Independence isn't all about oil or money, it's mainly about self determination, and going a way that is suitable to our country and out people.<br /><br />We are a very different people from the English. We have different values. I'm not saying that we are better than them, just different. It is good that much of our domestic policy is decided in Edinburgh, by Scots. It would be so much better if everything were decided here.<br /><br />The oil wealth is the icing on the yummy cake, and I'd be perfectly happy without it.<br /><br />Simple really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-81245003056063296772009-10-07T19:14:51.167+01:002009-10-07T19:14:51.167+01:00I'm sure a lot of what we hear from the Tories...I'm sure a lot of what we hear from the Tories between now and June won't frighten the horses, the problem being that those horses all live in the East Midlands! I fail to see how the Tories can speak to the Scots while still winning the votes they really want, those of the Middle-English working-middle classes.<br /><br />As you say Tris the old the sick and the poor are not popular targets in Scotland. I don't think they're popular targets doon South, but certainly more palatable. Let's not forget that the Tories beat Labour in England at the last election. England is a Tory country, it always has been.<br /><br />I have never wanted Scottish Independence because it would make us better off, nor cos we would be better represented on a global stage (tho both are true) I just think we are different nations, always have been, and always will.<br /><br />England and Scotland lay on different continents until about 500 million years ago.

Of...We shall see in May next year I suspect Sophia. Of course we probably will have a Tory government imposed upon us, but I don't know how long that will last.<br /><br />Interestingly, once the Tories are in power in England, the Labour opposition in our own parliament may become more likely to support SNP policies to thwart them. It can only be a linmited amount of time before the Labour group see what an advantage it would be to them personally to have an independent Scotland.<br /><br />Maybe we need to start spelling that out to them in words of one letter.... Maybe then that little chubby man who seems to be in charge of them will catch on...
