Scottish Independence Party?

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Whits all this then? A new independence party?

 

A new pro-independence party is hoping to field candidates across Scotland in next year's Holyrood election, but says they must be able to pay their own deposits to stand.

Seems like the dafties will be all over this. Yes lost, but the fight will go on. Getting straight back up and windmilling just after you've been knocked down is a horrid idea. This will go nowhere.

I think Tommy Sheridan will be involved in this in a big way.

 

Not really his exact standings but there was strong rumors he would be back with a new party once he clears his name (as best it can be cleared)

Just remember everyone laughed at Sevco when they first started.

Now (if you listen to them) everyone is fearing them again.

And if you listen to me, I've got an 8 inch cock and look better than Brad Pitt.

This 'new' party is simply a reflection of the likelihood that the SNP won't include a new referendum in their manifesto for the Holyrood elections next year. Last year's referendum seems to have fired some people up to the point where they are desperate to have another... so desperate, in fact, that they are willing to split from the SNP itself if they refuse to promise a re-run.

 

Even speaking as a supporter of independence, holding another referendum so soon after the last one is clearly a remarkably stupid idea. This new lot can get tae.

Think you are right - just read his wife bleating in the evening times about an indy rally in george sq being banned incase it causes bother.

 

Had i been involved in the indy campaigns, I would have been keen for the campaign to stay on the central ground and so have wide appeal. Its amazing how far it has been allowed to lurch to the left and sections of it seem increasingly like the SSP wrapped in tartan.

Yep. The SNP are doing it tactically. Waiting until the 46% are absolutely salivating at the prospect to get everyone fired up enough to do their utmost to help. Best chance of a Yes imo.

 

 

I see that there's going to be no pro indy rally but the Orangefest and 12th march can go ahead. Fucking pish min. Nae wonder naeb'dy likes Weegie.

Tbh, I always thought the SNP would've changed their name years ago to try and move away from similarities to BNP, but what would I know

I don't think they're real. Just a load of shite to troll idiots like CS.

 

Their policies include:

 

 

1. Allow teenagers to get jobs at 15 as opposed to 16.

2. Lower the age to 16 to purchase beer & cider in pubs. (ID required) This will get the youngsters used to drinking so that when they come of age to purchase HARD alcohol from the shops/pubs & nightclubs etc, they won’t obliterate their insides.

3. All officers will be trained in the use of firearms. They will be required to carry them and will subsequently be armed officers who will the be protecting this country on the frontline.

4. Remove Police Community Support Officers as they’re a waste of money & require police backup whenever things go south.

5. Remove the TV licensing fee or lower it as it’s a nuisance and some people struggle to pay it each year.

6. Lower the retirement age. (Self explanatory really.)

7. Death Penalties for Murderers & Convicted Paedophiles. (We don’t need them clogging up the prisons.)

8. Improve the education system despite it being excellent already. (Hands on education/REAL life skills education) – Our education system needs an overhaul. Instead of kids sat looking at a board and being told what to learn and then repeat it in several exams. Learning should be more about on going assessment, asking questions, critical thinking etc and politics should be a part of the curriculum. That way we can take the power from the elite who baffle everyone with jargon and give it to the future generations. Employers are coming out in their droves to complain that kids are coming out of school with no real work place applicable skills. This drastically needs to change.

9. Get rid of speed cameras & bring in a minimum speed limit, not a maximum speed limit.

10. Legalise prostitution. This would be done from registered facilities which pay tax. It would allow girls far more protection and could lower disease rates and drug issues linked to the “profession”.

11. Legalise Cannabis. This includes growing cannabis however DRUG DEALING will still be considered a criminal offence & may get you some time in jail. Honestly, smoking a plant without any added chemicals is considered illegal whereas cigarettes which are known to contain carcinogens are legal. In an ideal world, we’d ban cigarettes but obviously a lot of people would disagree with this. Weed is healthy and has been known to cure things. There have been no deaths from weed EVER yet we see people dying from smoking cigarettes each year.

12.The prison system needs toughened up. They ain’t in there as a reward so they should stop being treated as such. Strip out the pool tables, games consoles, tv’s etc. This would hopefully stop people reoffending & getting thrown back in jail as it’s an easier ride than everyday life. If we removed all the gear then they would be dreading going back to prison.

13. Voting for 16 year olds.

14. Set up an oil fund.

15. A number/licence plate system for cyclists as well as an insurance system for bike riders. We can identify all other vehicles on the road but there is no way of knowing who is riding a bike if they happen to do something they shouldn’t.

16. Allow terminally ill patients to have euthanasia as an option. It’s rather condescending that those without any conditions or terminal illness are the ones who make the decisions regarding those living in severe pain etc. Just as life is a human right then choosing to end your own should be a right also.

This would not be for those suffering depression or having a bad day at work. It would be for people medically diagnosed with terminal, progressive and/or debilitating diseases.

17. Publicly owned services. Public railway,public water, public energy, public oil etc.

18. A nationalised central bank with our own currency. (Suggested by someone in the comments below.)

19. All workers should get a single minimum wage. An 18 year old pays the exact same prices as a 30 year old so why should they not earn the same amount for the same job. Just as females should be paid the exact same as men for the same job. (Suggested by someone in the comments below.)

20. Reduce poverty with the eventual aim of no more food banks. ( Suggested by someone in the comments below.)

21. Legalise handguns, rifles etc. (Not semi-auto or fully auto rifles, only bolt action)

22. Possibly bring back National Service in the event of an Indy Scotland. (Have to serve between 6-12months in either the Army, Marines or Navy etc.)

23. Child benefit and all associated money capped at 2 children for people who ARE NOT working. (Families earning tens of thousands a year just for having several kids is not fair on working families or the system as a whole.)

24. Mandatory driving re-test for old age pensioners (Free of charge by the government) so that they understand all the current driving laws and don’t possess a risk to other motorists or themselves.

25. Segregated schools – What this means is that any pupil who is out of line or unwilling to learn gets three chances to show that they’ve been good in class. If they continue to disrupted then they’ll be placed into a completely different section of the School with the rest of the idiots and kids who think they can disrupt the learning of others. Basically, this would mean that the people who want to learn are able to do that in a controlled environment and those who wish to muck around can be sectioned off elsewhere. Once the kids who have been disruptive or not engaging in class work have improved their overall attitude to school & class work, they can be placed back in their previous class.

26. No Nuclear Weapons on Scottish Soil.

27. Protection for the sick, weak & vulnerable.

28. Better pension & state benefits.

29. No lords that govern Scotland.

30. Make sure that all school children are able to play a musical instrument for free as well as helping students with grants etc.
