If we want to commit national suicide we can hardly blame them for wanting out. I don't get why Labour is so keen to get into bed with the SNP and let them have another referendum in return for their support, it's very short sighted. There are 59 Westminster seats in Scotland at the last GE the SNP won 35, Tories 13, Lib Dems 4 and Labour 7. It was a bit of a freak result for the Tories and a really bad one for Labour. The seats in Scotland historically swing between SNP and Labour. If the SNP get their independence then that takes 59 seats out of the equation a far bigger potential loss for Labour than the Tories. Even if Labour don't increase their vote the SNP won't side with the Tories so no downside for Labour. I know it's coming up to Christmas but Turkey's voting and all that?

A new coalmine in Cumbria has been given the green light by the government in the same week that the Treasury launched a review into how the UK can end its contribution to global heating. A coalmine. -.-'

Edited by Badger11 (03 Nov 2019 12.46pm) It’s an interesting point. It could be a gamble he thinks worth taking; if Scotland voted against it then the SNP conceivably become a bit less appealing and Labour would likely regain those votes. My impression is that independence is largely a heart v head question in that even those who would vote for it concede the financial implications are too serious. [Link]

How will the new coal mine get its energy. Solar powered. The mines were closed because they were state run and losing absolute fortunes. It was cheaper to ship coal in than dig it out ourselves. With the correct filtration coal power can be a lot cleaner and efficient and somewhat safer to get out of the ground. Not totally but miners choose their career. That is probably why it is back on the table.
