I actually really like a lot of the SNPs policies but it's the independence thing that puts me off voting for them!! :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186461048704811799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465607313462970166.post-47353297043523551542007-05-02T09:21:00.000+00:002007-05-02T09:21:00.000+00:00Definately an interesting post!

Given that I haven't lived in Scotland since the new Scottish parliament was started, I can't really say whether this would have changed since then. <BR/><BR/>I heard an interesting item on Radio 5 Live yesterday evening responding to some survey which broadly suggested that more Scots were in favour of the union and felt there was benefit in the union than English. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, if the SNP get into power, and even if they do have a referendum on independence, it does not automatically mean independence will happen. There is still a lot of time between now and 2010. What if the SNP gain power and totally mismanage the country? Also remember that no single party is likely to gain overall control in parliament again - the Lib Dems may ne kingmakers again.tintocktaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094138607680074432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465607313462970166.post-21048357771928333342007-05-02T06:53:00.000+00:002007-05-02T06:53:00.000+00:00I can understand your worries... my OH is from Nor...I can understand your worries... my OH is from Northern Ireland, the hub of DIVIDE.

In Canada we seem to discuss - not a national referendum - but rather one provincial referendum (Quebec) about separation... and it seems to take up much of our national news some years. It's just sad, no matter which side you stand on. I believe in a united nation. For both Canada and for the U.K. The world wouldn't be the same if either separations were to actually occur.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for bringing it up. I'll be keeping my eye on the news for it now.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620626706025824486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465607313462970166.post-68932208670697420392007-05-01T16:05:00.000+00:002007-05-01T16:05:00.000+00:00This was a really interesting post.

So I hope all goes as you would like. <BR/><BR/>On a brighter note - Happy May Day and I hope you enjoy your SAL tonight!
