Moridura - - - ©Copyright Peter Curran 2012: The role of negotiation in Scotland’s progress towards independence
It rarely surprises a professional negotiator when politicians and media professionals betray their ignorance of the processes of negotiation – after all, professionals in many fields – the law, diplomacy, industry and commerce - where one might expect some level of negotiating skill, or at least a basic understanding of the principles to be a prerequisite of effective performance seem to manage to function with this gaping hole in their skills set. This happens often because they confuse others techniques – persuasion, selling, joint problem solving, debating skills, etc. – with negotiation. When there is some negotiating understanding, it is at the most rudimentary level, a kind of antiques fair bargain hunting haggling. It goes without saying that understanding of negotiating strategy and structures is usually totally absent. The Scotland, Barroso and the EU debac le is a case in point.

Professor Richard Whitman has statted that if Scotland becomes independent, the rest of the UK will lose status in the world Scottish independence : UK needs Scotland for global influence, says expert by Róisín O'Brien A political expert has stated that the UK’s influence in the world may decline if Scotland becomes independent. Richard Whitman, from Kent University, has specifically stated that Scotland leaving the union could have a “profound impact” on the UK’s political standing within the European Union.
I sometimes worry about the leftward edge of the Yes Scotland coalition. My own politics are very much at that end of the spectrum, but a few times in recent months – most notably when the SNP changed its policy on NATO – I’ve been concerned about the campaign putting the cart before the horse. Some very angry commentary on the NATO issue appeared to imply that we might as well stay in the Union if an independent Scotland was going to sign up to the Alliance, petulantly throwing away all the other progress that independence would enable like a toddler in a huff.
The Scotland you wish to see
Burns suppers are a Scottish export to Norway. Photograph: Graeme Robertson/Getty Images It always seemed too good to be true. And today it is all too easy to ridicule Alex Salmond for his vision of a far northern " arc of prosperity ", flexing from Reykjavik down to Dublin then across Scotland to Oslo: when the Celtic Tiger was flattened on the road like any other poor moggy, Salmond's drive towards independence for Scotland seemed to falter . But only long enough for Salmond to realign his focus. The pinpoint of his gaze is now directed with laser beam concentration on the country he has often described as the ideal model for a modern Scotland.

Just a thought… - The Anti Arty Farty Party
So there’s a possibility that membership of the EU will, after all, be debated in Westminster and might — I’ll believe it when I see it — be put to a referendum. …which got me thinking (I know, I know). Anyway, Call me Dave has stated that he wants the UK to stay in the EU and the result of any referendum would not be binding on Westminster. Is that true for the Scots?
