The SNP have long gone on about London being too far away from Scotland to understand what goes on here and that they have too much centralised control. As an Aberdonian it currently feels like Edinburgh would just become the new London if Scotland gained independence and many things would be done purely for central belt benefit. Do you believe my view is correct and I should just accept it or do you disagree? If the latter please explain what is different.

EDIT: To Yanks, Canadians and others from large land masses who are now downvoting me please see here and here.

You've proven my point brilliantly for me. Glasgow is in the central belt and with the most funding (and already with most of the infrastructure which Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness is lacking) it would make more sense for these more northerly councils to attain funding.

Surely the UK government are already trying to "unleash their full potential". They're not just sitting around waiting for magic to happen. What is it that the SNP will do that the current government is not to "unleash their full potential"?

I think the people downvoting you aren't from this area and don't know fully about the mess of UTG, the bypass or Trump's golf course. Or that they're in debt yet recently took over the 2nd largest granite building in the world as their HQ and then refurbished it inside and out.

Well... /r/metal give it a damn good try at times. Thank Satan for mods.

According to this we only have 1 university in the top 100. There's dispute over our oil and gas richness and who gets what part of it if we say tata to the rUK and yesterday this was announced which would see the depletion of much of our richness if it gets commercially viable.
