@CaptainhowdyTZ Nah Paul, we'll do what we like. You only just won, remember that. Your union is dying. Unionists haven't won in Scotland for nearly two decades.

I'm not sure that's quite right, you numpties forget we had the referendum and you lost badly.
We simply can't re-run referendum's every few years, these constitutional questions can only be asked on a generational basis, even a nationalist should be able to grasp this.

@Macnessie @Mike_Blackley I know talk about over egging a pudding. Journalist, like that's a thing that even exists these days. Writing shite for fuck all money. Waiting to lose your job because no one reads your bollocks. Hilarious.

In the wake of the Jordan Linden scandal, John Swinney is campaigning alongside Kirsten Oswald today. She faced criticism for her handling of concerns about Patrick Grady.
Sadly, print journalists were missed off the invitation list for this event.

@BothVotesIndy I agree 100%. The more indy MSPs the better. I'm also familiar with D'Hondt and #bothvotesindy
I was pointing out to Bridget re. her desperation to get rid of the SNP, the repercussions of putting unionists in charge at Holyrood. Pretty pointless really. She's not a real person.
English
@ZombieHotrod @moomintroll41 @Bazza30303 @ScotNational Better to elect nearly 30 more indy MSPs instead of more unionist pain.
It shows commitment by the people.
It gives international recognition to the cause.
It allows more influence in the parliament.

BREAKING: The SNP are set for an outright majority in the Holyrood elections, according to a major new poll
The new research is only the second time multi-level regression and post-stratification (MRP) has been used to estimate the results of a Scottish parliament election
English
@moomintroll41 Are unionists too stupid to support a single party to defeat the SNP and fix a trashed Scotland?
Which English party could that be?
English
@ZombieHotrod @Bazza30303 @BothVotesIndy @ScotNational Just because around 30% of the electorate are stupid enough to vote for a party because of Indy, doesn’t mean that party is doing a good job - they clearly aren’t. The SNP unfairly wins out because the unionist vote is split so many ways-the SNP win in spite of their incompetence

Will the English tax payer regret bankrolling the UK?
Could England leave the UK?

@moomintroll41 @Bazza30303 @BothVotesIndy @ScotNational It is strange that the SNP have remained in government whilst they "have trashed everything". However polling on independence sits around 50-50. If people aren't interested why doesn't an English unionist party win at Holyrood and why are you so worried about independence?
English
@ZombieHotrod @Bazza30303 @BothVotesIndy @ScotNational Scotland isn’t safe with the SNP in charge, that’s the problem. They are utterly incompetent and corrupt and have trashed everything that was good about Scotland. Indy won’t happen because the majority don’t want it - simple

@Maximus728388 They can look for the sympathy vote but Labour are as popular as a skid mark on a wedding dress.
English
@DrRJSimpson You are far from the only one. We all get called names of some sort it's just most of us ignore it and block them. Labour seem to like crying about it instead on social media looking for sympathy votes.

So far this week I’ve been called a liar, cunt, to fuck off, traitor, & shyt. And more than once told to go to England. All instead of a reasonable rational debate. Why is abuse second nature to some on twitter.

@gordymeister @gorbalsgoebbels Hey we're not all civic and joyous. The doc's a big boy, he can handle it. When did Malcolm Tucker get all touchy feely. You're slipping Goebbels. Tut tut .

@gorbalsgoebbels The level of ‘civic and joyous’ replies was quite impressive

Dr Richard Simpson is a sensible man who has served Scotland. Shameful he has received such abuse.

@moomintroll41 @Bazza30303 @BothVotesIndy @ScotNational Your union is safe with the SNP. For the last 10 years the SNP has been no threat. Elect an English unionist party to Holyrood and that will all change. They will definitely turbo charge separation. Quicker than you can say unmitigated Westminster policies. Check mate BJ. 😜
English
@Bazza30303 @BothVotesIndy @ScotNational It’s about time that you realised that the problem is the SNP & not Westminster. What are your thoughts on so many ppl in the SNP hierarchy protecting/promoting paedophile Linden for over 10 yrs?! I guess that you think that’s ok! And that it’s ok to put men in women’s prisons!
English
@kevverage @jazzyrussell59 What's that got to do with anything I said? According to you, a fiscal transfer exists. My point is the English tax payer may not wish to subsidise the other UK nations and leave the UK. Surely Scotland, Wales and the North of Ireland should prepare for that outcome.
English
@ZombieHotrod @jazzyrussell59 if you don’t believe in fiscal transfers within a nation then i guess so - but the people of Ross & Cromarty should probably prepare to be kicked out of an independent Scotland on that basis
English
A meme for common sense!
Wishaw, Scotland 🇬🇧 English
@kevverage @jazzyrussell59 So essentially what you're saying Kevin, is that the English tax payer is propping up Scotland (and Wales/ North of Ireland). Shouldn't we be planning an exit strategy for the time when the English decide they don't want to bankroll the UK any longer and decide to leave the UK?
English
@jazzyrussell59 i will take your failure to answer my direct question as confirmation that you haven’t taken the time to understand the scale of the fiscal an independent Scotland would face (and you wouldn’t have got an A writing economically illiterate buff like that post)
English
@SJMfaeglasgow I wasn't asking to discuss anything. You're clearly peddling dodgy information hence your reluctance to defend your shite reasoning for both votes SNP.

@ZombieHotrod @80_mcswan Sorry, I’ll only discuss theee things with reasonable people. For that reason, I’m out.
English
44.4% of Independence supporters according to my poll plan to vote SNP both votes.
44.8% plan to vote SNP 1 & other pro Indy party.
The rest remain undecided
English
Yep, the SNP are a useless shower of shit but unfortunately for Scotland the unionists are even worse. The union offers nothing for Scotland. Look at the absolute clusterfuck of England and Wales. Do you think we don't notice? #ScottishIndependence
IndyDaft@schweptywabos
@SirSimonClarke The SNP want to improve Scotland. All Unionists want is to sully the SNP. That’s the difference, and no amount of speeches, posts or newspaper articles about how you feel entitled to Scotland will change that. You suggest nothing, you offer nothing, so you get nothing.
English
@SJMfaeglasgow @80_mcswan 2011 was an extraordinarily successful election for the SNP, however many unionists got in on the list vote precisely because both votes SNP delivered so few list SNP MPs compared to vote share. Sadly that's how the D'Hondt system works. #bothvotesindy keeps unionists out.
English
@80_mcswan In 2011 the SNP won a majority due to a lower constituency vote and a higher list vote. These same circumstances could play out in 2026.
Nothing is certain so handing your 2nd vote to the Greens could reduce the overall number of SNP MSPs if the polls are wrong - they often are

🏴Highlands & Islands 2021: 96,433 independence list votes returned just 1 list MSP. The same votes for a pro-indy list party could have won 4. That's how the system works. See the numbers👇

@khris_mr @J4m35c4mpb3ll Why would any of that change if Scotland was independent? How is it divisive to wish our government to be exclusively in Scotland? Are you a fan of one world government? We could live and work anywhere in the world. No borders. Or is it just the UK border you're happy with?
English
@J4m35c4mpb3ll There are no borders across Britain- there are historical, ceremonial & administrative ones only, thus we can travel, work & live - change job, move house & study freely wherever we choose to. Let’s keep it that way & ignore divisive nationalism (fanned by Iran & Russia)
English
Scotland has been subjected to 310 yrs of colonial exploitation - deindustrialisation - genocide - cultural erasion - annexation - oppression - lies - manipulation & historical contortion - but these fools expect us to vote for more of it?
Enough already.
English
Westminster is far removed from Scotland both geographically and ideologically. All politicians need to be kept on a short leash. When they step out of line or are simply not good enough we can replace them easier. An indy Scotland should legislate better political oversight.
yourname@swedetaxedermy
@grayk1999 @CraigHouston_ That’s policy and politics - a different issue from the constitution.Much easier for Scot’s to vote out bad Scottish politicians than the Westminster ones where it’s a case of like or lump it.
