"No denying folk voted for them SRS....it's the amount of senior cabinet ones rather than rank and file MPs I was on about...and they are chosen for high office by the serving PM no one else.

And yes I agree re the women....though I don't think they're being actively blocked from being given the opportunity when you see the amount of women only short lists from all sides of the spectrum..which incidentally I disagree with..best person for the job should get it...with nothing else taken into consideration........but that's another debate...."

No arguments with you there Muffy!

I think we should keep the union. As I am mainly Welsh with a bit of English, Scottish & Irish blood in my veins I reckon I'm a good mix, (others might beg to differ) I think we are better together.

The main problem is - Who should vote?

Should only people living in Scotland vote? What about people who live South of the Border but work in Scotland?

What about the rest of the UK who could be affected financially ( taxes etc) and who should have a say in any break up of the UK?

I could go on and on but it would just go to show what a costly Mess this is.
