blueheaven Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I was thinking about this a little in the run up to the General Election. Would be interesting if the SNP started running for seats in the north of England, and basically pledged to bring those places along with Scotland in the event of independence or further devolution. Could end up sneakily moving the border halfway down the country! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstar101 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Last year when we were stopped at a section of Hadrians Wall, a car with four Italians in it pulled up. We felt it appropriate to beat them up then run for cover in a nearby wood to the north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it means York City joining the SPFL, sorry And standing candidates in Yorkshire would quite likely disgruntle the SNP's co-members of the European Free Alliance, Yorkshire First, who averaged around 1% of the vote in their first general election.

sleepless Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I can see it working quite clearly in Cumbria. My partner is Cumbrian, and they don't feel particularly English. In sensibility, they are much more like Scots than English. And I could see it on the east coast as far down as, say Newcastle. But after that the people seem to identify as distinctly English. Certainly here in Hull, there would be no appetite at all. Maybe it's Scotland down to the Yorkshire border, then the Independent Republic of Yorkshire, then England...

Going with the same thinking, we could have Cornish pixies, Devon dimwits, Somerset Souls, Midland Maniacs and villagers from Lancashire! "England" is Lahndn and the Home Counties....

ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Will it help Rangers get into the premiership? If not then it's a dead duck. In reality though, all the non SNP options up north are English based parties, why not have a Scottish based party in England? I suspect there might be some welcome of it, particularly in the NW of England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientsaint Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 William Wallace tried to take in parts of Northern England -got as far as York and that bampot Eddie Longshanks did the dirty forcing WW back to Scotland and the rest is History.
