What has this got to do with the NHS? please reread the thread as we are talking about the Irish economy and immigration which Im told isn’t happening any more and that the Scots should take heart from Ireland standing alone economically, a better model for you guys to aspire to would be Norway imo

I was pointing out that the UK has been "exporting its nurses" after training - and filling the gap with nurses from abroad - for decades. It seems quite relevant? |

Yes, there was a risk of losing full EU membership if Scotland had voted yes, although in my opinion, not a huge or realistic one. The EU wants as many member nations as possible and would be VERY unlikely to reject quick membership from a country that already was in line with all of the laws and regulations required for membership (which is the biggest barrier to membership). The myth promoted by the "No" camp was that EU membership consideration is on a "first come, first served" basis, when it is not. The only major complaint was the Catalonia issue and Spain and that was mostly hot air. Either way, even if Scotland hadn't been granted full membership, it could simply have been an "EU mirror" like Norway or Iceland and thus have stayed in the single market until securing full membership. It's easy to assume that the Scottish independence issue and Brexit are similar in nature but they're just not if you have any real knowledge of them. Scottish independence is about full local self-determination as part of a larger economic group (the EU). It's not about isolationism or controlling the borders, like Brexit. Quite the opposite, in fact. |

Mess, I was reading the Private Eye last night (after 6 months of avoiding politics) and they say the Daily Mail has been critical of brexit since they changed chief editor in September.
Anybody can confirm that? |

The DM will be critical of Brexit if there's an indication that public opinion has shifted to be critical of Brexit, IMO. Vultures and popularists, catering to whatever the tooth-gnashing of the week dictates. Public are mad about Corbyn? CORBYN STORIES! Public mad about immigration? YAY BREXIT BOO FOREIGNERS! Oh wait, the public is worried about Brexit now? BOO BREXIT DOOM AND GLOOM!

Oh I know they're opprotunistic liars. But the fact remains they're the most widely read paper, especially amongst the older demographic. So in that respect very influential.

I am not sure that main opinion will change... Probably more amount of people will vote in general but mostly will be for Brexit as it was before. I know a couple of Brits who 3 years ago decided to buy property in Italy https://tranio.com/italy/ and now are living there. So in the first vote they voted "for Brexit" not understand full problems it will bring to them. Because now they will have to visit police every 3 months for their residence papers when before the vote once per year only.

The Sunday Mail was always anti Brexit, the DM was pro, not sure what it is now

Yes it is a similar size country but that would be all that Ireland and Scotland would have in common as ROI would still be in the EU and Scotland wouldn't, I was just pointing out some economic facts and got all sorts thrown at me for my trouble anti Irish indeed

Remembering Kerry

I think another vote is more likely but isn't likely to solve anything.
I'd vote and still vote to remain if that was on the ballot, rejecting both May's deal and no deal myself. I can see it being insisted that remain is on the ballot paper. I then can see an outcome where a 20%+ figure comes for May's deal. Higher 30s for no deal, with near a similar figure for remain. The awful division and hostility that surfaced from the last vote gaining new momentum after a second vote. If Parliament is near deadlocked, for me a general election would be preferable with an extension of article 50. It would leave the Cons either advocating no deal or Mrs May's. Labour and Corbyn would be forced too, to then detail a more clear plan. I think Corbyn could find himself trapped with a Party demanding remain. So then see what the arithmetic of Parliament is after such an election. Some seats always change hands, even a move of around 25 seats could alter things considerably. A second referendum for me is likely all that will come about, recalling the abuse I got and what I saw others get canvassing in the 2016 referendum. Doesn't however give me an appetite for another .
