What? Can you rephrase that please?

You are of mixed descent (English and Scot) therefore you are British. Whereas Scots who aren't of mixed descent are Scottish.

SNP doesn't seem that good of a party, but if Scotland became independent, it could open up space for a more right wing Scottish Party, as well as tilting politics toward the right in the remainder of Britain.

It doesn't really work like that. Over here mixed ethnic heritage (English + Scottish, English + Welsh, Scottish + Irish etc.) is common.

Yes, I find it quite annoying that a Serb tells someone in Britain that they're not Scottish or whatever they identify as.

British is an artifical identity just as Yugoslav is. People who identify as Yugoslav are often Muslim or come from a mixed marriage.

I think that it's quite rude that you tell the British here what they are and what they aren't. I think that they can determine that for themselves.

Nah... just sharing my opinion as this is a forum, no?

Sadly the only parties standing in Renfrewshire are all anti-Catholic. I cannot vote for any of them in good conscience.

[Graham]

Why on earth would you want SNP to win?

Iain Gray, Andy kerr, Richard Baker etc..! Labour are a joke at the moment.

The SNP have done well as a minority government over the past four years. They've proven to be competent enough to to be in Government for another five. I disagree with the SNP on the EU, but we're stuck here anyway.

Why would you want independence?

What's so great about the UK at the moment?

Would like to have greater fiscal authority and responsibility for the Scottish Parliament instead of the block Grant we receive from London every year. Less control from London the better.
"England loses a surly lodger and gains a good neighbour".

I'd at least settle with Full Fiscal Autonomy and for us not to vote on English voting matters.

Oh well, no less there then.
