[quote][i]Originally posted by alan-g-w[/i] Here's my bottom line on all this, beyond the propaganda and bluster that Salmond continuously peddles. This is not the time for any country in the world to be splitting from another. Maybe if the referendum in the 80s (iirc) got enough votes it would be a viable option since the world was thriving at that time and subsequently we'd have had 20yrs of it going fine before the 'economic downturn' came about. The fact that the SNP want to now sever ties with countries which, ultimately, make our lives easier is a total joke. They themselves have admitted that it's fraught with danger, that there is a risk element involved. Why choose to be doing this at a time when the world is just starting to get back on its feet and when Britain, never mind Scotland, aren't at their best? This is why it reeks of self importance amongst the nationalist ranks. To clarify, I'm not saying I don't think Scotland could afford to go independent even though I'm against it - I'm saying that in the last 25yrs this has got to be the worst possible time to be thinking about proposing it. As I've said, Salmond and his cronies are planning every single political move with the independence referendum in mind, not the interests of the Scottish citizens. But he'll lie (non existent EU advice anyone?), perform spectacular u-t urns over the pound and NATO from what has been values at the heart of his party for years - what does this tell us about how he'll be running an independent country?
