Seriously, the sooner we're rid of these dreadful people the better. :-(

And will all the unemployed pissed up ones be sent back?

It's easy to give it the full Braveheart when confronted by an opinion poll, but only a relatively small percentage of Jockanese are actually full time dole-scrounging junkies; the majority must be at least occasionally sober, and will undoubtedly **** themselves when the reality dawns that they could wake up one morning living in the People's Demokratik Republik of Salmond.

...it are Tory fundamentalists and people who just plain don't like the scotch.

That said, it'd be nice if it led to a genuinely federal UK which could allow us to do away with the HoL and split the place into some decent sized states with more autonomy. It might even reignite people's interest in politics too.

(red-green) who all have their leaders go around campaigning together. All very weird.

Then you have Swedish Democarats who are the 3rd most popular party but no one wants to group up with because they consider them a bit racist. Oh and there's also Feminist Initiative :hehe:

People's Party, and Christian Democrats and they're all liberal conservatism.

They've been in power the last eight years but it looks like the social democrats will win this one.

The Swedish Democrats are nationalist and are quite popular at the minute as immigration is currently a key issue. The Swedish Democrats want to reduce it whereas the other two aren't bothered about the current levels.

citizens not a special case unlike they take up UK citizenship.

What with us being EU Citizens and all that.

You fly into Dublin you have to show a passport. Actually I flew into Heathrow last week and I cannot recall if one of your Police / Customs people asked me.

No idea how I ended up there....just woke up on one of the benches in the terminal...near the Burger King too...which was handy.

I suspect he would still be angry all the same.

the licence fee in the Republic (if there is one)?

rules apply which means Scots (at the moment) should have full rights - as well as Northern Irish - and Eireish people should have EU rights, no more and no less.

In my experience, only the Irish are happier to blame all their ills on the English.

It just gets a bit wearing.

They are not really very good at it.

In the EU :hehe: :hehe:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

If you chose to remove the right to vote in certain elections then some may be annoyed, those for example who have lived in England most of their lives. Others wouldn't give a monkeys.

I personally never chose to vote once while I lived in London so had the right to vote been taken from me I would not even have noticed.

[Mc Gooner]

FWIW, I find stupid naive stereotyping a bit tedious regardless of who it's by and aimed at.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

that the British allowed the Irish to retain those rights and that the Irish did not unilaterally abjure them.

[Classic Jorge]

The EU seems to work much better with the federal gov't structure, if anything. I mean, as opposed to our odd feudal affair.

being different from yours.

As for former - it's no obsession to have a firm opinion about something as profound as sovereignty. As I've said before, supra-nationalism is in some ways even more dangerous than nationalism.

[Classic Jorge]

Ultimately it's all down to who you'd rather just make all the decisions for you anyway.
