If Scotland votes yes, should Cameron resign ?

[Herr Tubthumper]

it was just an excuse to link to that great website. i'd prefer to trust the word of woodlands junior than some stuffy dictionary.

So you're wrong (again). By the way you still haven't answered Machiavelli's question in the Labour 7 points thread.

 

[Lethargic]

None of them will resign, same old crap in their opinion it will not be their fault.

 

[pastafarian]

Actually yes, he should resign. The first and foremost responsibility of her Majesty's government is the preservation of the Union. If he has any honour at all, he has no choice but to offer his resignation.

Surely the first and foremost responsibility of Her Majesty`s Government is (as a body of ministers) the management of National Affairs.The preservation of The Union is only a part of the cog.A size worthy amount of people north of the border do not believe the preservation is in their national interest.

If Scotland leaves the only people to blame will be the people that voted for it and those that have instilled in the Scot psyche over many years that independence is a possibility.

I don't really get why her Maj won't state an opinion, surely that's her job - unless she wants them to go. Her Balmoral holidays will be foreign trips if they leave.

Not really foreign as she will remain as monarch of Scotland.

I do not think it will be appropriate for the monach to call Cameron a slimy selfish ****.

The monarch is a non-political role hence why she won't and in reality can't voice an opinion.

tell that to the good people at Woodlands. "broadly synonymous" doesnt mean "the same". and what question, are you stalking me? im not sure if i should be flattered or not. (thats rhetorical btw, dont care to spark off cross thread discussions.)

 

[narly101]

I'd vote for him again if they left. At least that will shut the likes of Celtic and Rangers up about joining the PFL. Build up Hadrians wall and patrol the borders. I gave up Scotch years ago, so they won't be missed by me.

I'm sure that's what they say, but I don't think this is a political issue, it's about keeping her domain in tact, she must have an opinion on that.

Any PM who saw the break up of the UK on his watch has lost his moral authority. Cameron rejected devo max on the ballot paper which would have killed off the independence vote significantly, has failed to present any real benefits of the union to voters in Scotland and shown his usual combination of arrogance and ineptitude during the whole debate. His errand boy and Millidee have both been pathetic as well but they are not the alleged leaders of the UK.

And if they vote no?

 

[Pavilionaire]

I believe Cameron is good "Chairman Of The Board"-type, great in a coalition situation and bringing people together, but step outside that and his one-on-one negotiating / haggling skills are mediocre at best.

Whipped by Clegg in the 2010 Party Leader debates, whipped by Salmond in the Scottish Referendum framework agreement of 2012, whipped by EU leaders in the EU Commissioner Juncker fiasco, some flaky foreign policy in the Middle East. If Tony Blair or David Miliband had been leading the Labour Party - rather than Red Ed The Buffoon - he'd also have been sorely challenged in PMQ's. As it is he's had a relatively easy ride.

 

[father_and_son]

If the logic is that Cameron should resign because he supported "No" and the Scots vote yes.... then everyone who backed the No campaign has to resign from their job too! Is that how it works?

 

[SAC]

If the Scotch vote yes then Cameron should resign (but he wont)
If the Scotch vote no then Salmon should resign (but be wont)

 

[beorhthelm]

And if they vote no?

it occurs to me that Salmond and the SNP leadership must resign, no?

 

[Hastings woody]

No give him a knighthood bye bye Sweatys

[Uncle Spielberg]

Ed Milliband will be PM next May anyway, God help us

Cameron is just the front man for the gang of businessmen who are now running the UK. They just trot out the same tired line that Labour caused the ( Worldwide ) economic collapse and that we are "all in it together " but, if we want to " work hard and get on " then the Tories will help us do it. Unfortunately,for most of us, this involves working harder for less money and less public services while the rich get richer and small businessmen can exploit a rich pool of cheap labour.

We are stuck with Cameron because he is the acceptable face of conservatism ( i.e. he is just acceptable to the Tory grandees) but he is no politician, he is just a bland PR who can front up and take the blows defending the Governments cut cut cut agenda. He can't be blamed for " losing " Scotland as he has no coherant policy anyway. In fact he seems to have no coherant policy on anything as he is not a conviction politician driven with the desire or the policies to change Britain.
