[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I'd probably already be moving to Scotland - in preparation for the Conservatives winning the next General Election, which will certainly lead to a successful referedum by the SNP to declare independence. But at present the figures don't add up as to whether an independent Scotland would be able to maintain its current levels of social spending. Plus we just spent £30K re-doing our house, and the way prices are dropping this is not the time to sell. Incidentally Labour just lost a really safe seat in a by-election in Scotland, with the SNP overturning a 13,000 majority. That's the 3rd Labour by-election defeat in 9 weeks. Those Tory fucks are going to get in again, I just know it. And I see a lot of younger people who don't remember how awful it was last time putting their faith in the Conservatives. They honestly think that they will abandon ID cards, 42-day internment etc. "because they're libertarians." They need to get real - no government ever willingly gives up its powers or ways fo controlling people. And once they're in - it's (Tory) business as usual: cutting health care, school spending, etc., all paid for by tax cuts which benefit only the richest. It'll be a dsiaster, and I don't know how far they'll go - they were genuinely shocked when they lost in 1997, regarding themselves as the "natural party of government" (translation: we deserve to rule because we're best at it (translation: we deserve to rule because we're better than you)), Christ knows what they'll do to avoid having another shock like that again. . .
