theresa may the british p.m. has called for an election.. the house of commons has to vote tomorrow and have a two-thirds majority to agree and the main opposition parties want it to happen too so it looks pretty certain to go ahead..
Theresa May called the election because wants a blank check to do whatever she wants.
Labour can't win the election obviously, but many people in England are voting Labour to try to curb the Tory majority.
In Scotland we will likely vote SNP to curb the Tories.
We won't get another chance until 2022 because of May's cynical timing.
Journalists and others have noticed May is not above "playing games with politics" as she puts it.
It will backfire as people vote to stop her getting a landslide.

Phizzy what about the 40+ years previous to that when North Sea oil propped up the UK economy?
The fact is Scotland needs to develop its economy whether it becomes independent or not. One industry is in decline, others will replace it. Judging Scotland's economy on one year of low oil price is like evaluating someone's income during a month when they left one job and haven't started another yet.
Scotland still has a lot of oil and gas and could finally begin an oil fund like Norway, especially if the price recovers. And as Scotland adapts to no oil, it can copy many successful small countries without oil such as Denmark. Scotland has great resources and potential including tourism, renewable energy, food and drink exports, pharmaceuticals, financial services, worldclass universities.
Unionists need to explain how relying on handouts from London constitutes a viable economic plan. It's stupid, it's lazy, and it's pretty naive to think English people will go for it.
my therapist inspired me to start looking on the bright side.
even though i've pretty much given up listening to the bs and usually tune out the meeting by playing on my phone/tablet, i find the local needs talk oddly fascinating.
probably because it's the only part that doesn't seem outlined to death (at least at our hall), and you truly don't know what you get.
Never forget the local needs we had on using theocratic resources wisely, including not using too much toilet paper.

Scotland has been a net contributor to the UK for most of the last 40 years.
Why on earth would Scotland be any less "viable" than Denmark, Belgium, Ireland... and other similarl sized countries?
Scotland currently has a large deficit and no oil fund... as a result of being in the UK. The way to improve the situation is to govern ourselves and make better choices than those made on our behalf. We won't solve problems created under the union by remaining in the union.
Whether Scotland leaves or remains in the UK it needs to make its own way in the world. Unionists seem to live In fantasy world where England is going to send free money to Scotland when the oil runs out. Fact is that the UK has net benefitted from Scotland for decades. They will not be eager to begin subsidising Scotland as the oil runs down.
Scotland needs to develop its economy no matter what. Staying in the union and asking for handouts is not an economic plan.
Scotland has huge resources ans potential and could be a very successful small country.
now that she has announced that she is 20 weeks pregnant and not married, what is her status in the cult?
.
Are we 100% sure she's not married? People get married and don't announce it sometimes.

I've been a party member for years and attended numberous meetings and events. I've never heard an anti-English sentiment yet. In fact my SNP councillor is English.
And Simon the difference between imposed EU referendums and a second Scottish referendum is pretty clear: Scots voted for a party with a pledge to hold a referendum in their manifesto.
If Scots don't want another referendum it's quite simple - don't vote SNP in June. That's democracy.
I look forward to the result!

Remember if you vote for May you're voting for a Trump state visit later in the year...

If Labour was in any way a decent opposition they would have opposed holding an election and blocked it in parliament. "Now is not the time". Then what would the Tories have done? Complained that Labour changed its mind? What like May changed her mind? Provoke a vote of no confidence in their own government? What a farce that would have been!
Labour were handed an open goal yesterday and missed.
you people will certainly say: “the way of jehovah is not adjusted right.”—ezek.

Ha good one.
Quite apart from Jehovah's ways, I don't think the NWT has been properly "adjusted" in this passage - to render it in any way intelligible.

Obviously.
I hope it backfires.
