In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, while in deism, God is the creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe."</i><br /><br />Hope that helps.James Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-17371545899387114202015-07-16T22:54:12.089+01:002015-07-16T22:54:12.089+01:00I seem to recall that the SNP claim that Labour ha...I seem to recall that the SNP claim that Labour have lost their class values and the SNP have replaced them.!Glasgow Working Classnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-85433708996562001872015-07-16T22:45:57.628+01:002015-07-16T22:45:57.628+01:00I asked what you meant by gods name.

It's possible a referendum could still happen in the next parliament if there's a Brexit, but that remains extremely unlikely. Even if it did happen the Greens being in coalition wouldn't prevent it as they'd vote for another referendum in those circumstances as well.Tinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-83298977539674999862015-07-15T21:17:43.940+01:002015-07-15T21:17:43.940+01:00I think you may be right.

I would far prefer an SNP led government to a Labour one, but I'm struggling to see any possible scenario in which Labour are going to get into power. The SNP have a 36% lead in the constituency vote - that isn't a contest, the battle is already won.<br /><br />The real question is what type of government you want in 2016. Do you want more of the same with an SNP majority, or one that will actually implement real progressive policies? If the SNP is relying on the Greens for a majority, even by a very small margin, then countless things that seem impossible now become doable: breaking our reliance on fossil fuels, taking inequality seriously, ending the ridiculous pro-landlord approach to housing we have in Scotland, ending privatisation in the NHS, moving toward sustainability rather than consumption led growth, etc. That should be the dream, not merely tactical voting to keep a crippled Labour party out - and the "risk" of Labour performing some kind of miracle and getting into power really shouldn't be deterring anyone who really believes in progressive politics.Tinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-88341982227238493202015-07-15T12:28:38.686+01:002015-07-15T12:28:38.686+01:00If Sturgeon loses the working majority won by Salm...If Sturgeon loses the working majority won by Salmond, you can kiss goodbye to any hope of a second independence referendum in the next 20 years.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-22345944625038653022015-07-15T11:11:36.445+01:002015-07-15T11:11:36.445+01:00As James has pointed out many times before, it is ...As James has pointed out many times before, it is a big risk, but for me there is one specific circumstance where the Green vote advocates make sense.

If the SNP did lose 10% on both votes the Greens and SNP could form a YES-coalition. If the Green vote halved and went to the SNP then the SNP would not be a majority AND couldn't form a coalition with the Greens. So actually the Greens would be the only thing keeping the SNP in government if the SNP did lose 10% of the vote and fewer Green MSPs would not be replaced by SNP ones but by Labour ones.<br /><br />I am amazed that instead of saying "The Greens will take 10 seats from Labour good for them" you say "If for no reason the SNP vote went down 10% then bad things would happen". Inventing numbers to stop yourself admiting that the Greens are totally harmless to the SNP (and under some scenarios, like your own, can be crucial to froming a Pro-YES government) isn't very scientific James.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595238601806033868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-75299228797497792692015-07-15T10:13:51.029+01:002015-07-15T10:13:51.029+01:00Imagine this.
