Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?
About devolution in general ... I don't think it's off topic, nor is it a bad idea. I realize the UK is small in area ... not much bigger than Wood Buffalo National Park:D ... but there are distinct regions. "North and South" is only the start. (Not a bad novel, by the way). The US of Eh operates well enough with a federal system ... as does Canada, with Quebec as a distinct society and Alberta as a spawning ground for rednecks. Think of it as taking powers from Westminster without giving up a unified foreign policy, military policy, and general economic and monetary policy (keeping the Bank of England, for eg.). Strong regional governments in, say, Manchester, York, and Knuzden could deal with regional issues. It would definitely work for Wales, Cornwall, Yorkshire, Lancashire etc.

Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?

Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?
all I can say though im glad I don't live in Scotland at this moment in time ... theres no mention of the yes and no camps fighting in falkirk on Saturday .. nor of the gentleman who was beat up because he had an England shirt on ... on any of the local websites up there ... come Friday all hell will be let loose ... if the yes wins - you voted against your country ... if the no wins ... well you would vote for England ... and no matter what theres just a chance that if its the wrong answer .. you may just get a bruising ...

Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?
it has all become very ugly...and there is precious little that anyone can do about it now.
Once the genie is out of the bottle it is a damn hard job to get it back in. there has been a lot of rabble rousing and methinks it will backfire horribly come Friday morning. |
Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?
more often than not though Margaret the wheelchair access you need a wheelchair and the assistance scheme .... don't think theyd accept a suitcase in a wheelchair ...:D
|
Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?
They would if you asked them to hump it up the steps for you.....seeing as you are a weak and feeble woman( fluttering eyelashes madly). :)
|
Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?
