Only 19 Labour MPs voted for the anti Trident motion brought up by the SNP/PC/Greens. 6 of these were Scottish MPs voting against the wishes of the Scottish people http://newsnet.scot/2015/01/trident-renewal-opposed-60-scots-says-snp-poll/ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B73ftahCEAAL3Xx.jpg MP Brian Donohoe made a fool of himself by stating that Russian subs are going up the Clyde at present. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Tl27CaGmMaY&x-yt-ts=1421782837&x-yt-cl=84359240 |

Exactly based on fantasy a bit like the one that Scotland can do well outside of the £Sterling Zone. It is always foolish to vote for the unknown and just live in hope as Salmond would have you do. Unbuckling Scotland from England will have huge costs for Scotland and could result in its, Scotland's demise, you really do not understand how quickly the FS Sector in Edinburg could become a ghost town and the depth that Scotland is dependent of long established cross border business where the seat of power is not north of the border. Scotland is a long way from the commercial and industrial centre of gravity, it is not a Denmark bordering on it's main customer Germany, and it is only oil and public spending that sustains it. Is there not something about shooting the golden goose that does not give pause for thought? |

You would do well to realise that Britain is not governed by the opinion polls of small minorities such as the Scots. Like you I regret that a majority of the Scots voted to stay in the Union but unfortunately only 45% of the Tartan Turkeys voted for Christmas. I am far more interested in protecting the democratic rights of the majority through English Devolution, than in playing fast and loose with the defence of Britain. |

Maybe, maybe NOT, after all, 'Labour' is the party caught in the TORY headlights, scared to even move for fear of moving or speaking without putting their feet in it. For some reason, I keep thing of 'rabbits'.

Focus Groups are very important to the parties but opinion polls are also used, sometimes funded by an individual party. It was rather obviously a single issue survey. I agree that nuclear weapons would not come high on the agenda of most people. However it was a poll relating to peoples view on Trident and 60% said get the moissiles out of Scotland. |
