Hey girls, maybe national service is a better idea than I originally thought. Plenty of countries have it, including some that the nationalists use as a beacon of light. A number of European countries, including Sweden, Norway and Denmark, already have a form of conscription for their armed forces. Conscription requires young men and women to serve for a limited time in uniform.

I heard that the latest opinion polls shows that Labour will have a majority in Scotland with the SNP losing a considerable amount of seats which will put an end to the this fairy tale that some will not let go despite having the opportunity in the last democratic vote. I wonder if this comes to fruition what the bitter element in the SNP, continually shouting about lies etc, will come up with after their pumped at the polls?   

There will never be another referendum if we  all think as you do. Either not believing in Scotland's ability to fend for itself, (which you kind of let it be known by calling us "a region"), or deciding that we cannot force the issue. I can assure you that, if we have belief and if we choose to voice that belief, we can and will get the choice once more. We might not be in the EU as it stands but that is not the only reason for the referendum being called. IF enough vote for the change, even if the blue, or red tories decide to block our route to choose I believe that pressure could be put to turn that decision. We would not be the first nation to separate from the so called British Empire. We would have just as much right to do so if it is the will of the people. If this was not the case, the unionists would not be trying every underhanded trick in the book to stop the SNP.
