Nicola Sturgeon could be next British PM
Yes, you read that right
http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.co...land-1-4316088 makes sense. England is a country in tatters right now. Xenophobic Muslim-racists shooting themselves in the head, having to choose between "Austerity £995 trousers" May and "unshaven socialist Corbyn". Scotland is a thriving paradise, I visited Edinburgh a few weeks ago, people just getting on with their lives, free art galleries and museums, people of all cultures wandering around, free prescriptions, more and more care workers getting the National Living Wage, and excellent tram and transport systems. I think English people fed up of the May (Trump) and Corbyn (Clinton) choice and who are still a bit annoyed at Lib Dems and who don't quite agree fully with Greens (despite them being the best choice) may celebrate the arrival of a new party standing for the people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZAmhB55_-k |

LOL. SNP candidates in England and Wales would require a wholesale change in what the SNP is all about and the last GE showed there was no desire for a coalition government with the SNP in it.

She currently leads a nation whose total population is about the same size as that of Greater London. Precisely how will she leap from that to being PM of the UK?
That's 1.5x the population of Scotland. As for the OP's comment about Scotland being a thriving paradise, sure IMHO it's a pretty good place to live, but so are some parts of Englandshire. And like everywhere, there are some places in Edinburgh and Scotland that are hell-holes. I think Nicola for Queen would be a better option !! |

Visit Govanhill in Nicola's constituency, then come back and respond. You'll be wondering why Scotland is so pro EU after visiting there.

LOL they stand no chance south of the border. Why would any of the 56 million people in England and Wales vote for a party that will put 5 million people in the north ahead of you every single time? People want to vote for someone who will protect their own interests, not somebody else's.

I guess in the same way that Theresa May became PM without any experience at all of running a nation! Not that I think it would happen.

Yes, and what we need is a bitter diversive Scot leading a nationalistic party full of English hating xenophobes leading us into poverty.

Scotland is no utopia believe me, in fact it is an utter disaster at the moment.
The SNP will never be the leading political party in the UK. They won't in Scotland for long. |

Lot of people in England would vote for a party that wanted to make Scotland independent
