Either that or you are expected to be signed up to it, I wouldn't think that EU will look kindly on the UK leaving but retaining other benefits of Europe, or even their citizens not being covered in the UK. Just don't think it will happen, just more bullshit from Cameron to appease backbenchers. <br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-28768530415685080592015-05-14T21:53:34.349+01:002015-05-14T21:53:34.349+01:00Yes, he came out of it badly...

He has neither the brains, talent, ability or a leg to stand on.<br />Given that, the Scottish electorate have returned 56 SNP Westminster MPs, and the Scottish government is the SNP. The settled will of the Scots, which is enshrined in Scots law; will not, cannot be swayed. <br />The articles of union, state clearly that no law can be forced on Scotland by Westminster, unless the Scots agree to it. This used to happen when Labour, and other unionists, sat on their hands to appease their party and not their electorate, nor nation.<br />Times have changed, Westminster; like "Scottish" Labour before it, has yet to wake up to the new reality that is, a Scotland wide awake and, ready to take them on, in the very heart of their "power and privilege".jimnarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231790902689695587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-90925711126424422022015-05-14T18:40:48.186+01:002015-05-14T18:40:48.186+01:00They seem to be under the illusion that a tint maj...They seem to be under the illusion that a tint majority is a landslide.

I'm not sure how much power the Welsh have in this area though if they can I suspect they will refuse too. I think the Tories have been taking imperial pills as they seem to be daring the devolved nations to put up or shut up. Over at the Guardian they are reporting several new Lords created so they can be ministers, one of them in the Scottish Office. And who have they picked? Only the guy responsible for the poll tax!!<br /><br />"(Andrew) Dunlop was Cameron’s special adviser on Scottish matters and worked for Margaret Thatcher’s policy unit when the poll tax was introduced in Scotland. The SNP has condemned his appointment."<br /><br />Angus Robertson "<br /><br /> This appointment is a scandal. If one thing demonstrates how out of touch the Tories are, it’s the appointment as a government minister for Scotland of an unelected Lord who played a leading role in the imposition of the hated poll tax on Scotland.<br /><br /> It is hard to believe that following the worst Tory result in a general Eelection in Scotland since universal suffrage that they could have fallen further in people’s estimation, but they just have with this appalling and anti-democratic appointment."<br /><br />panda pawsnoreply@blogger.com
