An snp that aren't Scotlands brexit party. So Scotland isn't badly shafted by its own politicians worse than tories. 

The SNP will falter at some point then Labour will be back up in Scotland much to the annoyance of some I’m sure.

This seems fair enough. From what I have read the members preferred choice was prevented from running last time due to claims found to be false. So now they can have the MP they wanted.

Because gilt yields still rising meaning increased govt borrowing costs, bank of england having to intervene more, and might extend how long it keeps doing this bond buying thing till end of month when Kwarteng will save us all by cutting shit loads of future spending.

as they haven't done on the basis of being exposed by  the 2014 white paper, then scots will buy any old tripe. if indy had happened in 2014  Scotland would be completely fucked now.

There would be a refugee crisis as English people try to escape to Scotland.

SNP and Scottish independence may recede quite a bit if/when Sturgeon quits.

Ireland wasn't promising its people a better standard of living from indy. Scotland has been, but its not there to be had, cos the uk gives Scotland loads, like its renewable energy, plus loads more.

the uk should give Scotland full fiscal autonomy and watch support for indy fall like a stone.

[steviewevie]

Anyway, don't think they'll get referendum granted, so maybe it will end up in courts...and maybe they will have a referendum anyway...and then depending on how that goes Sturgeon may quit and the Scots can  just put up living in an english tory shithole.

maybe they wouldn't have loads of unfunded tax cuts that push the economy to the brink and mean we now will end up with loads of spending cuts.

me neither cos that would be an obligation on Westminster to act on behalf of just Scotland. (which probably breaks some obscure bit of legislation). the devolution bill is very clear on this subject. if the snp don't accept that part, maybe it should void the Scottish parliament part too).

just shit loads of unfunded spending. Scotland would need to cut spending like a tory (will do if independent too). which is why salmond the old perv went for the massive lies last time.

if you'd done indy in 2014 your president would have been in court for attempted rape, would that make scots proud of their independence.

no, just not shit loads of unfunded tax cuts. A bigger state, more equal society, more sexy scandinavian, more awesome.
