I was actually a member of the SNP in the dark and distant past, but I'm older and wiser now.

The Donald Trump golf course fiasco was the final nail in the coffin of my support for them.

The mind-boggling naivety they displayed shows that they can't be trusted to run a piss-up in a brewery, let alone a country.

Dont know about you nara but i feel like hes leading people up the garden path i feel his motives are going to end up more to benefit himself long term than the people i may be wrong but its just a gut feeling i have

ive never voted snp in my life and its highly unlikely i ever will. salmond has done away with prescription charges and council tax has been frozen for a couple of years but not sure how long that will continue. not sure on his ideas for the benefits system or building new council houses but id be interested to hear them.

I think the people of Scotland are being treated like mugs by Labour and the Conservatives. We contribute more in taxes than we get back. We're even told where to spend some of this money from a Government that I think only has one elected MP in Scotland.

We're forced to participate in wars that have nothing to do with us and even give away billions in overseas aid to countries that are better off than us.

For our population even forgetting about the oil we could stand alone. We have enough of a workforce paying taxes and businesses bringing in billions every year to more than cover our costs.

Think about it. If we're such a financial burden on the UK and we don't vote Conservative, why do they want to keep us except for our contributions. Would you, when the Countries in financial shi@e keep something thats costing you and doesn't want you or do you cut them adrift and pump your money into your supporters.

As for the SNP being in power. Where does it say that given independance they will be elected into power ? Surely it will be up to the people to decide. Maybe they'll vote for Scottish Labour or Scottish Greens etc. Don't be fooled by the press and Politicians.

Norway is in the same boat as us and they've a great standard of living, and as for us not being allowed into the EU and having to re-apply in our own right, I'm under the impression most people want the UK out of it anyway. Including some senior Conservative and Labour MP's that are bleating that Scotland may not be allowed in.
