Do you still believe that things will be the same if we vote No? Think your standard of living will be the same? Think the NHS will be free at point of source? Think our education system will be one of the best in the world? Vote No and the cuts are coming. According to recent articles in a number of papers the English electorate are not happy with the level of public spending in Scotland (perhaps they need to be made aware that per capita, the Scots are paying into the pot more than the rUK). Here are some of the main stories: The Telegraph: “If independence is rejected, large majorities of voters south of the Border support cutting Scottish public spending to the UK average and banning Scottish MPs from voting on English-only laws at Westminster. By a [...] large margin of 56 per cent to 12 per cent, the English said Scottish public spending should be cut to the UK average following a No vote.” The Times: “English voters want the government to take a hard line against Scotland even if its residents vote “no” to independence. Funding should be cut and Scottish MPs should no longer have a say over English matters, according to a survey. The findings will unsettle parties in the pro-Union campaign, who have promised a good deal for Scotland if it remains in the UK.” The Herald: “Voters south of the Border want a cut to Scottish annual public spending of almost £1,400 per person if there is a No vote.” The Scotsman: “An English backlash against Scotland’s demands for greater political power is looming, whatever the outcome of the independence referendum. Even after a No vote, people south of the Border say public spending in Scotland should be reduced to bring it into line with the UK average, which the SNP has warned could see £4 billion removed from the Scottish budget. ‘The English appear in no mood to be particularly accommodating however Scots choose to vote in their independence referendum,’ said researcher Professor Richard Wyn Jones, of Cardiff University. There is strong English support for reducing levels of public spending in Scotland to the UK average – a development that would lead to savage cuts in public services north of the Border.’” In the scrabble for votes, W.minster will have to respond to the demands of the English electorate (they dont have to worry about the Scottish electorate, we dont have suficient numbers to affect the outcome of general elections).Get angry about this, dont sit back and accept this, take the power back, support the revolution. Saor Alba, Saor Britannia!!!
