There’s no way the Unionists can expect to hold on to their preferred constitutional arrangements as a minority against the wishes of the majority. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We voted No Thanks in 2014 in a ‘once in a generation, once in a lifetime opportunity’ referendum.
Plus, Boris said No.

There’s no way unionists can expect to hold on to their preferred constitutional arrangements as a minority against the wishes of the majority.

That they even want to do so is telling.

The majority said No Thanks.
Boris is saying No.
Good old Bojo.
That’ll come in handy. 😀

There will be a referendum. The unionists are running so scared of it.

They have to be realistic though. There’s no way they can expect to hold on to their preferred constitutional arrangements as a minority against the wishes of the majority.

They know this. They had their way for over 300 years so they really don’t have much of a right to feel upset. They can have their union again if they wish, in they year 2335.
Seriously 🙈😂

However, senior SNP figures, including then First Minister Alex Salmond, said that the referendum would be a “once in a generation opportunity” for Scotland.

The Scottish Government’s 2013 white paper, Scotland’s Future, which made the case for Scottish independence, also defined the referendum as a “once in a generation opportunity”.

In the Q&A section of the document, The Scottish Government answers the question “If Scotland votes No, will there be another referendum on independence at a later date?”

The Scottish Government’s response was: “The Edinburgh Agreement states that a referendum must be held by the end of 2014. There is no arrangement in place for another referendum on independence.

“It is the view of the current Scottish Government that a referendum is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. This means that only a majority vote for Yes in 2014 would give certainty that Scotland will be independent.”


Before the 2014 vote, Nicola Sturgeon herself repeatedly called the referendum a “once in a lifetime” or “once in a generation” opportunity, such as in an interview with the BBC’s Daily Politics, where she said: “The SNP have always said that in our view these kind of referendums are ‘once in a generation’ events.”

Sturgeon is doing everything she can to avoid holding a referendum so she is keeping to her word, although I don’t recall her word every being couched in the terms of “a promise”.

Vows don’t need to be kept, so promises don’t anyway, especially when things change and vows corresponding to promises are broken.

The SNP have no right to decide how often referendums can be held anyway. That is a matter for the people and the Parliament.

There will be another referendum, relatively soon. Yoons should get themselves used to it rather than this constant dodging. 😎

The 3 factors I outlined above all stand. Yoons can kid themselves on. Suits me.

Boris said No.

Morning JTC.

Yes. I’m pro-independence. Always have been.

I didn’t engage with the SNP until 2006. At that point they convinced me they were a realistic vehicle for independence and a viable Scottish Government.

I was pretty happy with the SNP up until 2016 and gradually became disaffected through to the present day, both by policy and by the internal machinations I was witnessing. I cancelled my membership in 2018.

They have my vote still as there is no alternative. I will return to the party possibly in 2021, if the leadership changes and policies are drastically improved.

I guess that all sounds a bit in and out and lacking in loyalty, but I don’t believe in loyalty. It’s a control mechanism.

If you only vote for a party based on wanting independence you’ll accept any old shite they foist upon the public.
You really couldn’t give two fücks about the people of Scotland.

Says the bright spark who prefers Westminster to foist whatever they like on the people of Scotland. Very good! 😆

Show me where I ‘prefer Westminster to foist whatever they like on the people of Scotland’.
it is entirely your preference.

....but you can’t provide proof?

“Boris says no!!! 🇬🇧 “

And?

You understand.

Nope.
You appear to be conflating things.
The SNP said ‘once in a generation, once in a lifetime opportunity’.
Is being held to keep their word wrong?

The Nats must keep their once in a generation/lifetime promise.  Anything else is an insult to the people of Scotland.

There are several problems with that assessment.

1. “Once in a generation” was not binding in law.
2. Past governments cannot bind future governments. This is a matter of law.
3. It is the people of Scotland who favour a new referendum. And independence.

4.

I believe Sturgeon made the promise repeatedly.  In my own personal life, I try to keep my promises whether they are made into law or not, but maybe Sturgeon just has a different moral code from me.  It didn't seem to be a manifesto governmental promise either, it was a promise to the Scottish people.  Allowing opinion polls to sway one's decision to try and break a promise or not is also deeply immoral, especially when she started trying to break it before opinion polls showed such results.

Sturgeon falls firmly into the red section of the below image IMO.  That's where promise breakers go.

Yes. I don’t care what the SNP said. You’ll be familiar with the principle that governments can’t bind future governments.

The majority of people in Scotland want and new referendum. You are happy and content that Boris should just say no.

Would you like some TCP for that swording? 🗡

The majority voted No Thanks.

I guess that all sounds a bit in and out and lacking in loyalty, but I don’t believe in loyalty. It’s a control mechanism.

If you only vote for a party based on wanting independence you’ll accept any old shite they foist upon the public.
You really couldn’t give two fücks about the people of Scotland.

Says the bright spark who prefers Westminster to foist whatever they like on the people of Scotland. Very good! 😆

Show me where I ‘prefer Westminster to foist whatever they like on the people of Scotland’.
it is entirely your preference.

....but you can’t provide proof?

Morning JTC.

Yes. I’m pro-independence. Always have been.

I didn’t engage with the SNP until 2006. At that point they convinced me they were a realistic vehicle for independence and a viable Scottish Government.

I was pretty happy with the SNP up until 2016 and gradually became disaffected through to the present day, both by policy and by the internal machinations I was witnessing. I cancelled my membership in 2018.

They have my vote still as there is no alternative. I will return to the party possibly in 2021, if the leadership changes and policies are drastically improved.

Erm... not really mate.I understand if You want indy but dont like the current SNP set up .Thats perfectly understandable .I get why (if you believe in indy)you would vote for them but not like the  leadership etc.she really has a cult of personality going on in my view.
Your views are similar to many miners(in my area) who ,whilst loving the NUM didnt rate Scargills no ballot approach .In fact whilst staying in the NUM and not joining the UDM they made it clear that any more stunts like that and there would be trouble.
Sometimes leaders can forget why they are leaders.That being they were voted in as leaders.They forget the people hold the power not them

The SNP’s financial performance (on top of any missing funds) is beyond disgraceful. Revenues from memberships alone should be £7.5m but this has inexplicably never materialised.

With the huge growth there should have been development and restructuring. Murrell seems to have done the square root of **** all!

But hey, lets trust them with an iScotland where, if we had any money, they couldn’t tell us which currency it would be in.


It’s more a case of trusting the people of Scotland with their own money. Seems to works well for other medium sized countries.
Morning PG
From reading your posts I get the impression You are for iScotland but not particularly keen on the SNP? .Or the current model of the SNP?Am I on the ball here or barking uo the wrong tree?
