S wouldo you want to abolish the Welsh Assembly and you would not be keen on a Welsh Parlement then?

Incidentally, I have a ticket to BBC Radio Scotland's version of Question Time this Friday ... "Brian Taylor's Big Debate" ... Looks like I might have accidentally got a seat for the most important edition ever. Cannae wait!

Labour is closer to the SNP than the Tories/Lib Dems (apart form how Independent Scotland should be)

I'm fairly unconcerned by the prospects of Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland leaving the union. Scotland seem to want to be a socialist nirvana, they can pay for it themselves directly through raising their own revenues, Wales and Northern Ireland are extremely resource consuming.
Things change.

To be honest, London and South east of England susidise the rest of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

The SNP are a one man party, Salmond is the SNP and vice versa and without him there is no SNP
He wont be there forever.
Do the Scots really want to be led to Independance by Salmond, and then dumped like a bride the day after her wedding.

Most Scots voted for the SNP because they were left wing, not because they want a Independent Scotland

Actually I was trying to teach you about word meanings, I bow to your greater knowledge of sheep and sheep handling any day.

I much prefer the issues of Wales being dealt with in Wales and not by people who have never been here. I'm in favour of a Welsh Assembly, just not the muppets in there since it started.

London is a massive generator of income for England and the rest of Britain, it would be a disaster.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
If Scottish MPs stopped voting on English matters, the Conservatives would have a near permanent majority and could choose to implement more cost cutting measures like the ones the current Government are introducing.
