I have used this thread as a platform for independence.
I'm not trying to defend the SNP. I am telling you that, though devolved, the NHS still requires funding. That funding is driven by the pocket money the UK gives Scotland. PLUS a bit MORE raised by the progressive tax revenue the SNP have delivered.
I have already indicated in this thread that I am not certain to vote for them in the upcoming Hollyrood election as I don't agree with all they've done while in "power".
The election now in progress is for a UK government. My vote will ALWAYS be for a pro national party. The ONLY one capable of delivering a majority of pro national MPs IS the SNP. If/when we get the right due to us by way of the previous TWO elections to decide our future I hope we grasp it with both hands. Then we can decide, in Scotland, for Scotland, the type of party we want to lead us.
