well that was just bollocks
both sides just taking potshots at each other rather than stating facts and figures and trying to win over the audience with the positives
gotta say they aren't swaying the undecided; next big thing should be focussing on turnout

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;45603596]"SNP is a nationalist party because they have national in their name" is circular reasoning, you used the term "nationalist" in a pejorative and derisive manner to support your debate stance, but you have yet to establish what those negative qualities are, nor have you established how better together is not equally nationalist
If you want to argue actual debating points about what particular aspects you don't like, more power you you, that's what rational discourse is. However, in a debate that is comprised almost entire of British Nationalists (people who want a civic British nation) arguing against Scottish nationalists (people who want a civic Scottish nation), I fail to see how labelled something as "nationalist" really works as as a debating stance in that context

yeah well that isn't the case
they're just a patriotic party , no need to go so deep into semantics when their policies and aim are clear
Guardian poll finds 56% thought Darling won to 44% for Salmond

Indie refs are always like a facepunch thread about religion, guns, or feminism.
20 page argument where basically everything relevant gets said in the first 2 pages, then there's about 8 pages of repeating those same things, and then there's 10 pages of repeating those things and flinging shit
