Shouty SNP here Jane 10 Westminster is responsible for over 80% of our laws and financial decisions ...well spending our money anyway.The EU is only responsible for 5% .With Westminster we are a largely ignored "partner" in the union ,witness any day in the H of C for examples.In the EU we would remain one of 27/28 EQUAL partners with a say on everything just like any other Independent country,you must understand that the UK had as much a say in every EU law as everyone else .
..Bagatelle WE aren't dependant on oil,Westminster takes the lions share of the revenue from oil from OUR coastal waters and even had 6000 square miles reasigned to England before devolution.The coast of ENGLAND now stretches to St Andrews.Westminster continues to sell licenses for the oil in Scottish waters ,there was yet another new find of upwards of 50 MILLION barrels being worked on just this week.You wont hear that from the BBC! Scotland has the ability to be a wealthy country IF we dont subsidise the rUK as we have been doing for not just decades but centuries.The figures are available from WM archives though they stopped publishing them in 1922.Perhaps you'd like to ask any other nation why they want THEIR independence ,we aren't the only ones who have broken away ,when Malta decided to go down this route all the same nonsense was thrown at them..too wee ,too poor , too stupid.Malta is doing very well and it doesn't have fraction of the assets we have .Now we find ourselves being dragged out of the EU ,we NEED immigrants ,and we are happy to have them .Well most of us are, not sure about the OO or the tory contingent .Ask Jane about them .I wont be replying to this after all the ratio on here is even higher than WM unionists and WM SNP ,so the bullies will appear always to win ...the biggest boys in the playground usually do .Of course Bagatelle we know the oil is safer on the UK 's broad shoulders ,thats what Cameron said....so it must be true ,our scandinavian friends who discovered it at the same time dont agree with him either.I wont be replying to this so enjoy yourselves running us down as you all do it so well .Maybe I should campaign for independence for England? Oh wait a minute they would be much worse off without us...THATS why they hold on so desperately!Now I'm out and off the site for good.
