ReagaNOMNOMicks posted:Yes we get it Nikola, you need Scotland to be independent to join the EU. You can stop the show. Nah she needs to demonstrate to the voters that she has tried every conceivable method of keeping Scotland in both the UK and EU. The reality is though that independence will be required, and so hopefully Westminster will continue to display the current level of competence and leadership for the next few months until that can happen.

I can just picture that meeting now. Sturgeon walks into the room and asks "Can Scotland remain in the EU while being a member of the UK?" Everyone says "Nope, go and win independence, we'll provide tacit support to gently caress with the Brits", and then they sit around for 30 minutes playing candy crush on their phones.

The area of Glasgow is probably a majority population of new Scots and the only hate crimes I've witnessed are yoons who don't event live here moaning about it on social media. I'm just guessing they're yoons based on the high number of Rangers based avatars.

Chas McGill posted:I keep having to remind idiots that my dad was an immigrant, whereupon they trot out "not that kind of immigrant". Even in fairly multicultural Aberdeen there are unwitting xenophobes. Does Aberdeen still have a fairly sizeable National Front presence? I lived there about 10 years ago and remember being shocked by the amount of NF and swastika graffiti around the place.

Lets be independent and stay in the EU, my partner's career depends on it and she can make so much more than I ever will. Please pretty please. EDIT: She's actually a No to Yes because of this referendum loving up her plans.

Extreme0: Having now taken the chance to read through the past weeks opinion pieces in the Tory press, it would appear that the holy trinity of the Scottish right wing commentariat are all in the process of making the No to Undecided journey (depending on how things pan out over the next few months). That Sinking Feeling - Chris Deerin England has made its priorities clear - Alex Massie Having spoken about refashioning case for Scottish independence, Sturgeon now has her chance - David Torrance

Baron Corbyn posted:Speaking as a Welsh person, it's always funny seeing Scots complaining that they don't have enough power. Though perhaps we shouldn't have any more power based on the EU referendum results. The Welsh assembly should have more power, but you only ever get anything when you threaten to leave so probably vote Plaid next time.

Question for Nats (and non-Nats of course). If the UK government was to devolve basically everything except defence, and some useless royal family bullshit, while also negotiating full EEA status for the UK. Would you be happy with that as a constitutional compromise for the foreseeable future? I think that I would be tempted.

hookerbot 5000 posted:Most of the parents I know who are aware of the legislation hate it. I don't think it's because they hate the SNP, they just don't like the idea of being watched and judged. They aren't being watched though, it simply means that if a kid goes to the hospital one week with a broken arm, goes to scouts with a black eye, and possibly mentions to a teacher that dad sometimes gets angry. The NP would receive this info to determine if there is anything to be concerned about, which they can then report to social services if required. It's completely benign and will hopefully save children from abusive situations that may not otherwise be noticed.

The Scottish Six is not about making the news more parochial, it's about making the news more relevant. The BBC has failed to come to terms with devolution and reports on issues that are wholly English as if they are UK wide. Other than for us to point and laugh, what's the point in the national news reporting on junior doctors contracts and a-level results? Now the Scottish Parliament can raise taxes, and Westminster now has EVEL. Things have diverged substantially in the space of a couple of years, and will in all likelihood diverge even further. Having a Scotland centred national news broadcast is sensible and right. Scotland 20whatever was pretty poo poo and I'm glad it's dead. It's quite hilarious that on a shoestring budget STV can provide better daily political coverage than the state funded broadcaster.

forkboy84 posted:How does having an extra 30 minutes from BBC Glasgow have any impact on the quality of news coverage? Quality is more important than quantity. Reporting Scotland struggles for content because all it reports on are murders, and some rather shallow coverage of Holyrood. I'd hope that with a wider scope and much higher budget they could do something more comprehensive. The BBC in London would still exist and the hypothetical Scottish Six would have access to correspondents and video features that they can slot in amongst their own content.

The Scottish government doesn't have a drugs policy. It's reserved to Westminster. Though I'm surprised to see them being accused of being soft touch as the SNP leadership is annoyingly conservative when it comes to things like decriminalisation.

My early days bullshit prediction is that the SNP will lose 2 or 3 seats to the Tories, ScotLab and the Liberals will continue to be irrelevant, the Greens will not figure. Tories will then claim that the Nats don't have a mandate because they only won 45% of the vote (ignoring the fact that they have are probably the UK Govnmt on the basis of 30something%.

Have the SNP confirmed that Thompson will be deselected, she is still suspended but I was under the impression that they were planning on reinstating her membership due to the police investigation leading to nothing.

Niric posted:This is really interesting, thanks for posting it. Pity to see that my former councilor, Mhairi Hunter, is standing for re-election- I follow her on twitter and she comes across as the epitome of an irritating (and really rather dim) party hack. I know Mhairi she's a good egg and has been a good councillor. Despite party allegiances, the Labour councillor Soryia Siddique is also a fairly decent. I hope she is re-elected, I'll be ranking her highly on the ballot.

Acaila posted:We've just had the SNP at the door checking if we've voted. Isn't that normally something parties only to do their very strong supporters? (like, people they give poll cards do and then they go chap doors of those who haven't handed their card in to the party hack at the polling station) They election day canvas based on Yes campaign data to target people who ranked independence highly on the scale, with the presumption that they will probably either vote SNP or Green.
