  1. Democracy is an ongoing thing not a once of, for example the current UK Election.

  2. Independent Scotland would join the 7x larger European Market than the UK. How can removing 31 barriers to trade be worse?

  3. We don't.

  8.  @tisFrancesfault  Scottish Government can't have any deficit as its not a currency issuer. Last years consolidated accounts showed a budget underspend of just over 500 million. How can it have a budget deficit whilst also having a budget underspend?

  13.  @colinsmith1288  In Labour run Wales They just increased University Tuition fees to £9250 a year. In SNP run Scotland, its the 16th year of free Uni Tuition to Scots. Wales Council Tax Average is £600 a year or £50 a month Higher than Scotland's average. Just 5,785 new housing completions in in Wales in 2023. 3,6 times less than the 20,992 completions in Scotland. Employment Rate in Wales is 4,2% Lower than in Scotland. In 2023 International Trade in Goods Wales had a trade deficit. Scotland had a trade surplus.

  18.  @tisFrancesfault  Its ''irrelevant'' that ScotGov does not have the means to do deficit spending?

  22.  @JohnM...  You take yours, you seem to be angry about something

  23.  @colinsmith1288  No they dont. No it doesn't that's ridiculous. Scotland hasn't voted Torie majority since 1955. Labour isn't proposing to join the EU, The SNP are. The social entitlements will be taken away as Labour is a Unionist party and can't be seen to be providing better social services in one part of the Union. Drug policy is a Reserved Westminster Responsibility.

  29.  @Krytern  A population share of the UK State Assets and Liabilities is reasonable. Scotland's population is nothing? there are around 80 nations with smaller populations. No it doesn't.

  32.  @ianscott3180  Survation poll of 4000 people on the 18th said SNP will win the election in Scotland with 35 seats. That is a loss of 8 seats from the 43 currently and still win the election.

  33.  @alansbinnie1446  Can you tell me 1 new power Labour pledged to Devolve to Scotland's Parliament? Or are those that voted Labour going to have gained nothing voting Labour?

  36.  @colinsmith1288  You crack on and vote to Lower the standard of living here. Lose the protections from Westminster that SNP provides. Re-introduction of uni tuition fees. Lower employment rate. Higher council tax. Less housing completions. Neglect as you'l have handed power outwith Scotland and be forgotten about like last time.

  47.  @alansbinnie1446  Its a union not a country. British is a political ideology. Scottish is a nationality. You'l be wanting rid of every single gain made under the SNP then?
