If the country does not wake up to this very shortly we can expect the type of chaos and ruination that has made the period from 2008-2012 seem like a tea party.Originally Posted by The Penguin wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 13:42

Just for some balance, I am a voter based in England and the prospect of the SNP having some power doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Great innit.Originally Posted by Croesy Blue wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 13:49
But hey ho lets have some run about screaming the end is nigh at the prospects of the SNP being any where near power.Originally Posted by Eric Cartman wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 13:51
I completely agree. I think the SNP are toxic.
Their policies are great (if affordable), and they do accord broadly with Labour principles.
However, they unashamedly want the break up of the United Kingdom, and being associated with that will really damage Labour.
I think Labour have been in the ascendency on this campaign so far, but I think that may change now.
Any alliance, formal or informal with a party that wants to see the end of the UK will not be acceptable to a lot of people.
for some balance it does seem to worry a lot of my english friends, english nationism is a slow burnerOriginally Posted by Eric Cartman wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 13:51
however, i stand by the assertion that they really dont want power, it would put them in a hot seat they really have no need for.Originally Posted by Croesy Blue wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 13:49

If Scotland goes then it's just Northern Ireland, Wales and England left as 'rump UK' - and Northern Ireland, which has closer ties to Scotland than England in some respects, seems little more than an abstract concept for many of us.Originally Posted by packerman wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 14:20
Well I am not Scottish and don't wish the UK to break up.Originally Posted by The Penguin wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 14:41
thats the point i am making, despite Labours immigration policies over the last decade and more the majority of people in England are still English. THey might see this, and hear UKIP ranting, and think, "enough is enough"Originally Posted by Eric Cartman wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 14:52

It may work for them - who knows - but if it does it will be Plan Z by Crosby and the Tory high command, as every other cunning plan they have tried this election has flopped.Originally Posted by packerman wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 15:01
And I think that is a very valid observation.Originally Posted by jon1959 wrote on Tue, 21 April 2015 15:19
They crashed the economy and created a cost of borrowing crisis, when they maxed out the countries credit card. Anyone who is willing to forgive Labour for that cock up, is the sort who would give the likes of Savile another chance to work with children.Originally Posted by bluebirds over....... wrote on Mon, 20 April 2015 22:54
All the UK wide parties urged Scotland to remain within the UK and promised them more power. They cannot complain if Scottish people then use that power. It is called democracy. If there is an SNP landslide it will not be the case that some loonie lefties have taken over, it will be the case that a huge chunk of the UK has chosen to democratically elect a progressive party.
Let's be honest here, people do not fear the people of Scotland having a say in Westminster, they fear a progressive party that is interested in people rather than the interests of capital having a say in Westminster. I find the prospect of the SNP pulling a Labour government to the left rather exciting.
