blake   10 #73 Posted August 25, 2014 Isn't it funny how the NO camp isn't being led by someone from the government, or even the main governing party-the ironically named "Conservative And Unionist Party"? Ironic that the person leading the campaign to keep the British State in tact belongs to a movement that historically has worked against the establishment.  ultimately mate, you do not understand the Union. It was obvious from the start that both the main protaganists in the debate, would have to be both Scottish, that is Salmond and Darling. It is a Scottish question this for people that live in and come from Scotland like they both do. And quite rightly. I am pleased that Alistair Darling is finally putting the brilliant debating talent he always had, to good use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

blake   10 #75 Posted August 25, 2014 Brown was a hopeless debater, and so was Blair although Blair was a much better persuader than Brown. The No campaign made the right choice in assigning the fierce Scot but Unionist Alistair Darling, to be the front man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mart   71 #76 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) No he didn`t last long at all at the helm. I was surprised though that there was not a rep from the Cameron camp. Makes you wonder what really goes on behind close doors between the parties that slag each other off in the public arena.

They can run it as they see fit.  Not entirely but do not underestimate the importance of mind altering substances to an economy. Columbia, Peru, Mexico indeed most of central and south America takes a significant amount of money from the growth and distribution of cocaine.
