Subject: RE: BS: electing a new labour leader
We voted against independence.

The idea of the outcome making independence a done deal is delusional to say the least. I suppose if you took away the many families relying on income from their work at the military bases including Trident, the whole BP economy of Aberdeen and the financial institutions of the central belt, you might have just about swayed it the other way.

Except you'd be arguing how to distribute the bags of rice from flown in UN charter flights and NGO aid workers.

Anyway. Read the SNP stuff from the referendum properly. "Negotiate" is all over the NATO and Trident promises. They know Scotland is too strategically placed for NATO to lose it. They'd need the income too.

Still. I'd happily vote SNP other than their pipe dream. They are a liberal party whose slogan is Prosperity through Equality. Very laudable and the exact opposite of what some shallow fools think they stand for.

Labour? I'll worry about such things when and if we move back to England.
