'Could it be that the SNP are willing to investigate every means possible to get their GRR Bill onto the statute books despite it obvious weaknesses, but are unwilling to do the same to achieve independence despite the obvious mandate from the people?'
would not try to abolish parliament. She may not be wrong. The best way to ensure the future of our parliament is independence. If perhaps the SNP had prioritised that aim over its apparent identity politics enthusiasms these past eight years, our parliament and democracy would already be secure.
It appears that the Scottish Parliament is now about to turn its attention to another subject not exactly top of the political agenda or close to the hearts of many of us, that of banning disposable vape containers in order to reduce litter.Secretary Humza Yousaf has promised to address this apparently massive problem when I suspect most of us would rather he try to concentrate on A&E waiting times and hospital waiting lists first.
The folk lying on hospital trolleys or currently living in cold homes with hungry children deserve a wee bit better from Scotland’s government.THE Scottish Government have proposed that in an independent Scotland they would raise the pension to the EU average – which, I believe is more than £300 per week – an increase of nearly double the pittance paid as the basic state pension.
In a recent poll it was said that the over-65s are more than 60% against independence. What is it about this group? Do they not believe the Scottish Government, or is there some other reason they are denying themselves a more comfortable retirement than the one they presently have?As a pensioner myself, I would be delighted to have my pension raised to such heights, and I dare say there are many other pensioners who would also.
Pensioners are the only group with a majority against independence. Maybe if/when they see the light, they may see a richer future away from the UK.
