Election result - what does it mean for Scotland?

[thinfourth]

Personally I'd like to see SNP making a positive contribution in Westminster and not just being difficult for the sake of it. Hoping Nicola will realise this as I don't think Alex salmond would have.

I agree i would love to see a mature intelligent argument making scotland a better place which is welcoming all be they rich or poor, black or white, young or old or dare i say the word english

However based on seeing the actions of their supporters i believe they will act like a spoilt toddlers in a sweetie shop. I think when they take over come tax powers will be the test. I can see the 40% band being dropped to encompass anyone daring to earn over £30K which to your average wee SNP dole monkey seems like a billion pounds


And i cannot wait for the first one to be caught fiddling expenses

And i love the rebellion against westminster career politicians who have never had a job with a politics degree by electing a gobby 20year old who has never had a job who is doing a politics degree

Hi all.

I just logged on to say that I voted tory and it's absolutely glorious that they got a majority.

I would just like to offer a hearty and sincere Get-It-Right-F***ing-Up-You to all the socialist bed wetters on here who will be currently having a bit of a meltdown over this.

What does it mean for Scotland? Bugger all. we will continue as normal but with an economy in the hands of people less inclined to rack up a trillion pound of debt.

While i have great difficulty in disagreeing with the sentiment

The danger is the SNP will be working flat out for the number 1 aim of independence so they can rack up trillions in debt


And then blame thatcher

Or if the tory party are smart enough they will give the SNP exactly what they want with all money be raised in scotland being spent in scotland and no more. Which will result in scotland tanking and it will all be the fault of thatcher


Anyway i must go and fix the landrover the horn doesn't work

Thatcher broke that too

No it is 19 years old it is more then likely to die

AH HA made under a tory government

"SNP dole monkey" is a bit harsh (IMHO).

As for the "gobby 20 yr old", her role is now to represent her entire range of constituents. If she does so, then no reason she should not be a salaried, serving MP. Regardless of her background or qualifications.

And lets she if she does that

I do not have very high hopes


I can see her gleefully fcuk up a local business to score a point against the rich tory cnut who owns it while ignoring the people who have just been thrown on the dole

Sheesh, that was uncalled for. One thing that has always happened here, to my knowledge and memory, is that anyone has been able to express political views for and against, whichever party they support, without being abused.

I will leave you to ponder the trillion pound debt we now have but didn't have before the Tories came to power.

I look forward to you being "right".

I'm off to wet the bed.

Getting ahead of myself -2016 is the Scottish Parliament election (which looks likely to give use no change) & as you say Council election is 2017.

After the shambles that was the referendum I made the conscious decision to sever all my financial ties in Scotland, which I have mainly through business and property. Still in the process of tying up loose ends but nearly there. So my short term move to Norfolk on the back of my partner moving here through work, has turned out to be a permanent one.

With the way the election has gone and the way things are shaping up for the near-medium term future I feel very content with that decision.

As a good friend, who is an economist, advised me at the time - never mind the sh*t hitting the fan you have to let it splatter all over the wall before you have any chance of tidying it up.

I can now see Cameron handing every shred of power possible to the SNP, standing back, and watching it start to splatter all over the wall. It will be interesting to see how they act going forward when they don't have anyone else to scapegoat and throw snidey remarks at. They will be accountable for their actions and not for their rhetoric, sound bites and crib sheets.

The only saving grace could be that we are hopefully not independent by then so someone should be on hand to help pick up the pieces.

Jeremy

Is that the elected buckfast swigger who talks through her nostrils ? I had to laugh when I seen her give an interview on how ordinary folk were 'pure' sick of being asked to tighten their belts 'man' when they see the Westminster elite give themselves big pay rises.

As her illustrious leader, Nicola 'Patron Saint of The Poor' Sturgeon, who earns a bigger salary than David Cameron and is in fact the 6th highest paid politician in the world, flew overhead in her helicopter.

They're never shy about letting facts get in the way of a good argument though, the SNP. Sorry not 'facts', 'scaremongering' as they call it.

Jeremy

Isn't it traditional to wait until at least parliament to restart before a party to go back on election promises?

Salmond is saying we will have another referendum

You know all sides have economists don't you?

<name calling hysterical rant>

Well that seems a tad uncalled for but I'm sure you have your reasons, although I do fear what sort of bike would have been unleashed had you lost!

You take care, I have some bed linen to change.
