Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Scotland being independent. That's fine. If Scotland don't want to be part of the UK any more then fine, as far as I can tell they never wanted to be part of the UK in the first place and they've fought in various ways for independence for 400 years. What gets me annoyed is that Gordon Brown piles millions, billions even, of pounds of taxpayers money into the Scottish economy, leading to deficits for English and Welsh projects. If Scotland want to be independent so much then why can't Brown simply let it happen and make Scotland a new country seperate to the rest of the UK. And then they can sustain themselves from their own taxes, recieving only small subsidies for a time from us while they set things up and then leave them to sustain themselves like any other country.
Brown is incompetent. There's no denying that. I vote Conservative, but even then I don't agree with all of the Tory policies and see that although things are moving forward there is still a degree of upper-clss elitism among the Tories. I vote for them because they're the lesser of two evils. Lib Dems would be a waste of a vote, I'll commit suicide before I ever vote for the BNP, I agree with the UKIP on their policies but they don't have a realistic chance of gaining a majority in the next few years, and any other party save for Labour would be a waste of a vote. So Conservative it is. But Brown is not a good leader. We may have seen worse, but he just isn't doing a good job in general, and the massive no confidence crisis a couple of years ago just confirmend this. And we didn't elect him either, which makes it even worse. When Blair stepped down a General Election should have been called straight away so the public could decide who they wanted to take power. Brown was a great Chancellor, but when he became PM things went downhill. Granted much of that was due to Blair, and Brown had to do the best he could in a bad situation, but he failed, and since then things have only gotten worse.
P.S. Sorry for the huge Wall'O'Text, but there was a lot I wanted to get into my post, not to mention the quotes.
