I have been consistently impressed by the Greens when I've seen them giving speeches and the like. They don't tend to have much electoral success at the moment because everything is overtaken by the independence debate, every election now is a two-horse race. That said they are becoming very, very useful when it comes to campaigning for independence. They are a very valuable asset to the Yes Campaign. I'm sure you chaps here would agree with them on most things, I've got a number of their best speeches to hand as well if you'd like to see any.
Well I'm meant to support them at least, they are a member of the Global Greens.
Having actually joined the Australian Greens myself, there is some obligation to give support to international allies, or something of that nature.

Yea, something about a world government and new world order. Look I assure you it is all very evil and full of Illuminati members and all that. Just plant more mind control trees, ok?

Just think Owlbread, 100 years from now you'll be able to be in strife with your great-great grandchildren (2113 medical technology sure is great) since you'll be the old bigoted eco-socialist with nothing more than a regional party and they'll be the bright young infoanarchists taking over the government.

I think by that point I'd just be able to look back on 2014 and be happy that we won. If the infoanarchists are taking over the government so be it.

I feel compelled to show you gentlemen my favourite personality to come out of this debate. His name is Alan Grogan, leader of the "Labour for Independence" campaign that combines old school Labour policies (like opposition to nuclear weapons, Socialism and so forth) with optimism about independence. I would recommend you watch that video I've linked to get a taste of what he's capable of.

He sounds like one of those dirty commies.  :P

Oh that he is. I think he really does bring something quite special to this campaign though, I can see a bright future for him in Scottish politics. You wanted to know my prognosis? He's front bench material one day, of the Labour Party at least. Maybe even leadership. Provided we get independence of course.

...provided England won't suddenly decide to restore their great empire by conquering Scotland and crushing the Scottish independence under their tanks.
If it actually happens, only bringing William Wallace back from the dead would probably save Owlbread and other Scottish independence activists from being democratically repressed by English security forces.

Eh, I'm sure somewhere there is an ex-colonial nation with an inflated military budget willing to roll over the English country side as an act of Scottish defense, assuming the Scots are willing to share the oil fields with them...

...Yes. Scotland inviting a bigger, militarily stronger "ally" into it's country to help stabilization. That situation reminds me of no event in Scotland's history whatsoever.

William Wallace wouldn't do much good. There's speculation that he wasn't all that much of a hero, rather he took all the credit for another knight's work - Henry de Moray or something. Robert the Bruce on the other hand...

But yes I'm impressed you know our history so well, especially the fact that we invited the English up here and all that.

Joking  but I think it's naive to expect that this will change his willingness to follow the orders.

He looks like a nice guy - and fraternization with the enemy has with good reason always been suppressed.
