I never said withdrawal from NATO and the EU were official SNP policy John, but after we become an independent nation EVERYTHING is on the table. It is up to the politicians who are elected to government to present policies which will be acceptable to the Scottish people, In all probability it will be a Scottish Labour/SNP coalition.

I don't believe we can put the whole shambles down to stupidity.
The removal of the dictators Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, and the Egyptian guy who's name escapes me,opened up the whole fundamentalist
can of worms, yet we move into a coalition with the worst dictatorships in the Middle East, people who have been funding the decapitators for years....Ludicrous indeed.
