Subject: RE: BS: UK political parties for oblivion?
Sugarfoot Jack, This is not an anti English matter. You'll notice I said the inhabitants of Scotland. This means your vote would count if you lived in Scotland and were on the electoral roll. Free University education is also for the inhabitants, regardless of nationality. If Scotland and England were independent members of the EU then all people living in England could also be entitled to free University education in Scotland.
Independence would allow the people of Scotland to run Scotland, get rid of Trident, for example, and kept education etcetera free. Different countries, geographical units if you like, have different takes on matters and Scotland has shown it has progressive ideas it cannot put into practice as it cannot control its purse strings. With one Tory MP but having to put up with the coalition policies is just unfair. At least the people of England can decide their own government.
