    I don't disagree about the UK election but the question was solely about Scotland mainly as i was thinking about the promise to scrap Trident which is said will bring more than a billion in savings. It's a very attractive proposition but are all the parties that are likely to win an election in favour of that? I'm not actually trying to make any point here - just interested - or bloody nosy depedning on your view point.

    A vote for either campaign is a vote for less than a 100 per cent of the truth.

    Well, the SNP have a majority and are in power until 2016 at the least so it's up to them. You could say that voting Yes is giving the Scottish Government the mandate to scrap Trident. The SNP, the Greens and others have put scrapping Trident as part of their reasons to vote Yes so if the people of Scotland decide to go independent then it should go ahead.

    The only other party likely to win an election in Scotland in the near future is Scottish Labour and if they decided to keep Trident it would be political suicide.

    I'd imagine the SNP will have that covered, too many jobs and too massive an issue.

    horrendous hypocrisy.

    You'd think...

    But I don't think they've given too much consideration to those who will lose their jobs ...unless they want to relocate.

    Not sure...it's a vote winner, no need to think about the consequences or for the people who will have to leave Scotland.

    Is this a guess or has it been discussed?

    Genuine question.
