MINIMUM ALCHOL PRICE PROPOSALS - EXPOSE SCOTTISH LABOUR AS OUT OF TOUCH. The Scottish Labour Party have done nothing in 30 years to curb Scotland's drinking problems, they used to agree with the principal of minimum pricing on alcohol, but never implemented any drink restriction laws whilst in power. The SNP government, who are addressing the issues of the people of Scotland, have proposed minimum pricing and restricted point of sale for alcohol, similar to the sale of tobacco in supermarkets (i.e. not at super market checkouts).
Since this proposal the Scottish Labour Party have opposed the proposals, whilst the Labour Party at Westminster are now strongly considering imposing the same minimum alcohol pricing laws nationwide. Exposing the Scottish Labour Party for being out of touch with the Scots and the London Labour Party. More on the Labour Parties bad attitude towards SNP policies, that they eventually try an copy.
The Copenhagen summit has not delivered enough as the "Champions of Green Energy - Scotland" were NOT ALLOWED TO SEND ANY SCOTTISH POLITICIANS.
YES Scotland was not allowed to officially send any SCOTTISH MP's of the Scottish Devolved Government to this Summit on all our futures.
Which is pathetic considering Scotland (World leaders in wind energy) has the capacity of creating enough green energy to supply a quarter of Europe. Scotland also has the cash to continue this green revolution if it was in control of its North Sea oil and gas revenues. If Scotland was Independent the rest of the UK may seriously consider the sense of building 11 new nuclear power stations. More information on Scotland's Green energy revolution.

ST ANDREWS DAY - NOVEMBER 30 2009 - Plans announced for a vote on Scottish independence
The SNP present a white paper on an Independence Referendum which has four options for the Scots to vote on.
One is the status quo. Another is
full independence. A third is based
on the report of the Calman commission. The fourth option called devo-max is based on the Edinburgh parliament and government taking control over everything except defence, foreign policy and macroeconomics. It would keep the pound, the British army and the Queen. Read the white paper
When North Sea Oil was discovered in the waters of Scotland and Norway in the late 1960's. Norway a Independent Nation smaller than Scotland with worst maritime weather than Scotland reaped the benefit of being in sole control of their oil revenues. Read the full story on Norway's success story
Today 30 years after the oil started coming ashore Norway has created £259 Billion sovereign wealth fund. If Scotland had become Independent shortly after the rigged devolution referendum of 1979 Scotland would have accumulated a similiar fund that would have easily covered the UK's £175bn budget deficit.
Unfortunatley Whitehall, The London Labour Unionist Party and the Queen imposed a ruling that 40% of the electrorate must vote yes. This unheard of rule was both unjust and un heard of and has never been imposed before or since the 1979 Scottish devolution referendum. This ruling meant that more than a 80% turn out at the polls if the election was close which it was.
Maybe Norway will buy Scotland's share of Gordon Brown debt some of it sovereign wealth fund (which is more than 4 times our share of the Labour Parties debt) in exchange for an allegiance with Independent Scotland in supplying the Europe not only Oil and Gas but green energy from wave and wind power. In partnership with Norway Scotland could re build its heavy manufacturing base like the Norweigans. NORTH EAST BY ELECTION - DATE SET FOR 12TH NOVEMBER 2009
The 2009 Glasgow North East by-election is due to take place on 12 November 2009.
So now we’ve had two Scottish by-elections in twelve months with suspected electoral fraud. And, if true, both perpetrated by the same party running the government of the United Kingdom.
It emerged last night that police were called to two polling stations, St Dennis's and Alexandra Parade, yesterday, after voters arriving to cast their ballot were told their names had already been crossed off. The ballot boxes were handed over to the police, but the disputed ballots were still counted last night. Officials at Glasgow City Council said only three ballot papers were involved.
If things are as bad as they seem, Glasgow NE may turn out to be another Glenrothes, surely the most single minded act of political will in history. In case you have forgotten: a year ago, and with no assistance from any political party activists whatsoever, the good people of Glenrothes painstakingly filled out nearly 6,000 postal voting forms in the privacy of their own homes before carefully mailing them at their nearest letter box personally. The post office then conscientiously delivered them by normal mail to be counted on election day in the counting room. And, rather than reflecting the same spread of votes for all the parties reflected at the polling stations, every single one of them was for Labour.
Humbled by the unanimity of the Glenrothes postal voters’ rejection, the SNP chose not to make a legal challenge at the time, thereby avoiding the accusation of sour grapes.
Or it may have been because the marked-up electoral register from the by-election went mysteriously ‘missing’ and, lacking a record of who had actually voted, it would have taken too long to prove what had happened and by which time nobody would have cared. Over a year since the by-election, it has still not been reconstructed.
The point is this: the SNP suspected Labour of massive electoral fraud at Glenrothes, but the hard evidence went missing.
Fast forward six months to May this year. The Commons Speaker Michael Martin resigns for expenses irregularities, and Glasgow is due another by-election. Having already proved that they could unseat Labour in Glasgow East in 2008, the SNP could afford to lose it. There was less to be gained from winning such a by-election at all costs, six months out from a UK general election in which Labour are facing annihilation. With Gordon Brown expected to hang on for as long as possible, an SNP victory would not have brought this day one second closer.
Think about it. In the coming UK election, the head of Scottish Labour – the present UK Government – will be removed from its shoulders regardless of how many seats the SNP wins at Westminster in May. After the election, UK Labour will be an irrelevance, regardless of how many seats it has on the opposition benches.
And regardless of whether London is ‘dancing to a Scottish jig’ or ‘hung by a Scottish rope’ after May 2010 – even if the SNP wins every single Scottish seat in Westminster – Scotland would still be no nearer getting its referendum over the line. In fact, if the SNP starts calling the shots in a hung Tory government, the present constitutional arrangement may well start to look remarkably beneficial for Scotland.
Which might make it preferable for many to independence.
So, what am I saying? That the SNP deliberately threw the Glasgow NE by-election?
No. But they did certainly did not throw everything at it.
Until independence, the SNP main game will be the referendum. It needs four things for it to succeed: a Holyrood budget to fund it, the parliament to allow it to happen, a cleaned-up electoral system for a fair run at it and, of course, the political will of the Scottish people to vote for it.
When the Glasgow NE By-election was called, SNP was faced with a dilemma: fight Labour tooth and nail for several grueling months for a by-election that changes nothing, or put up a high profile candidate with enough credibility to once more draw out Labour’s suspected electoral fraud machine, which would be mobilised to make damn sure Labour did not lose its second safest seat.
The SNP strategists knew Labour would fight dirty. A hard-won by-election would have sapped the SNP of funds with no return on investment other than being one voice louder on Westminster’s opposition benches for the next six months. In the event, Salmond chose to keep his powder dry for the referendum, running a by-the-numbers by-election and saving party funds for when it mattered. David Kerr was the bait and Labour took it.
Kerr should feel no sense of shame or failure for how he performed. He may even be aware of why he was running. He is certainly no fool.
In the event, Labour won by 8,111 votes over the SNP’s 4,120. The irony being that electoral fraud – if indeed it was committed – was unnecessary, and Labour might have still won had they chosen to campaign cleanly. Or, at least, by only telling outright lies and utter fabrications about the SNP record in Glasgow.
So what was the point of all this?
The Scottish Government desperately wants to clean up the Scottish electoral system before the referendum on independence. However long it takes. With the evidence now gathered from possibly the second fraudulent by-election in twelve months, steps can now be taken to neutralise Labour’s suspected electoral fraud machine in Scotland.
Unless another marked-up electoral register going missing.
2009 SEPTEMBER 30 - THE SUN NEWSPAPER HAS STOPPED BACKING LABOUR, but ....
The Sun Newspaper have dumped the Labour Party Whether this is a publicity stunt to attempt to sell more newspapers or the Sun newspaper feels it needs to back political winners. The fact that the Scottish Sun have said they will not back the Conservatives, unlike the English edition, would suggest the winners in Scotland will be the SNP. Who knows maybe the Sun will once again back the SNP like they did in the 1980's.
The decision is a fitting reaction to the Labour Parties biggest liability, which is it's track record of spin, secrets, lies and deceit. Which is a culture born out of Unionist politics. read more

2009 JULY 22 - THE GLASGOW NORTH EAST BY-ELECTION WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL NOVEMBER Labour was accused of "running scared" of voters for leaving Glasgow residents without an MP for at least another four months by refusing to trigger the Parliamentary mechanism needed for an election. Stewart Hosie, the party's chief whip, said: "Labour have had every single opportunity to call this by-election. They are running scared of the people of Glasgow North East." Read More
THE Scottish National Party's seven MPs will submit their expense claims to independent audit and abide by the outcome, Scotland's First Minister said today.
Mr Salmond said the SNP MPs will also publish details on the party website – within three months – of additional-cost allowance claims for the last year.
Speaking at the launch of the SNP's European election campaign, Mr Salmond said any claims by SNP MPs deemed to be wrong will be "gladly returned".
"I am pretty confident we will find the SNP MPs emerge from this in a strong position," he said.
"But the best way to test that is to have that independent audit."
2009 JUNE 26 - SNP WIN ANGUS COUNCIL BY ELECTION Nationalist candidate Jean Lee won by massive majority. Labour did not stand in the poll after realising to late that their candidate was ineligible because he did not live
in the county !!! The name of Scottish leader Iain Gray is also misspelled in the pamphlet
However on closer anaylsis of previous GERs report the figures have deliberately been suppressed by Unionist parties. These in-accuracies add up to quite a lot.
2009 JUNE 15 - UNIONST - CALMAN COMMISSION URGE THAT HOLYROOD SHOULD TAKE CHARGE OF HALF THE INCOME TAX RAISED IN SCOTLAND.
As the number of tax payers has and is going to fall due to Labours disgraceful management of the Credit Crunch.
The Unionist's intend cutting £5 Billion from the Scottish Budget and expect the Scottish Government to make it up from Scottish tax payers who can manage to hold on to their jobs.
When Westminster impose the Billions to be cut from the Scottish Budget in the years to come, it will mean the loss of NHS and Government jobs. Making it even harder for the Scottish Government to make up the £5 Billion slashed from the Scottish budget.
This £5 Billion figure is based on the current working population, not the working population after the full effects of the credit crunch and government spending cuts announced on the 23rd of April 2009 by Jim Murphy come into place.
On the same day, Westminster announce credit crunch plans to increase Scotland's North Sea Oil production by 20% adding another £2.6 Billion onto revenues that London takes away from Scotland, which was £13 Billion in 2007.
Therefore the plundering of Scotland's VAST Oil and Gas Revenues will increase to over £15 Billion. Nearly 50% of Scotland Current Budget
The solution is simply vote for SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCEand a budget of in excess of £45 Billion not the Unionist's slap in the face reduced £25 Billion budget.
The
UKIP are doing very well in this European Election with their simple message
"It costs the 60 million population of the UK £40 Million a Day to be in European Union".
If it was not for the controlled media in the UK the SNP could get a similar message out
"It costs the 5 million population of SCOTLAND £32 Million a Day to be in the UK Union"
It would cost an Independent Scotland £3.33 million a day to be in the European Union, based on population. This is less than a tenth of the money we generous Scot's give to London, lock stock and barrel. A sum of money which is in excess of £32 Million a day. It currently costs the entire United Kingdom £40 Million a day to be part of the European Union.
After Scotland became Independent there would be a Scottish General Election at this point there is high possiblity of Scot's also being asked if the want to remain in the European Union.

2009 JUNE 5 - SNP make gains in Anniesland - Drumchapel / Coatbridge North - Glenboig Council By-Elections
Labour and the media are trying to spin the gaining of 2 SNP council by-election seats in labour heartlands as a victory.
The results tell a different story, especially considering that if these elections had been conducted under the original STV (Single Transferable Vote) system, the number of SNP councillors in these wards would have increased.
In 2007 by-election, there was a swing of about 8%-10% to the SNP, and this has just been followed by a further swing of around 8%.
Scottish Independence may not sit well with you? However Scottish representation in the Europe Parliament, should be undertaken by representatives of Scotland National Party opposed to Westminster, London, England, loyal politicians from the other big parties.
It would cost an Independent Scotland £3.33 million a day to be in the European Union, based on population. This is less than a tenth of the money we generous Scot's give to London, lock stock and barrel. A sum of money which is in excess of £32 Million a day. It currently costs the entire United Kingdom £40 Million a day to be part of the European Union.
2009 JUNE 2 - Alistair Darling is left to dangle after fumbling his own expenses
Three times Gordon Brown was given the chance yesterday to assure Alistair Darling of his future as Chancellor. Three times he declined. read rest of the story
Like the nobles of Ancient Scotland who were given riches, titles and land in England to keep them from uprising against the genocide the English were inflicting upon the Scottish People; many Scottish MP's from the Labour, Liberal and Conserative Parties are rich in salary and expenses that have been unjustly and in some case fraudlant claimed using a system set up by Westminster to allow greedy MP's claim expenses from the tax payer, without the tax payer knowing how much they were actually getting paid. Congratulation to the Telegraph Newspaper !
Is this a fair wage for supressing the Scottish People and the Nationalists, just incase the people of Scotland should see the light of Independence and claim the fortune that passes Scotland and its people by every day.
Scottish North Sea Oil and Gas Revenues are in excess of £32 Million a day just about the same as it costs (£40 million a day) the entire United Kingdom to be in European Union.
2009 04 23 - Scottish Budget Cuts
Scottish Budget Cuts 2009 Considering Mr Murphy's view that the Scottish Government should behave like a Scottish family and tighten its belts etc, we think that it should be said that; No sane sensible Scottish family could substantiate giving all of their salary to their neighbour only to beg for the scraps from their table for sustenance!!!
Scottish budget to be cut by £0.5 Billion. While Scotland's North Sea Oil production is to be increased by 20% adding another £2.6 Billion onto revenues that London TAKE AWAY from Scotland, which was £13 Billion in 2007. This year the Scottish Budget of £33.3 Billion is calculated using the Barnet Formula which gives, back a proportion of "non oil & gas taxes" raised in Scotland. In a Independent Scotland the available money for a budget would be a minimum of £49.5 Billion, when Scottish Oil and Gas revenues are added. This figure is not including the massive revenues from Scottish renewable energy and the industries renewable energy will attract to Scotland, the billions saved from ditching Trident and all the taxes raised in Scotland not just some of them. Scottish Labour Party S...p, should distance themselves from their London Labour Party Shepherds, before the Conservatives get in.

Aliaster Darling plans incentives for North Sea Oil exploration so the UK Treasury can make another £2.6 Billion out of Scotland - whilst also planning to cut Scotland's Budget by £1 Billion.
The UK Government is so far in debt. Alistair Darling plans incentives to aid North Sea oil production. The SNP have been asking for this modest investment since 2004. To increase Scotland's North Sea Oil production by 20%. Which is an additional £2.6 Billion of Scotland's money. As current oil revenues are about £13 Billion this would increase to £15.6 Billion per annumn. As reported on the first page of the Scotland on Sunday 19 04 2009
However in the virtually the same breath Alistair Darling will cut Scotland's budget by £1 Billion. "What a cheeky monkey Mr Darling is" This is proof that the UK Treasury is so dependent on Scotland's Oil Revenue.

SNP Conference 2009 - We've Got What it Takes
Alex Salmond pointed out that America had the right idea of devoting billions to every American State to create and protect jobs to enable them to counter the Credit Crunch. However the Labour Party wants to help Scotland by cutting one Billion from the Scottish Budget! Even with the limited budget Westminster allows Scotland Alex Salmond pledges £95m for economic recovery in Scotland. The SNP also outlined plans for building a green energy future for Scotland. Alex Salmond is to announce the creation of tens of thousands of new training places to help Scotland out of recession.

Westminsters strips Scotland of it financial asset- as proven by Dunfermline Building Society. It is blatantly obvious that Gordon Brown, the London Westminster based Labour party are striping Scotland of its Financial Assets as proven by ignoring the more infoLets have an inquest If Scotland had been a Independent Nation, it would have been highly likely that the Scottish Govenment would have questioned banking policies, as banking is one of Scotland's largest industries. They would have probably have asked the banks to protect themselves and their customers by seperating investment banking from retail banking. It would also probably have asked Scotland's big bank's to review their easy lending policies as much of its lending would still have been done South of the border.

Reports that the Calman Commission is looking to possibly reverse powers over energy consenting so that either the current Labour or a future Conservative UK Government can build nuclear power stations in Scotland against a Scottish Parliamentary majority is definitely irking many this morning, not least of which the First Minister.
Only the Tories and Labour support nuclear power in Scotland. Every other party in the Scottish Parliament is against the expansion of civil nuclear power. So will the Lib Dems sign up to this?
Just last week SoS trumpeted that Scots would rather have nuclear power than pay more through their bills for renewables (which they are currently doing with no complaint). The SoS said:

Scottish Labour allow Scotland's Largest constituency to be run from London
LABOUR has suspended constituency business in East Lothian because of a row surrounding attempts to deselect the MP Anne Moffat.
The development could potentially be an embarrassment for Labour's newly elected Scottish leader, Iain Gray, who is the MSP for East Lothian.
Members of Labour's National Executive Committee (NEC) are due to visit the constituency next week in a bid to resolve the dispute over Ms Moffat. Until further notice, Scotland's largest constituency party will be run from London. This shows that there is no such thing as the Scottish Labour Party and it has never existed. full story
2008 11 06In one of Scotland's safest Labour seats, the SNP have gained 4478
supporters since 2005 in this area. 13% up - an overall 8.16% swing to the SNP or a 4.96% swing to the SNP from Labour.
Labour have managed to hold onto the Bannockburn by election (a safe Labour seat with a 10k majority in 2005) by 551 more votes than they had in 2005.
This victory can be put down to the fact that, Gordon Brown and his Brown Bounce has been hailed "for the moment" as the leading figure in World Wide credit crunch politics, a credit crunch caused by the banking industry that, Gordon Brown de-regulated. However the coming recession in the Britain is being forecast as the worst amongst in the developed world.
This victory could also be put down to the global credit crunch and the failure of Icelandic banks and HBOS and RBS. The unfair spin that Labour has made over comments made by Alex Salmond's in 2005 on the arc of prosperity
in Independent Countries like Norway, Ireland and Iceland. An arc of prosperity that did exist until the global banking crisis, when the non oil producing Iceland and Ireland did suffer in the crisis. Unlike Norway.
Other aspects that contributed to this result is the timing of the election, leaving the votes only 42 days to register to vote. The fact that Prime Minister Gordon Brown broke political convention by campaigning in this a local by election and also sent his wife Sarah Brown to do the same every day?
The main reason behind this victory can be put down to the fact that the Labour candidate and the entire Labour party have been miss leading, "scaremongering" campaigning on local issues (non Westminster based), like home care, (that only affects around 200 people in the area). This is bordering on dishonesty.

2008 09 03 - SNP announce plans to abolish Council Tax and change licensing laws
The SNP announced a fair 3p in the pound local income tax to replace the unfair council tax. This would help 85,000 Scot's get out of poverty by saving the average Scottish family between £350 and £535 a year. The 3% tax would only be £30 for every £1000 you earn. However ministers in Westminster London vowed to axe the £400m in council tax benefits currently paid to Scottish taxpayers if the changes go ahead. (yet another Westminster injustice against the Scottish People) Read the full story.
Will the local income tax cost youmore money than the unfair council tax. Remember this fair local income tax will take 85,000 Scot's out of poverty. This tax also means the abolishment of business rates in Scotland.

The SNP has tonight selected its candidate for the Bannockburn by election. He is Peter Grant, the leader of Fife Council.
Labour is having difficulty finding a candidate to fight this by-election. So far, three leading candidates have said thanks, but no thanks.
* Henry McLeish (ex-MP and MSP in Fife and First Minister).
* Christine May (ex-MSP for the area, lost her seat in 2007).
* Alex Rowley (Labour leader on Fife Council, ex-Secretary of the Labour Party in Scotland, and a Brown protege - think Douglas Alexander and add an extra "Fife" dimension).
