I never understood the campaign for an independent Scotland.... Until now

9. On what do you base that opinion?

The accident of a few UK party leaders' birth has nothing to do with what sort of democratic deal Scotland has or has not had. That assertion is certainly ridiculous. As you'd know if you had any background knowledge of Brown's ardent campaigning for the Union during the first indyref and since then, and the hollow promises of devolution-plus he proclaimed with no authority. At the next general election, Labour was roundly rejected at the polls in Scotland - reduced to one seat. That didn't happen without good reason. As for Smith and Blair, Labour had to be dragged by the nose to very grudgingly eventually allow a Scottish Assembly. The powers of that assembly are under threat from a number of the current Tory leadership contenders.

But since the last time you steamed in here full of opinions you didn't bother sticking around to respond to those who replied to you, it's probably a fool's errand to bother to engage with you.
