SNP spent more on Shetland by-election battle than Brexit referendum

The SNP has been criticised for spending more on a by-election in Shetland than on the Brexit referendum.

New figures from the Electoral Commission show the party spent £99,000 on the Holyrood by-election in August, compared to £90,000 on the referendum on leaving the European Union in 2016.

The SNP’s Shetland candidate came second to Lib Dem Beatrice Wishart in the poll.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats have hit out at the SNP over the election spending figures, which show the party spent 12.8% of the total allowed on the Brexit poll.

But an SNP MSP dismissed the attack as “incoherent and frankly laughable”.

Lib Dem Orkney and Shetland MP Alistair Carmichael claimed the party’s spending on the EU referendum is evidence of the “cynicism of the SNP leadership’s position on the EU”.

He said: “The fact that the SNP spent more on the by-election in Shetland than in the entire EU referendum campaign speaks volumes. It is disappointing but hardly surprising, considering how much lucre they flashed around in the Northern Isles over the summer.

“Apparently one more vote for independence in Holyrood was worth more to the nationalists than their European values. It’s a shame they don’t put their money where their mouth is.

“It shows the cynicism of the SNP leadership’s position on the EU. They tell their supporters one story on Europe, but their actions tell another.

“They back the EU with words, but the truth is that they see Brexit as a golden opportunity to push independence at the price of our country’s well-being.”

The Shetland by-election, which was called after the resignation of Tavish Scott, saw Ms Wishart take the seat with almost 48% of the vote.

The First Minister, along with a number of other high-profile SNP members, made several visits to Shetland ahead of polling day.

SNP MSP Rona Mackay said: “This is an incoherent and frankly laughable attack from the Lib Dems.

“The SNP has been and remains the strongest advocate for Scotland’s place in Europe - and, of course, in the Brexit referendum Scotland voted overwhelmingly to Remain.

“The reality is the Lib Dems would rather see Scotland taken out of the EU with a Tory Brexit than be a member state of Europe in our own right.

“They should be helping to remove Boris Johnson from office so that we can hold a general election and stop Brexit - instead of pandering to Tory voters as (Lib Dem leader) Jo Swinson has been doing.”

離島不能隨便畫! 蘇格蘭立法禁止懶惰畫法
  
2018/10/09 22:14
〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕在英國蘇格蘭北方的離島昔德蘭群島(Shetland Islands),過去常以插入縮圖方式出現在地圖上,不過這個月蘇格蘭實施新規定,要求繪圖者必須準確的把昔德蘭群島放置在地圖的相對位置上。

據《華盛頓郵報》報導,昔德蘭群島距離英國約160公里,人口約2萬2000人;選區在昔德蘭群島的蘇格蘭國會議員史考特(Tavish Scott)表示,昔德蘭群島一直以來被以「懶惰畫法」呈現,在地圖中僅被放在蘇格蘭東方海域的圖框裡,因此長期誤導遊客,導致各種往來昔德蘭群島的安排被忽略,當地經濟受到嚴重影響。

報導中指出,新法律會讓昔德蘭群島看起來更小、更邊緣;英國官方的地圖製作機構也說,如果採用新法律標示昔德蘭群島,地圖會出現太多充滿海洋的篇幅;但在新法律中出現了免罰條款,如果是「避免過多空白」,就可以不遵守此法。

但插入縮圖或放入圖框在其他國家十分常見,如美國的阿拉斯加和夏威夷會被放在圖框中,並排在加州旁邊,不過史考特強調,昔德蘭群島不適用這種方式。

Shetland Islands warns Sturgeon we ‘won’t ask permission’ for freedom from Scotland
SHETLAND Islands independence campaigners have warned Nicola Sturgeon they "won't ask permission" for freedom from Scotland.
By REBECCA PERRING
PUBLISHED: 09:01, Sat, Oct 3, 2020 | UPDATED: 12:05, Sat, Oct 3, 2020

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is under mounting pressure as residents in the rugged archipelago signal their desire to unshackle from Scotland and the UK. Sovereign Nation of Shetland campaigner Stuart Hill, who believes the islands have never belonged to Scotland or Britain, rallied on fellow residents to Shetland to have the guts to stand up and demand what we want”.

He told Express.co.uk: “From a legal perspective, Shetland is already independent, but ruled by a foreign occupying power.
“There simply is no proof that Shetland ever became part of Scotland, but plenty of proof to the contrary.

“This is surely the position from which to start negotiations – any other stance can only guarantee worthless sops and the cementing of illegitimate power exercised by Scotland and the UK.

“The truth is that we don't have to ask anyone for permission to do anything. We just have to have the guts to stand up and demand what we want. “
He warned the islands are in an “amazingly strong negotiating position” to fight for “absolute autonomy” after the Shetlands Islands Council approved a motion to consider options for an independence referendum.

Mr Hill said: “For instance, we should be asking the UK government how it has the right to be negotiating Brexit with our fisheries.

“With a large part of 'UK' oil and 'Scottish' fisheries in our waters, Shetland is in an amazingly strong negotiating position. Let's not throw it away in our haste to get 'more autonomy'.

“Absolute autonomy is our right. Let's start from there.”

The local council recently approved a motion to begin “exploring options for achieving financial and political self-determination”.

The move could trigger a Shetland Islands referendum to unshackle themselves from Scotland.

Twenty-two councillors backed the motion, which reads: “We believe that Shetland has the wherewithal to have a positive future.

“However, in recent times we have seen more and more decision making being centralised and public funding being consistently reduced.

“We are concerned that this ongoing situation is seriously threatening the prosperity, and even basic sustainability, of Shetland as a community.

“In order to look at alternatives to ensure Shetland can reach and maintain its full potential, we, the undersigned, move that: ‘The Shetland Islands Council formally begins exploring options for achieving financial and political self-determination.’”

It appears residents and councillors hope to adopt a similar path taken by the Faroe Islands, which have autonomous status within the Kingdom of Denmark.

Growing frustration over reduced government funding from Holyrood and centralised decision making is thought to have triggered the move.

Mr Hill, claims the Shetlands belongs to Norway because it was pawned to Scotland by King Christian in 1469 to cover a dowry for his daughter, but was never formally or legally made part of Scotland or the UK.

The Englishman has been campaigning over constitutional matters since he arrived in Shetland in August 2001 after his boat capsized around 50 miles west of the isles.

He wants the Shetlands and Orkney to have their own flag, currency and stamps.

蘇格蘭最北端島尋求獨立

更新: 2020-09-17 9:32 PM    

近日,蘇格蘭最北端的謝特蘭群島(設得蘭群島,Shetland)的政務委員會投票同意尋求群島獨立。


政務委員會20名成員中有18人贊成一項有關尋求「獲得財政和政治自決」的動議。

這些地方議員表示,目前蘇格蘭的事務越來越多地由中央決策,而且蘇格蘭民族黨政府削減了群島的公共撥款,「我們擔心,這種持續的局面嚴重威脅了謝特蘭社區的繁榮,甚至威脅到基本的維持能力」。

政務委員會表示,當地自決的行動需要獲得全島範圍的全民公投的支持。委員會領袖庫茨(Steven Coutts)表示,英國政府將一些權力下放給蘇格蘭政府,但是謝特蘭島沒有感受到這樣的益處,而且蘇格蘭議會對於他們來說感覺「遙遠」,「現狀行不通」。

庫茨表示政務委員會計劃在近日與蘇格蘭和英國政府討論自決的選項。

謝特蘭群島距離蘇格蘭本土大約105英里,有2.3萬人,總面積約550平方英里。群島曾經歸屬挪威,在15世紀成為蘇格蘭的一部分。

謝特蘭尋求獨立對於蘇格蘭民族黨政府不是一個好消息,因為謝特蘭島可能會要求保留當地水域出產的石油的收入和擁有群島周圍水域的捕魚權,這會影響蘇格蘭的財政收入。

酒旗儿:如果上海人公投,以其排外的地域性格,估计支持独立的占多数。 (2014-03-26 22:42) 

我觉得不是上海人排外,而是因为富裕的都有和穷的撇清关系的倾向。比如《WTO姐妹会》里面,有一个嘉宾是哈尔滨的,主持人说你们哈尔滨怎么样怎么样,然后这个嘉宾说,那肯定是哈尔滨郊县的,我们是市里的。你看,人性就是这样,总是抬高自己一方,你们穷都会拖累我,如果我独立了就无敌了,这种思想是人的略根性,他们根本没想到还有很多外地人支撑着他们。。。
