WHO WOULD WE WANT AS HEAD OF STATE IN AN INDEPENDENT SCOTLAND?

WHO WOULD WE WANT AS HEAD OF STATE IF WE WERE INDEPENDENT?

I am going to put up a poll for this and would like some suggestions from you.  Would the position be hereditary like our present Royal Family? Would someone be invited by a panel of the GREAT and GOOD. Would we have an ELECTION?


WHO COULD THE CANDIDATES BE?

I propose for discussion the following:

H.M. THE QUEEN
PRINCESS ANNE
PRINCE CHARLES
THE FIRST MINISTER AT THE TIME
AN ELECTED PRESIDENT, INDEPENDENT OF THE PARTY POLITIC
SEAN CONNERY
BILLY CONNELLY
ANN GLOAG
LORD FOULKES (just kidding)
Who else in your opinion would make a WORTHWHILE HEAD of STATE?

STOP PRESS

NOMINATIONS SO FAR- NONE, EVERYONE, RAB C. NESBETT, BILLY CONNELLY, ELECTED HEAD OF STATE, QUEEN, LORRAINE KELLY.
(I'm beginning to think you Bastards are taking the pish)

ANYMORE BEFORE IT GOES UP?

E.C. TO BAN RETURNS OF GOODS THAT ARE SHABBY OR DON'T WORK! (and there's fuck all we can do about it.)

A VERY ATTRACTIVE SHOPPER PICTURED YESTERDAY

EU BUREAUCRATS want to end the right of shoppers to get their money back for shoddy goods.
This would end the 100 years of protection British consumers have enjoyed. For more than a century, shops have offered refunds to people who return unwanted or faulty goods. Plans by the European Union to “harmonise” consumer law will short-change them by removing that right and weakening safeguards. Ministers have vowed to fight the Consumer Rights Directive but the UK Government has no power to stop the change if it is backed by the majority of European Union states.Worse still, if the law is passed retailers will be banned from “gold-plating” the legislation by continuing to offer money- back guarantees.


I seem to be very anti-E.C. this week. The full extent of our capitulation to the LISBON TREATY is starting to unravel, week by week.


I SAY INDEPENDENCE OUTWITH THE E.C. LIKE SWITZERLAND AND NORWAY LOOKS A GOOD BET TO ME. England can come with us if they want. The UNITED KINGDOM will no longer be UNITED so therefore according to European Law (1), ENGLAND'S STATUS is changed and they HAVE TO RE-NEGOTIATE THEIR TERMS OF MEMBERSHIP.

INDEPENDENCE IN OR OUT OF THE E.C.?

In a recent poll on the blog, I asked you the question, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING POLITICAL OPTIONS FOR SCOTLAND DO YOU SUPPORT?


Of the 86% or so who voted for independence, the majority 45%, voted for independence outwith the E.C. This surprised me as it varied greatly from the perceived model of independence as put forward by the only pro-independence party, the SNP.


But this got me thinking. DO WE REALLY WANT TO BE PART OF THE E.C.? Should we not be following the model of Norway and Switzerland, who seem to be doing very well for themselves. We will be one of the wealthiest nations in Europe with all the oil, gas and renewables our country has.

Why should we give that wealth to Europe in the same way as we have to England in the last 40 years?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
