Re: Another Blow for Scottish Independence
Frankly I find the the Scots a bit of an enigma. With the increasing drugs problems in the cities, the decline in education and the health services, plus the increase in crime under their tenure, you have to wonder why the Scots keep returning them to power, to continue their mismanagement.The whole Scottish independence fiasco is just a cover up for the SNPs completely incompetent handling of the Scottish economy and public services.

It would be the start of Scotland becoming like Northern Ireland with regard to sectarian violence. Plus there is no future plans, no indication of where the money to finance in independent Scotland would come from. She just wants Independence on her record, and she will regret it. I didn't vote for it before, and I will not vote for it again.
Scotland is a wonderful country. I spent many a time in Ullapool, Durness, Edinburgh.
The SNP don't represent the people only the single policy agenda of division.
After 7 years Sturgeon hasn't found any answers to the most basic questions.

Scotland, on the other hand, would soon become bankrupt without the existing financial support of England or the hoped-for financial support of the EU.
The latter is unlikely to want an additional freeloader in addition to the several they already have. The only way they'd agree to admit Scotland would be to enable them to punish England even further, and I don't think that even they are that stupid.
For those reasons, I don't think Scotland has a cat in Hell's chance of existing as an independent country, other than eventually becoming a third world country, and I'm sure the majority of Scots are sensible to realise that.
I think the SNP voters live in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
