newguy, "Trump will not make 2."

Just a question, Do you really believe that, or is it simply your wishful thinking?

I'm interpreting your quote to mean, he'll be forced out of office by political or legal means, maybe you meant, he'll have health problems and will have to leave?

he will be forced out because he thinks he is above the law.

Scotland is not an incredibly wealthy country, never has been. In terms of resources it doesn't have a lot agriculture, forestry are the main land use - the heavy industries of coal, steel and ship building are long gone. Tourism, whisky and tartan sales are the big earners - "selling our image". Oil you could say has been the big resource that has come on the scene more recently. It's in the North Sea and extraction began in the 1970s. It wasn't "Scotlands oil" as the SNP claim as Scotland is part of the United Kingdom thus the revenues went towards general UK expenditure but Scotland benefitted through jobs and investment in the sector. The SNP do some simplistic calculations claiming that if an independent Scotland got all the oil revenue they would be a rich country but they conveniently exclude things like defence costs assuming that England/Wales and Ireland would continue to provide that free of charge.
I don't at all think Scotland gets dragged down by the rest of the UK we all have our strengths and weaknesses.
The majority of the Scottish population are socialist leaning as the population is largely in the urban areas
- the former coal and steel places. The rural areas are really Conservative - almost a country of 2 peoples. Labour was the traditional party of the left leaning working man - way further left than any comparable party in Canada. The SNP are probably further to the left than Labour. It's why I and so many others are keen to keep the UK together - the Conservative presence in England counteracts the Labour in Scotland to produce a balanced country. With independence England would have a permanent Conservative government, Scotland a permanent socialist one. I didn't fancy hanging around for that to transpire.

Imagine that no ideas, no jobs ,tipical NDP bulshit

[Robertbarlage]

So did the unions kill all jobs there to?

[malleefarmer]

funny isn't just a observation not a political comment guys in the usa a far right candidate got into power and in uk about as far left as you can get corbyn nearly got in?

it could have been grass farmer that made the comment voters seem to vote parties out rather than vote to keep them there.

people almost vote for change for change sake obvious odd one out was france recently.

One word about the Paris Scheme:

Puke.

It's simply a money-transfer tax from wealthy, productive-countries to third-world do-nothing economies.


And even the schemers now admit it.

I see it as an assault on the Western World. We will be reduced to a turd world country.
