    John 3:16-21

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

    20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

    21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    The only political parties opposed to Scottish independence are registered and funded by another country….

    Where else is that even acceptable?

    Think about that?

    It would be very sad to see Scotland go, especially since the EU would use them like a bargaining chip with the UK. But it's up to Scots to determine their future

    The Scottish Government handed Amazon £4.7million tax payers money last year
    despite the firm paying no corporation tax on £38billion of European sales.The internet giant’s web services division
    was paid the public money and has also recently signed a 10-year NHS deal worth £15million.

    The SNP weren't "praying they could reclaim their majority", as the AMS system is designed to AVOID outright majorities. It was only ever achieved once, although since then, they have always outnumbered the Unionist parties.

    Asking the Prime Minister of England for permission to determine your country's future has to be the most pathetic and servile act imaginable. She should send an fyi memo to westminster after the referendum votes have been tallied on what the result is and what Scotland's next steps are

    7 months after the Indy ref, Scots voted in the SNP in a General Election. Does this mean that they should have had another Indy ref just because a pro independence party won the election ? Why should an Indy ref happen just because a pro independence party wins the election. Scotland was never in the E.U. the U.K. was. You can`t vote to stay in something you are not a member of.

    wtf TLDR, what are you doing? You show a piece of video, where Sturgeon has to defend herself and right after that a tory commercial! Where are the questions of the people asking that tory, what he did last year, where is the labour MSP, didn't they get some screentime to advertise themselves or weren't the donors paying for?? -1

    The list system should be scrapped it results in MSP's elected even though the electorate has repeatedly rejected them for example Annie Wells and Murdo Fraser of the Tories have stood in constituency seats 8 times each and each time they have been resoundingly beaten yet every time they get in on the list. The Single transferable vote would be better.

    Scotland should leave the UK their votes are almost useless
