What British Political Party would you consider yourself?

[Nationalist State of Knox]

As an Englishman I'd just like to say: "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE, WE REALLY LIKE YOU!"

As a Scotsman please refer to the poster who says that we should leave because we "Scrounge".

I'm good friends with lots of English people. You are not the problem. It is a) Westminster and b) Middle England as a general.

You should join with us Northerners and leave the South to fend for them-bloody-selves.

[Arglorand]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you've legitimately just not paid attention to the Scottish Independence debate for a decade and never wondered why everyone has stopped talking about "English subsidies".

Scotland does get a net subsidy from belonging to the UK.

The subsidy is actually smaller than the profit Scotland brings into the UK.

[Frazers]

Don't worry, the lodges will get it all straightened out

i'm assuming the opinion of fat drunk sabre rattlers won't go as far as they can be thrown.

The actions of determined, respectable, and highly organised members of the community will, and has historically, go a long long way.

But it's not just that we like you, you also give us labour seats. Without you we'll become a tory-tatorship. Also I'm from Middle England, we're not all so bad. Well, apart from the majority...

Scotland does get a net subsidy from belonging to the UK, i.e. Scotland gets more out of the Union than it puts in.

You didn't read the article, did you? I've put the best bit in the last half in blue, but the rest is worth reading.

But Alex Salmond and his supporters have a more basic objection (phew), which is that the revenue figures for Scotland make no mention of North Sea oil. These are falling, but were still more than £6bn in 2009-10.

If you add in a proportion of those revenues, in line with Scotland's share of the UK population, it makes very little difference to the overall story. But if you say that more than 90% of the oil revenues are Scottish, as Mr Salmond would consider geographically appropriate, then you get Scotland 'putting in' £48.1bn in tax revenues in 2009-10, not £42.7bn.

Put it another way: Scotland provided 9.4% of total UK revenues and got 'only' 9.2% of UK public spending in return.

Now of course, the UK Treasury doesn't agree that the oil revenues belong to Scotland, and it almost certainly never will. In fact, as any Scottish Nationalist will happily tell you, it was the Treasury that helped to invent a new extra-territorial category of national output for North Sea oil, in the 1970s. Treasury statisticians will tell you it made sense to keep the oil sector separate from the broader UK economy. Mr Salmond will tell you it was a Whitehall plot to steal the oil from the Scots.

So there are two numbers to choose from, depending on whether you take a Whitehall view of oil, or the view from Holyrood.

On the Treasury view, the gap between spending and revenues in Scotland for 2009-10 was £3,150 per head. On the Scottish Nationalist view, the gap between spending and revenues was closer to £2,130.

Please, take your pick. All I ask is you bear in mind one other number - related to one other obvious, but very important fact. Namely, that Scotland is not the only part of the UK that is currently spending more than it raises in revenues.

If you apply the same kind calculation to the UK as a whole, the net 'subsidy' for the average person was well over £2,000 last year.

So Scotland and England do have that in common, after all.

The United Kingdom of Scotland and the North.

That would be as confusing as Southern Ireland being more north than Northern Ireland.

How about Labour Camps and Genocide? They've been pretty effective in the past.

"Scottish Executive figures for 2009-10 show that spending per capita in Scotland was £11,370, versus £10,320 for the UK. In other words, spending in Scotland was £1,030 - or 10% higher - per head of population than the UK average."

"Scotland provided 9.4% of total UK revenues and got 'only' 9.2% of UK public spending in return. "

one wonders how respectable someone who identifies by an organisation renowned for essentially baiting the irish and arranging faux military parades out of masturbatory fantasy, with a proud history of "highly organised" violence can actually be.

"Put it another way: Scotland provided 9.4% of total UK revenues and got 'only' 9.2% of UK public spending in return. "

Hey, that sounds familiar!

"In 2010-11, total expenditure for Scotland by the UK Government, Scottish Government and other tiers of the public sector, including a per capita share of debt interest payments, was £63.8 billion. This totals 9.3% of total UK public sector expenditure.

In 2010-11, total Scottish non-North Sea public sector revenue was estimated at £45.2 billion (8.3% of UK equivalent). When our geographical share of North Sea revenue is included, total Scottish revenue was £53.1 billion (9.6% of UK total public sector revenue)."

I do not. In fact I appreciate and encourage your input.

Yes, yes i'm aware of the media portrayal of any group in NI which raises it's head above the parapet as murderous thugs.

It's totally not news to me that the bias is there.

I'm a signed up member of the Lib Dems and I campaign for them quite regularly. I'm more on the social democratic side. I'm also a fan of the Green Party, and have signed up to that as well.

I'd probably be (and have considered becoming) a Labour Party member who was part of a Euston Manifesto cell, should such a clique exist.

I don't like the Party's current line, but why bother making a minute split-off party when you can just strive to change the big, already established party into something you feel more content with?

So you support racism.

The table in there is very important, because it essentially shows that immigration from Eastern Europe benefits Britain and that Eastern European immigrants tend to use the welfare system less than "native-born" British people.

[Arglorand]

The United Kingdom of Scotland and the North.

Yes.

Yes.

Would even more eagerly move to Scotland if this happened.
