That's why the whole of the UK should get to vote on it.

You cannot deny a vote that has already happened, took place and leave lost.

Where does that end? Sounds like the EU countries should have had a vote in the 2016 Brexit referendum too on that logic.

It’s a once in a lifetime thing because the SNP said so. Also weren’t the SNP still the biggest party in Scotland prior to the 2014 referendum and Scotland still decided to Remain?
Just because the separatists are the largest party does not equate the Country wants independence, the 2014 referendum showed this.

And they're politicians, they lie, they manipulate, they move goalposts, if you want their word on anything you'd better get it in writing and preferably legally binding or else it's meaningless and worthless, shame really, I long for a time when loyalty and honour were more than words and morality couldn't be bought but we are where we are and society as a whole gets the politicians it deserves

If NI and Scotland left then it would be the Kingdom of England & Wales. The border with Scotland would presumably be minimal at first if Scotland was in a single market with E&W. By the time Scotland got round to joining the EU, I suspect E&W would be thinking along the same lines too.

Anticipating that Scotland will be trying to play hardball (over the Withdrawal Agreement) with the UK government during negotiations, I can't see the UK government being so charitable as to allow Scotland to be in a single market.
I expect our government to tell them, in advance, you make your bed and lie in it.

Er no. See the EC for details, Mr. Remainer.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
If Scotland left and had a customs union with the UK, would they be allowed to join the EU? Just look at the current NI-GB trade situation.
