run the country until the political scene was reformed here,possibly for a year at the max,one thing for sure is that the main parties in an independent Scotland would be very interesting indeed,dont think there would be any appetite for a tory party nor a hugely out of touch labour party,try asking a question via email to Labour, i did and despite 6 messages/4 phone calls to Glasgow not a single follow up.They lost my vote after that.

Can NS be called out for taking an advantage against her political opponents here in Scotland?absolutely not!
She has came across waist/head and shoulders above any other political leader during the virus.PS im not snp but would now vote for independence as long as there was a guarantee they would hand over power after the first election.

How is an independent Scotland going to raise the £32.5 Billion they are currently receiving annually from Westminster under the rules of the Barnett Formula plus the extra £1.2 Billion they have received from Westminster to deal with the extra costs of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic It will not come from the Scottish Government ‘magic money tree’.

How would we pay pensions?

In my opinion an independent Scotland is just a dream but in reality it is a non starter.
All the financial companies in Edinburgh including the RBS who are now called the Nat West Group will move their offices to England resulting in all the wealth draining out of an independent Scotland.
The vast majority of whisky companies are foreign owned or have their head office in England so their will be little taxation from whisky when it comes out of the bonded warehouses.

Tories collapse, a new centre right party forms, all good.

[Returnofrros]

And what about the Nike cover up.

[Returnofrros]

They are a one party state, they would hand over nothing and being male in an independent north Britain would be a horrible irrevocable experience.
