THE First Minister shocked political rivals by suggesting that a parliament with stronger powers could unilaterally declare an end to the Union without the need for a vote.
“There are a number of political opportunities coming up. For many, many years, a referendum route wasn’t the chosen route of the Scottish National Party or Scotland. " "For many years, there was a gradual attitude to independence. "That is to say that you establish a parliament and you establish successively more powers until you have a situation where you’re independent in all but name, and then presumably you declare yourself to be independent.
The SNP could not care less about the people of Scotland. Trying to destroy democracy.

I am glad i voted against these people, these comments reaffirm my decision not to vote yes to bring in this would be Dictator. As i said before in another thread, his friendship with Rupert Murdoch always bother me and his true face is beginning to show.

I think you're biased.
Alex Salmond had conceded defeat last week, and even applauded the high turnout for the democratic elections. He isn't trying to destroy democracy, and it is foolhardy to even suggest so.
He is correct in stating that a strong and technically independent parliament could declare sovereignty. Really, who is to stop them? Would England march up to the borders and attempt war in trying to keep them in the union? Will they just rebuild Hadrian's wall?
What is the point of remaining in a union if a nation is technically independent? That is what Salmond is saying, and that is what he means when he says that an independent parliament could technically declare sovereignty.

He suggested overriding Democracy not me, did you read his words?
Who is to stop a Holyrood declaring sovereignty? What about the people that voted NO! You know in a Democratic vote.
I must admit, i knew the YES voters had strong feeling's, but to stick up for a man and a party that is openly discussing destroying the Democratic process has shocked me!!!

Actually its the yes people that will destroy Scotland.
How would Scotland survive in a currently harsh and unforgiving world?
Your only hope would be joining the EU and then you would have Brussels calling the shots not Westminster.
You can certainly say goodbye to free prescriptions and free uni.
