Scotland in the last month?? The entire United Kingdom over the period of the last two years has been subjected to highly damaging and unnecessary upheaval and uncertainty on a whim promoted by a minority in Scotland. There was absolutely nothing "hopeful" about it - The Scottish Independence Referendum - a complete and utter waste of time, money and resources.

For your sake I do earnestly hope that one day "The Greens" will eventually come up with something that is vaguely sensible that doesn't cost anybody their job and that meets the demands required by society.

Fracking? "Though energy policy is an area reserved to the UK government under the Scotland Act 1998 that established devolved government for Scotland, the Scottish Government has an energy policy for Scotland at variance with UK policy, and has planning powers to enable it to put some aspects of its policy priorities into effect."

Sorry but I thought that the SNP were all for fracking in order to boost the country's income from fossil fuels - ask the members of the N56 Business Body Committee that Jowly & Co., were so keen on quoting.

"Continued Austerity" - By that are you referring to the "not-so-drastic" measures that had to be implemented by the Coalition Government in 2010 to get the country out of the shit left as usual by the outgoing Labour Government? The "not-so-drastic" measures that have managed to turn the economy round and has given the UK the best economic growth figures in the western world? Our current leaders are actually in fact leading and do not seem overly preoccupied in winning a popularity contest - but there again government is about leadership and about being able to follow through on tough decisions made for the good of the nation as a whole (Government is about looking out for the national interest - we citizens are responsible for looking after ourselves).

"Trident" - The majority of people want it - live with it - it is the only thing that actually defends our country and guarantees our freedom and sovereignty.

"Endless Wars"?? What endless wars?? The UK has not been engaged in a war since 1945.
