Plus when I was like 6 or 7 years old, he lent me £2 to play a bandit in a pub, clearly breaking the law by encouraging a minor to gamble, thus he is also a criminal and should not be allowed to stand.

EH?!??! The whole point is the SNP want to have BETTER links with the EU - at the moment we hold about as much sway in Europe as an English county, because as long as we're part of Britain, that's all we'll ever be - a glorified region of England.
I was under the impression that Labour's super-negative campaigning had failed to work for once. Do you people seriously have such a low opinion of your own country that you think breaking it from the chains of England would lead us to ruin? Have you ever stopped to think what exacly is going to cause this financial disaster? We're certainly no worse off for natural resources than any other nation of our size.
Although I've always been a staunch supporter of independence, I think the SNP have been really clever in this campaign, putting emphasis on the fact that getting them into power isn't the same as getting independence - you can vote for SNP and still want to stay in the union, it'll just be that you're voting in one of the few parties that is going to stand up for Scotland without having to answer to the London party base. Do you seriously think Jack McConnell has EVER disagreed with Tony Blair? (Not that he would actually get to speak to Blair directly when it's not the campagin trail- he probably has to go through the Secretary Of State For Scotland And At Least 5 Other Departments minister) I don't. I think we should be like Northern Ireland, where the London parties don't get a look in - can you imagine Alex Salmond and Tommy Sheridan as the main combatants in Hollyrood? It'd be the most exciting political debate EVER!
Alex Salmond has always seemed, to me, to be one fo the few honest people in politics, with a real passion for his cause. I don't know if most Scottish political broadcasters are pro-SNP, but he rarely seems to be caught out in interviews, and always manages to make a good case for his point of views. He'd be a much better First Minister than any of the useless wankers we've had so far.
I keep having Labour vs SNP arguments with my mate. It amazes me that young people today still hold any sort of respect for the London parties. We're all disillusioned with politics - SNP would be a massive fucking change, and thanks to devolution, you have the safety net of being able to vote them out next time if they do shite (which they won't) and still be a part of Britain - only then the London parties would think "shit, we're going to have to actually take NOTICE of those Jock cunts now."
