Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Just like the UK situation,
Imagine if the region of London got a deal to remain in the EU.
The rest of the UK economy would be totally ****ED!
Scotland would probably be better off on WTO rules if that happened.

The recent referendum announcement was gamesmanship IMHO, they knew Theresa May wouldn't allow it so they announced it at that point to force her to deny it could happen.

If the EU negotiations go badly (ie. NO DEAL) like it seems, then there will be a YES vote almost guaranteed.
When ever they allow it in the longer term.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

I don't see a yes vote guaranteed unless the price of oil goes and stays a lot higher. Even then, the reality of the last few years will have shown the Scottish people just how volatile their economic situation would be as an independent nation. Yes hearts can rule heads but there'll be no coming back from a yes vote and I think most Scots will know that and prefer the security of being part of the union.

Thanks for your comment, I am ashamed that the way the SNP are behaving I am proud of Scotland and Britain, I would hate a division in the U K,

You're welcome.

Every once in a while we all get too embroiled in all the political claptrap forgetting that the Scots, English, Welsh and Irish are bonded by blood and shared values.

That which God has brought together let no man (or woman) put asunder.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Interesting point someone made on another forum, 70% of Scotland's trade is with the rest of UK. if we get a bad deal with the EU and Scotland joins the EU they they will also have that bad deal.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Scottish people do not want to lose their £ either, might not be much in value just now, but it is still our currency, It will go up again

She reckons Scotland will keep the pound, next thing she'll want to keep the NHS and we will pay for at and it wouldn't surprise me if she even went down the EU argument of you owe us 50 billion in future commitments lol absolute crackpot.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

It will be interesting to see what economic arguments they come up with in the next vote although to be honest i don't expect the snp to actually campaign on the issue's i think her timing has shown their strategy. She intends to wage an independence campaign based on England voting to exit the EU and overriding the views of scotland it will be more venemous anti english campaigning wrapped up in the scottish flag making it more against​ fighting the old enemy and gaining their freedom not mentioning that in getting the freedom she will be applying right away to join the EU.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Up to the Scottish people. No problem letting them have a vote, if we are confident of the result, surely?
Scotland voted to remain, the goalposts have moved significantly since the last independence vote. No matter what you think of Nicola, there is no justification to stop them having a vote. The SNP have an overwhelming mandate in Scotland. Brexit is going to mean the end of the UK, sooner or later. Little England will be very little.

Scotland had their vote you can't just have a vote for every little thing. So they have another once in a life time vote what next another once in a life time vote because they don't like the new prime minister or they put the price of petrol up etc.

Scotland is part of the UK they had their say even though most voted remain does that mean we split up each county that voted remain and didn't get what they want and elect a parliment for each one and they all go independant.

Or

Do we wait for another Scotish leader that desides they want to leave the UK how long do we actually let this go on for?

Brexit is certainly not a 'little thing'. It's massive and Scotland didn't vote for it.

If you believe in democracy what's wrong with letting them have a vote? They might well vote to remain inspite of Brexit. Only reason to object, is if you thing they might vote a way you don't want. However it's up to the Scottish people, not us. They voted to Remain and they voted for the SNP.
