No happy ending

An interesting situation is arising which places both the UK government and the SNP administration in an awkward position.

Due to the likelihood that Jean-Claude Juncker, the former Luxembourg prime minister, will be made the new president of the European Commission, Prime Minister David Cameron may find himself and the UK placed in a position of relative isolation.

As Mr Juncker wishes to encourage greater and greater unification in the EU, with an end in mind of creating a United States of Europe, surely Mr Salmond should be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Mr Cameron in opposing the nodding in of yet another unelected official in an undemocratic institution which now runs most of our lives?

Of course, I may have missed something, but I am sure that 
Mr Salmond and his party claim to want “independence” for Scotland.

However, without supporting the UK in its attempts to impose some element of democratic influence by member states, I fail to see how a vote for the SNP would deliver that.
In fact, of course, the SNP wishes to sell us a pup.

It is asking Scots to vote for even less power to make real decisions in a democratic forum, not more. The Scottish people must be made aware of the SNP’s sophistry.

A vote for the Yes campaign is a vote that would deny us a democratic future.
